Jewelry design is Hu's specialty, while his wife is good at business operation. Speaking of his attachment to his wife, Hu has many sweet memories.
From 65438 to 0995, 27-year-old Hu left Myanmar to study Chinese at Taiwan Province Normal University. At that time, a professor in the school liked jade very much. The two had a deep intersection, and the professor then introduced another jade lover to Hu. This jade lover is Liu Weizhen, the daughter of a friend of the professor.
Liu Weizhen later became Hu's wife. Nonsense. When they first dated at school, Liu Weizhen brought a lot of green emeralds, all of which were B and C. However, Hu's mind is obviously not on this jade. He didn't disclose his appraisal results to Liu Weizhen. "If I do, I'm afraid she won't come out to date me in the future."
Liu Weizhen is good at doing business. Forty years ago, her father founded Fuyu beef jerky in Taiwan Province Province, which is very famous. Under the influence of such an environment, Liu Weizhen is full of interest in business. 1999, Fuyu Jewelry Company was born. Liu Wei is really the general manager and Hu is the backstage designer. After solving the problem of sales channels in the initial stage of the enterprise, in 2008, Fuyu Jewelry's income in the three places across the Taiwan Strait was close to NT$ 600 million.
Dare to give up is the most remarkable place in Hu's works. The original stone of Rootwind is a tricolor jadeite stone weighing 89 kilograms. It lasted three years and was revised more than ten times. When it is finished, it weighs less than one kilogram. If it weren't for the rich collection of jade mine owners and their extreme persistence in art, such courage would be unimaginable.
"Emerald is hard and expensive, and many people dare not touch it and are unwilling to touch it. Just like diamonds, a 100-carat thing needs to be carved into a 10-carat butterfly. What if it breaks down? Later, I slowly learned from the masters. I said don't treat it as jade, just as plastic and soil. " Hu Yurong said.
In order for a work to endure loneliness for three years, it is not easy for ordinary people to cultivate a master who can really endure loneliness. "It is difficult for young people to settle down now. I hope I also want to set up a school in the mainland, so that children who want to learn can learn jade carving. However, few young people are interested in this. Many schools in the south have opened such classes, but they can't do it in the end. "
Another question is, who will agree with the value of this time-consuming and material-consuming thing? The first lesson Hu gave the new designer was to visit the museum. "We should look for a breakthrough after learning from previous works. Since it is a work of art, since we spent so much time on it and spent so much precious jade, wouldn't it be ridiculous if we didn't show it to experts? "
The 2007 Beijing Olympic Games is an opportunity for Hu, and his design team is already preparing some special works to be released at that time.
On September 6, 2007, in a jade jewelry store in Beijing, a customer took a fancy to a small work of art: it was made of a stone with two words "Ruyi" engraved on it. The whole work of art is made of pure jade, which means "always satisfied". The customer requested that this artwork be sent to the appraisal department for appraisal. The appraisal department believes that "Ruyi" and "Stone" are made by bonding two jadeites.
This appraisal result made Hu, the artistic director of jewelry store, very angry. He immediately rushed back to the store, took out this jade ruyi designed by himself from the counter and knocked it off the "stone" with a bang. This jade ruyi with a price of 690,000 yuan immediately became a waste product. Several professional shopping guides from Taiwan Province Province in the store saw this scene and cried with a wow.
"Don't say value of hundreds of thousands, is the value 1 100 million. If it hurts our innocence, I will still break it. " Chinese Burmese who have lived in Taiwan Province Province for more than ten years are talking nonsense.
This piece of "forever satisfied" is carved from a small jade stone. In Hu's mind, ordinary jadeite rough stones are used to make goods and earn cash income, while the best jadeite rough stones-Hu has collected more than 300 pieces of such jadeite rough stones in 30 years-are only used to do one thing: the best carving art, and "not for sale".
In more than ten years, Hu has carved more than forty best works of art in his heart. Qin Xiaoyi, former director of the National Palace Museum in Taipei and a leading figure in the field of cultural relics in Taiwan Province Province, just died in 2007. In the last five years of his life, the most unforgettable thing is Hu and his jade art treasures. A few days before his death, he also went to Hu's home to see the newly completed jade works of art. His evaluation of these works of art is: "This is 2 1 century jade cabbage." The jade cabbage in the Qing Palace is now in the National Palace Museum in Taipei, which represents the highest achievement of jade art.
Hu has held many art exhibitions in Taiwan Province, exhibiting more than 40 works ... Taiwan Province Province, a woman who has visited museums all over the world and seen numerous cultural relics appreciation exhibitions, stood in front of a work of art called "Roots of Love" and could not help crying. She had to come forward personally by Hu and ask her to calm down. This work of art presents a picture of a green scarab resting on a residual lotus leaf, which has a prosperous artistic conception of returning to nature. "The fine carving of the residual texture shows this lady how hard we work," Hu Yurong said.
