This is the second year that Lin has moved from Guangzhou to Jingdezhen, and it is also the second year that she has left Dachang and turned to become a pottery creator.
She had endured a long period of self-doubt, but now, the problems that had besieged her had not completely dissipated, but they were no longer so difficult to overcome.
She no longer treats life as an exam and tries her best to fill in the standard answers.
For Lin Apple, it is not difficult to summarize his youth, and the sentence "a very hard-working poor student" is enough to summarize.
Her high school entrance examination results were not good, so when she learned that the nearby school was holding an art exam, she did not discuss it with her parents, so she went to the stationery store to buy good painting materials and rushed into the examination room. Relying on this art exam, she stepped on the line to enter high school.
Her college entrance examination results were not good, and in her own words, if it weren't for the bonus point policy in her hometown, she might not have been able to get into college.
Trying her best to enter an environment that does not belong to her, and she can't live a "perfect life" no matter what, this feeling is like a thorn in her chest, and the older she gets, the more she moves in.
During the summer vacation of college, Lin Apple was painting at home, and her father was vaguely reproachful in his words, asking her if she wanted to try to work for the summer vacation, what she didn't tell her father was that these paintings were used by her to participate in the competition, and if she got the ranking, she would have a bonus.
The portfolio accumulated through the competition became a stepping stone for her to graduate and enter a large factory.
In a large company, everyone is very clever, and as soon as she says it, it is an invisible confidence, and she is in such a collective for the first time, and she not only admires the bright minds of her colleagues, but also feels out of place again.
Lin Apple is in charge of strip comic painting in the company, according to the script that has been written, according to the requirements of the drawing, after more than 100 strip comics, she gradually feels that she is just a pair of hands used by others, what ingenuity is on the picture, what kind of story the people behind the picture have, no one really cares.
With the moment of squeezing on the subway, or the night when she returns to the rental house under the moonlight, only the ** in the headphones accompanies her, making her feel that she is not alone. Usually, she likes to use Huawei** to listen to songs, rich resources in the spatial audio area - from classical to pop, from folk music to symphony, etc., each work makes her have a sense of pleasure in listening to live, in many late nights at work alone or on the way home, it is a colorful **world in her ears, giving her a lot of delicate companionship and emotional**.
Although he finally survived his student days, Lin Apple never seemed to have walked out of the examination room.
The questions she faces become daily tasks, the graders become Party A and her boss, and she is still the candidate who desperately fills in the answers to the test papers, constantly guessing the preferences of the questioners, and constantly moving herself closer to the standard answers.
She wanted to quit her job altogether, but she fell into boundless anxiety: how to support herself without income?Do others feel like failures?
What she didn't expect was that soon, fate made a choice for her - she was laid off. When I actually left the company, I didn't feel as anxious as I imagined, but I felt relieved.
It seems that this joking encounter gave her the courage she hadn't lost for a long time, and there was nothing to lose anyway, so why not do something that really made her happy?
She thought that in the handicraft class at university, the plates she made were very popular with her classmates, and it didn't take long for them to be divided, but she didn't leave anything. "Let's make a set of my own tableware", this idea came to her mind, and without too much hesitation, she packed her luggage and headed for Jingdezhen.
When she first arrived in the village, she didn't know anyone, and her daily routine was simple: eat, sleep, and knead mud. The only conversation at home,It's a conversation with Huawei's smart assistant Xiaoyi,She only needs to say"Xiaoyi Xiaoyi,Find out the pears in the album**" Xiaoyi can help her accurately find out the eligible ** in the album**,Because you can call up the required sample at any time,Her hands that are busy kneading mud and coloring are also liberated。
In fact, she enjoyed this life of only doing one thing very much, and for two or three months in a row, there were almost only her and Xiaoyi's voices in the rental house. In her free time, she used Huawei Reading to read a lot of pottery books, and a large number of high-quality book resources allowed her to read some niche books, whether it was typography, animation effects or exclusive fonts, all of which brought an immersive reading experience comparable to that of paper books. When she is the most "up", she will use Huawei to read and listen to audiobooks while making mud.
After the first batch of cups came out of the kiln, she took a ** and posted it on Xiaohongshu, but she didn't expect to get up the next day and look at it, and the private messages were full of inquiries about the purchase link, and she was startled: Will anyone really spend so much money to buy things they make?
She was cautious, but she didn't expect the other party's acceptance to be very high, and then, like a dream, she hurriedly packed and sent the courier, originally wanting to leave her cup, but it was snatched up again.
The pottery I make seems to be really popular. For the first time in her life, Lin Apple boldly let this idea flow in her heart. She began to try to sell her own handmade porcelain, and basically every batch was empty.
Lin Apple decided to quit the house he had rented in Guangzhou and stay in Jingdezhen.
When I was a child, my parents didn't often praise Lin Apple in front of outsiders, her grades were not good, and she didn't have any specialties that she could use. Later, when she went to work in a large company, her family began to generously introduce her current situation to others, but in the face of those glittering business names, her heart became more and more full of doubts, what is the meaning of her work?
After coming to Jingdezhen, she no longer bothered about the glamour of her name, and when others asked, she only said that she was kneading mud and would not explain too much. I don't know when she didn't care much about what others thought of her, and she didn't think about whether what she did met the worldly definition of success.
There was one thing that had a profound impact on her. There is no shortage of various types of blank drawing machines in Jingdezhen, if the machine is handed over to make clay, the output and yield will increase a lot, but after several new products, she found that customers still prefer handmade clay blanks, because the cups made in this way are different and each one is unique.
She suddenly found that life is like kneading mud with her hands, there is no standard template to follow, and there is no "perfect score" or not, every hand-made cup has its own soul, just like every kind of life, has its own meaning of existence.
Today, Lin Apple's Little Red Book has 40,000 followers, and more importantly, she is now more sure than ever that what she is doing now belongs to her own and not to anyone else.
Of course, with each step forward in entrepreneurship comes a little more challenging.
In addition to creating, she also has to learn to lead the current team of three, every time she launches a new product, she has to shoot and organize product pictures, sometimes, she will shoot hundreds of photos a day**.
Gradually, there are more and more ** in her mobile phone, and the function of "freeing up local storage space" in HUAWEI CLOUD space has achieved fast "****Out of consideration for data security, she simply uploaded all important product drawings and manuscripts to HUAWEI CLOUD space, and the cross-terminal synchronization function also allows her to use the tablet to create or use the mobile phone to view product pictures, you can call up the ** in the gallery at any time. She is learning step by step to be a manager who takes care of everything in an orderly manner.
She slowly understood that life is like this, there are always unexpected levels ahead, but there will always be ways to cross. On the way forward, she is not alone, there are many people like her, who strive to build the life of their dreams, and there are also companions like Huawei device cloud services to promote the progress of life in the details and protect every story of courage.
Whether it is Xiaoyi, a smart assistant that responds to everything, or Huawei Wallet, which makes life payment more convenient, or Huawei**, which brings an ultra-immersive audio-visual experience, we can see that Huawei's terminal cloud service goes deep into the fabric of life and helps people take a step forward.
Through its continuous evolution, Huawei's device cloud services illuminate more corners of life, support people's courage to change themselves, and witness the warm moment of "taking a step forward". It also makes us believe that what matters is not what the scenery is ahead, but the determination to take that step, and every indomitable actor deserves to be rewarded and protected.
On the occasion of the 2023-2024 New Year's Eve, Nanfeng Window and Huawei Device Cloud Service will jointly record this story of courage and change, hoping to encourage more people to overcome secular discipline and inner obstacles while crossing this year.
In the new year, we step into the past together and take a step forward in life.
