Gao Guiying, the old artist, the dough figurine and the students are my children.

Near the Black Tiger Spring Park, there is a noodle shop. Every weekend, an old man sells five or six children with his face. The students have changed one after another, but the old man has been sticking to his position. The old man was named Gao Guiying. Since the 90s of last century, she has been wrapped up in bag and penniless to impart dough to family difficult students. Over the years, Gao Guiying has given over 4000 apprenticeship. Gao Guiying said that her salary, pensions and kneading dough's income almost all invested in students. Yesterday, the reporter came to Gao Guiying's dough shop, a dilapidated courtyard on the road, searching for her related heritage story.
God, the face is also a living
if it is not a dough, Gao Guiying may be an ordinary retired woman worker. But because of the face of plastic, her fate has changed.
Gao Guiying's dough shop is located in a rough bungalow near the roadside market in the South Liu Jia Zhuang district. The rented house is less than 10 square meters, and it also serves as a classroom, dining room and student hostel. In the middle of the room is a small table full of people and raw materials, which is the workbench of Gao Guiying and students.
Gao Guiying said that when she was poor when she was a child, her parents sold her to a family with a high surname, a woman who was a woman and hinder the tradition of Yu Chuannan's non - women, and she did not get a chance to formally learn the art of face plastic. But Gao Guiying secretly followed the grown-ups to learn, with diligence and savvy, successfully mastered all the skills of dough figurines. But really devoted to plastic art or retirement?
more than ten years ago, after retiring from the factory, Gao Guiying began to devote herself wholeheartedly to the dough art she loved. Every day, she rises at dawn, with noodles, steamed noodles, and coloring to prepare all kinds of basic materials used for plastic molding. Gao Guiying said that if she had given her a picture with her present craft, she would have been able to match the image in the photo to be vivid. At Gao Guiying's house, she showed her dough works to reporters, bright roses, cute cats, and magnificent dragons. Gao Guiying said that the most difficult to knead is the face, and the expression and essence of the character should be pinched out.
she often teaches the apprentice that "the most important thing is to have a God, a God, and a face person to live." As a result, her face was very popular in the market. However, Gao Guiying is very modest about the fact that there are many good entertainers in Ji'nan. She just "pinches".
interview gap, reporters try to observe and think, what kind of ability to make her face in her hands to become vivid. Surprisingly, compared with these flexible and delicate dough figurines, Gao Guiying's hands are rough hands. Therefore, it is not hard to imagine that its success is full of untold efforts and sweat.
love, whatever difficulties can go through
if not love, Gao Guiying may be just an ordinary plastic artist. But because of her love, she began to influence others' fate.
in the 90s of last century, Gao Guiying could not bear to see his colleagues unable to earn money to support their families because they lost their jobs, and began to teach them to earn their living by kneading dough. Now, twenty years later, Gao Guiying has collected more than 4000 students. For this reason, she has almost put all her savings and pensions at home.
"I can still eat rice, but some people can't even eat." Gao Guiying said this was the simplest reason for her voluntary apprenticeship. When the reporter came to Gao Guiying's house, five or six students were sitting around to knead their faces. Wang Lao Han of Henan is 70 years old. She saw Gao Guiying's information on her cell phone and found her home. Mr. Liu of Sichuan came to Ji'nan after a day and a night's train after seeing Gao Guiying give free tuition on the Internet.
in Gao Guiying's cabin less than 10 square meters, there are seven or eight students at present. "Sleep on the sofa two, the rest of the floor shop, the girls have a bed to sleep." Gao Guiying built a girl's dormitory, actually a simple wooden plank house, even without windows, but she lived in four or five female students. In the cold winter, Gao Guiying and his students chopped wood and water together, and almost all the three meals were radish cabbage. Despite all of it, Gao Guiying still felt sorry for the students. She wanted to have a face plastic public school, at least to let the students have a home without wind and rain.
now, Gao Guiying still lives in a room with one room and one hall. His wife is not in good health, and the only daughter has many complaints. "I once thought about giving up, but people kept coming to worship, and they could not rush home from a long distance." Over the years, Gao Guiying has always adhered to her principles. "As long as they are poor, they will eat and manage bags." If I want to learn to play, I have no time to teach him.
Li Zhonghua, who graduated from the Shandong School of political law, was one of Gao Guiying's young apprentice among the few high students. Gao Guiying had not only imparted his face to face plastic skills, but also gave him college tuition, and ran his wedding and put a lot of money on him. Gao Guiying's apprentice, Yan Shuwen, had nasopharyngeal cancer at the age of 13. When Yan Shuwen and his son and his son fell to the streets, Gao Guiying took them back home and took the responsibility of raising money to raise money for their children... "All of us have devoted a little love to all difficulties." This is one of the words that Gao Guiying often said.
is responsible for the legacy of the old ancestor to be passed down to
as the inheritor of Ji'nan folk dough art, and Gao Guiying does not spare no effort to inherit the remains.
recently, she was hired as a counsellor outside the school of dough education. At 3 p.m. every day, she will appear on the campus on time and teach pupils to knead people. Gao Guiying is no stranger to this kind of sculpture into the campus. For many years, Gao Guiying has brought the art of plastic sculpture into many universities, middle schools and primary schools. She said that she brought the plastic to school, so that the children could understand this art form and pass it on.
"dough figurines and students are my children." Gao Guiying said, "I have taught so many students not only to help them earn their living, but also a cultural heritage. These students will have their own students in the future, so they will be passed down from generation to generation. I will not retain anything handed down by my ancestors. I will teach anyone who wants to learn. I feel that I have this responsibility. "
