She is a "post-95" who came into contact with floristry at the age of 17 and won the first prize in the floral project of the National Skills Competition for the first timeIn 2022, he will enter colleges and universities as a garden training instructor and engage in World Competition training.
She is the coach of the 45th and 46th WorldSkills Competition Floral Art Project China Training Team, and is also the head of the coaching team of the 47th WorldSkills Competition Shanghai Training Team, and has twice won the title of "Gold Medal Instructor of the WorldSkills Competition Floral Art Project".
She is the gold medal coach Lu Duojia.
From learning to Xi painting to being a florist
I have been learning Xi painting since I was a child, I have studied for more than 10 years, when I went to school to choose a major, I wanted to choose painting or related animation design, but my mother enrolled me in the garden major, I didn't like flowers and plants very much at that time, and I fell in love with floral art. Lu Duojia said.
It was during her time at school that she was introduced to floristry for the first time. "At that time, I wanted to select students to participate in the National Vocational College Skills Competition, and I signed up with the mentality of joining in the fun. Although she had zero foundation before, she believed that hard work would definitely pay off. It may be that he is really talented in floral art, or he may be Xi hard enough, Lu Duojia passed the test in the school selection, and finally successfully won, representing the school to participate in the national competition, and won the first prize of the art flower arrangement project of the secondary vocational group.
The results were unexpected, after all, there was no previous experience. "Before the national competition, she trained for more than 3 months, and she had Xi theoretical and practical training, and her time was full every day. Lu Duojia said, "I still vividly remember that at that time, I was desperately practicing Xi floral skills, such as loose-tailed sunflower weaving, and I was almost stunned." At the scene of the National Skills Competition, she used birds of paradise, lilies and other flowers, plus antique lattice wooden frames, to create floral works, which were highly praised by the judges.
Looking back on his journey of learning Xi floral art, Lu Duojia is very fortunate that he was able to learn Xi from Zhu Yingying, a master of Chinese flower arrangement. "Mr. Zhu has always pursued the ultimate in craftsmanship, which has benefited me a lotShe also cares about us in life, she will put some small snacks in her bag, and see that we are training hard, and will take them out for us to eat every time. She said.
After the National Skills Competition, Lu Duojia became more interested in floral art, and devoted more and more energy to floral Xi and creation, and participated in the competition one after another, and successively won the gold medal of the floral project of the Shanghai "Four Brands" Vocational Skills Competition, and the silver medal of the 10th China Flower Expo Exhibition Category (Modern Floriculture) and many other awards.
The work "The Brain That Breaks the Mindset", which won the silver medal at the 10th China Flower Expo, is a masterpiece that Lu Duojia is quite satisfied with. The work uses a white hooked iron frame, the "brain" adopts a bamboo frame, with the white emperor as the focal point, and the upper flower form is made in the form of a focal upper flower. "This work uses an extra-long bamboo streaking across the overall composition, giving people a tendency to break the circular structure, hence the name. She believes that when designing floral works, we should not rely on inertial thinking, but learn to change, break through and innovate, otherwise it is easy to have similar designs.
As a gold medal coach, she jokingly calls herself a "senior nanny".
After the age of 22, because I was older than the age to participate in the floral program of the WorldSkills Competition, I moved behind the scenes and became the coach and management teacher of the Chinese training team, guiding the students to win gold medals. In July 2017, Lu Duojia graduated and entered Shanghai Construction Management Vocational and Technical College, the former Shanghai Urban Construction Engineering School (Shanghai Garden School), and his identity has changed from a student to a teacher.
Because of the similar age and skill level of the contestant Pan Shenhan, Lu Duojia, as the "alternate player" of China in the 44th World Floral Art Championships, served as Pan Shenhan's "simulated opponent" and accompanied him to sprint for the World Championships. In the process of sparring, Lu Duojia found that Pan Shenhan likes to "stuck" to complete her works, which made her very worried. In a simulated competition, she deliberately slowed down and "stuck" to complete the game, resulting in a serious loss of points in the module she was good at and losing to Pan Shenhan, which made Pan Shenhan understand her good intentions. Finally, at the 44th World Championships, Pan Shenhan responded calmly and won the championship as he wished.
In the second half of 2018, the school started the selection and training for the 45th WorldSkills Competition. At this time, Lu Duojia has become the coach of the Chinese training team and the management teacher of the training team. Not only does she have to coach the players in their technical skills, but she also has to take into account the mental and physical state of each player. Knowing that Lu Yiwei likes to drink Coke, Lu Duojia's backpack is stuffed with Coke, "I hope to do everything possible to make the players have a good mental state." ”
The 2022 WorldSkills Competition Special Competition was held, and during the epidemic, Lu Duojia and other three people accompanied Yang Lingzhi to participate as members of the World Skills Support Group, "It was October, Finland was about to enter the polar night period, there were few days, and our support team did not live with the referees of the national team, and we felt that we were in a cold and biting night on the way back to the hotel every time we competed."
During the preparation for the competition, the support team learned that there were fine bamboo strips in the competition material list. Since the contestants rarely use bamboo strips in China, the support team looked for bamboo strips everywhere for Yang Lingzhi to practice Xi. In the end, it was Lu Duojia who had a flash of inspiration and thought of IKEA, and sure enough, they bought a lampshade woven from bamboo strips. "Remove the bamboo strips on the lampshade and give it to Lingzhi for training, she has a feel that she will not panic, and our security team will also feel at ease. Lu Duojia said.
From the technical training of the contestants to the clothing, food, housing and transportation, Lu Duojia is in charge, and she jokingly calls herself an "all-round nanny" who knows how to do flowers.
Talking about the impact of work on his floral level, Lu Duojia said that although since he served as a coach, the number of do-it-yourself works has become less and less, and more is to tutor students to complete floral works, but the understanding of floral art has become deeper and deeper, "When I was a contestant, I didn't understand floral art, I felt that it was a simple repetition, and I didn't need to understand natural beauty, until I took the contestants to participate in the World Skills Competition to slowly understand and appreciate floral art." ”
We have already won two gold medals in the 44th and 45th World Floral Events. Next year, our team will lead the contestants to participate in the floral event of the 47th WorldSkills Competition held in Lyon, France, hoping to win another gold medal. When it comes to the future, Lu Duojia is full of confidence.
