in a dorm at party house In the area, the reporter saw Jin Zhiming and his old train station in Ji'nan. on a table in the yard, Jin Zhiming put his work out, and an old railway station model appeared. The dark brown railway station is about one meter long. The doors and windows and walls are exquisitely made, and doors and windows are open. The interior of the hall is clearly visible. Jin Zhiming told reporters that this model is basically the appearance of the old railway station in Ji'nan in the 60s of last century.
this model is composed of four parts: the bell tower, the old ticket hall, the middle waiting room, and the West waiting room, all carved in red wood and a layer of walnut oil on the outside, and walnut oil is more natural than ordinary paint. Jin Zhiming said that buying these mahogany cost more than ten thousand yuan.
Jin Zhiming said the model had participated in the second Ji'nan art fair, although it was not completely completed yet, but a director of the mass art museum looked at Mao Lu in order to allow him to take the work in the past.
I didn't promise to participate in the exhibition at the beginning, for fear of being laughed at. But when the director came here four times, I couldn't make any excuses. I spent a couple of days working overtime during the day and I managed to make the most of it. Jin Zhiming said.
sculpture model to make up for regret
three years ago, Jin Zhiming retired from a military factory. Referring to the idea of carving the old railway station in Ji'nan, Jin Zhiming said that this stems from his heart's regret for the old railway station.
originally, Jin Zhiming was a worker at the old train station in Ji'nan from 1972 to 1980, and 8 years had made him deeply affections to the old railway station.
at that time, I was responsible for burning the boiler at the railway station because traffic was not convenient and far away from home. Basically, all the rooms were at the railway station. When you leave work, you will also stroll around the railway station, and sometimes you will go home by train. Then I was transferred to the military factory. By the time I heard that the railway station had been demolished, I managed to take a picture, but when I got there, the station had been demolished and the pictures were not made. Jin Zhiming said that from then on, he always felt that he was missing something.
Jin Zhiming had been a carpenter when he was young. He had a deep interest in carving. He often carved some things like animals and carriages, and gradually became famous in the circle of friends. In a conversation with his friends, he raised the regret of the old railway station, and he was encouraged to carve a railway station model.
three months drew four sets of drawings
after retirement, Jin Zhiming began to carve his own woodcarving. Although Kim Chi Ming has a deep memory of the railway station, he still needs to draw drawings first.
in addition to collecting information on the Internet, he also found some people specially studying the old railway station in Ji'nan to ask for some original photos. As a non professional person, Jin Zhiming paints pictures very painfully. He said that time was the most time consuming, and could not sleep all night.
over the first three months, I drew a total of four sets of drawings, the first three sets are not satisfied, but each set has each set of harvest, to fourth sets of time finally feel that it is possible. Jin Zhiming said.
in order to maximize the original appearance, every little detail of the old station is what Kim Chi Ming wants to study. For example, there is a lot of attention in this bell tower part. Originally, this part of the station clock tower is all stone. There are 21 rows in all. Inside the clock tower is a spiral staircase, the windows above are also stagger, but the location is not arbitrary. There are several rows of bricks under each window. Apart from these, the proportion and height of each part of the station should be carefully studied, not as high as you want to get higher. Jin Zhiming said that because of limited information, it is not easy to find out the details.
despite the experience of failure during carving, some of the sculptures that had been done were pushed back. Jin Zhiming said that the old train station is the mood of their generation, hoping that their work can show the original appearance of the station as far as possible memories of the past.
