When walking to Dayanghu Village, Dahuangji Town, Mudan District, I heard the melodious sound of the piano echoing in the air. This is Du Suli's "qin factory" in Dayanghu Village, Dahuangji Town, Mudan District.

Nine years ago, Du Suli was still a wood panel businessman, but now he is a "qin expert".

Same plank, different melody

More than 20 years ago, Du Suli, who has a certain woodworking foundation, like many people in the village, participated in the local leading industry - panel production. The jigsaw puzzle is to split the log into several plates, and then glue it into a whole board. This kind of board has a wide range of uses. This type of work does not have high technical content, as long as you are patient and willing to endure hardships, it is the main way for the local party committee and government to encourage people to increase their income. In this way, Du Suli has been working for 20 years and has accumulated a little savings.

Gradually, Du Suli felt more and more that it was a pity that the woodworking skills he possessed were only used on sticky boards, just like embroidering on a broken sack. He also thought about making bellows, looms, seedlings and other high-end types of woodworking in the field, but these objects have almost no market now.

Stroking the jigsaw board he made by himself, the board surface is smooth and the annual rings are distinct, Du Suli thought, if the modern woodworking furniture is seamed, planed and polished, it will be better than the traditional craftsmanship. With such thoughts, Du Suli became more and more restless.

In 2013, Du Suli learned that making pianos, piano accessories, and piano furniture is not only a high-end job in the woodworking field, but also a lucrative industry. Du Suli threw himself into the piano industry with confidence, and invited an old craftsman in the industry to take him for a year. In 2014, after Du Suli's first batch of piano stands was launched, it was a success.

father and son soldier

In 2014, Du Suli recruited his son Du Lumeng, who was working in Shanghai, and obtained a business license. He applied to the village to lease a piece of land for the piano industry, and built a 300-square-meter production workshop for piano products. The father and son also introduced modern woodworking tools such as large hydraulic presses, dryers, desktop chainsaws, engraving machines, and roasting guns, and fought with high spirits on the road to hard work.

Du Suli is responsible for raw material procurement, material selection, cutting, palm ruler, etc. The son is responsible for large-scale equipment operation, roasting and online information collection. The father and son have a clear division of labor and work together.

"The stools used by the people who play the piano are very particular. They must be both elegant and strong, and there should be no deviation." Du Suli said that if the goods are returned to foreign countries, it will be a big problem.

In addition to first-line production, his son Du Lumont also applied for an e-commerce platform and took up online sales. Products are sold at home and abroad, and more than half of the customers are from the international market. Students from Algeria, Brazil, the United States, Japan, Taiwan and other regions are their important intermediaries.

Daughter-in-law becomes "musketeer"

In 2015, his son got married, and his daughter-in-law Liu Xuewen was arranged to be a "musketeer" on the third day of her visit.

Most of the piano products are made of solid wood, and the most important part that affects the fidelity of the antique is firework.

Their main material is paulownia wood, which is soft and white, but the annual rings are not very clear, and no matter how good the clear paint is, it is unable to make its natural stripes appear.

The growth rings on the wooden boards are the isolated stripes of the tree's growth years. The texture is soft and flammable. It will turn black when touched by fire, and the surrounding area will become sauce-colored. The products made in this way look like old objects that have been treasured for many years. This process seems to be very cautious, but it is even more difficult to do. If the heat is too light, it will not reach the color. If the heat is too heavy, it will burn or ignite an open flame. In the blink of an eye, Liu Xuewen understood this, so every time she operated it, she was cautious.

Guqin plays a new country rhyme

Du Suli specializes in qin series products and sells 5 to 10 sets of guqin accessories and guqin furniture every day, with an annual income of 300,000 to 500,000 yuan. He said that the products currently produced are mainly piano accessories and furniture, and the production of pianos is now being planned.

Du Suli transformed traditional craftsmanship into modern craftsmanship with wisdom, realized his dream and pursued a better life in the future. He encouraged his daughter-in-law to learn to play the guqin in her spare time. One is to nourish life, and the other is to make a better life. understand the piano.

Sometimes when they are interested, they will put the piano stand next to the Lunan high-speed railway on the Dongyu River in front of the village. The sound of the piano ripples on the river, and the birds flap their wings and wrap the notes. The local singer "Sister Nightingale" came and sang "From Well-off to Prosperity" and "High-speed Rail Passing Through Our Hometown" with Qin, "A new journey is ahead, we have the strength to make contributions to the new era, hey, great changes inspire us, from From a well-off to a prosperous and strong”.
