[Reporter Essay] Rooting

During Jinggu's interview with root carving, he met a roots master who has been a root carving for more than 30 years. His surname is Wang, his family is in Minxian, in his 50s, he is not good at words, and his hair is completely white. When I was chatting and chatting, I saw his WeChat name "Root". It felt very special, and asked curiously. He told us a story of his own.

He was poor when he was young, and his father loved bonsai. He watched his father's bonsai since he was a child, and he also liked the bonsai. One year, his sister became ill. His parents took his sister to Lanzhou to treat the disease. He left him at home. The parents thought that he would return a few days before leaving him 3 yuan. After the money was finished, he didn't see his parents come back. The family played all the food at home. Just as he couldn't hold on, suddenly, he saw the broken bonsai roots, and his brain was clever. "Why not sculpt these roots and sell it to the market, maybe he can sell some money." So he took him to take it. The roots of the tree, observing the shape, carefully carved, after a day of hard work, the root carving has become, and I am very satisfied. I quickly got the market and sold 80 yuan.

From then on, as soon as he was out of control, he did it until now. He said that he had given him a chance. He had an inextricable bond from the root, so he took the net name "root" for himself.

He and his father carefully took care of these bonsai, that is, the roots of the dead bonsai, and were reluctant to throw them down. They still regarded them as treasures. The emotions between them and the bonsai were the respect and awe of life in life. When we have a respect and awe of life, the world is full of life.
