7. Anton Tscherne: Talk about why you are engaged in your present career. What are some stories?

Interviewee: My life of micro-sculpture art: When I was a child, I lived in the countryside of Ji'an, Jiangxi Province. Today, I am engaged in an extreme art and an extreme occupation, one by one, as a micro-sculptor.

When I was a child, influenced by my father's brush writing, I won the first place in the school competition in brush calligraphy when I was in the fifth grade of primary school. When I was in high school, I spent three days and three nights in my room during the summer vacation without eating or drinking. At that time, I didn't understand the real concept of calligraphy, nor did I see any posts. I just liked writing, and my family were all confused, thinking that I was foolish in reading and reading. In the 1990s, I graduated from the art major of the Normal School and went to Shanghai. I lived in the attic of my grandmother's house. The attic was built on the public aisle. It was so big but very low that I could only sit. I would sit on the bed and put a board on my thigh to practice my writing.

The first time I saw the micro-sculptures was at an art exhibition in the Shanghai Museum. It was amazing at that time that there was such a magical art. From then on, I knew that calligraphy could also be expressed in many ways. Later, I worked in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province. In 1997, I participated in the second Youth Cup National Painting and Calligraphy Competition for the first time. It was surprising that I won the second prize in this competition, which aroused my pursuit of art.

When I was young in the countryside, I liked to make all kinds of toys, such as using bicycle chains to make guns, making gyroscopes, keys, and learning girls to knit sweaters and so on. What I remember most is that when I was about five years old, I made a small bench at the cost of cutting off the big finger of my left hand. When I saw playing cards big and small, I polished a deck of cards with wood when I was six or seven years old. This is how I spent my childhood kindergarten life, because adults work in the fields during the day. At that time, my father worked in the People's Commune. Later, he was ill and hospitalized. He stayed in the hospital for four years. In my eleventh year, he went to the hospital with his brother and sister. After he came back, his father left.

My art enlightenment teacher is a teacher in charge of a class in high school. I followed him to paint figures under the eaves of a new house on weekends, which gave me a chance to learn. Along the way, there are many hardships, but the interest and pursuit of art are always imprinted in my mind. Learning and working are inseparable from practicing calligraphy. Later, I went to work in Xiaoshan, Hangzhou, and had the honor to study micro-sculpture under the door of Feng Yaozhong, a famous master of micro-sculpture. From then on, I practiced writing every day until two or three o'clock in the middle of the night. Every night, I had to practice thousands of small words to fill up the grid in an A4 paper. I remember that one winter, the winter in the south of the Yangtze River was not warm and the bitter bone in the middle of the night was cold. I insisted on going to bed in the middle of the night. After a rest, my wife told me the next morning that I had written on her lap last night, but I didn't know at all! In the meantime, under the guidance of Master Feng, he created two world records and won various national awards.

In the process of pursuing micro-sculpture art, because of its infatuation, I had no intention to run my own company. I lost money every year for several years. At last, I was in debt of more than 2 million yuan. I had no choice but to sell my 137 houses. I still devoted myself to micro-sculpture art. My life depended on the relief of my family and my parents-in-law. When I entered the bottleneck of my artistic career, I came to Shaolin Temple in 2016. On the one hand, I suffered from the pressure of life, on the other hand, I was complacent with my micro-sculpture art, but life is so unpredictable. My contact with Shaolin Temple is the sublimation of my life and art career. After a spring rain, the flowers blossomed in the scenic area of Shaolin Temple, learning, familiarizing with and accepting the temple's regular and disciplined life, rough tea and meals, the hardship of life did not knock me down, together with the monks, and closely immersed in the oracles of the great monks, learning the French of the great monks, so that my long-term thinking in the society of the Red Dust could be changed. Conversion to Sanbao makes the heart of art more tranquil. I meditate and meditate after work. Even my artistic creation seems to be meditation and meditation to outsiders. At the same time, my calligraphy and micro-sculpture art have also made progress, entering a mature period, under the combination of internal causes and external factors, my work has been widely recognized by monks and monks, and further development! In the two-year study work of Shaolin Temple, I received great support and praise from monks. I also filmed personal art career micro-films and propaganda videos for my works in Shaolin Temple, and presented my works as gifts to important guests and international politicians.

Now we are more determined about our artistic life. As the saying goes, people can't make friends with each other without addiction, and addiction is the extreme of addiction, and addiction is the initial stage of addiction, and addiction to the extreme is a realm that the secular people can't understand, leaving everything to seek a corner. It is hoped that this extreme art will flourish in the foreseeable future. A poem says:

Three thousand mustard seeds, instantaneous hundreds of years;

Ordinary pen, different day at night!

8. Anton Tscherne: If someone wants to know more about you and your art how can they contact you? Wechat? Mailbox?
