当我开始进入牙雕专题的采访状态时,发现很难将那些被博物馆珍之又珍的国宝牙雕和牙雕匠人直接联系起来。首先,找到北京象牙厂就颇费周章,尽管象牙厂所在的北官园胡同属于花市,而花市一带曾经是老北京工艺美术作坊扎堆儿的地方。我拿着地图找了半天越来越迷糊,只好在大方向离象牙厂不远的地方逮到人就问。周围的人来来往往,50岁以下的人几乎连想都不想就告诉我不知道。最后我只好打电话向象牙厂的肖广义厂长求救,他二话不说就出来接我,等我们到了那,发现它居然离我到处问路的地方只差一条街的距离! When I started my interview with the Tuscan project, I found it very hard to connect directly with the Tuscan and Tuscan traders who were treasured by the museum. First of all, finding an ivory factory in Beijing was a waste of time, although the Hutong area of ​​the ivory factory belonged to the flower market, while the flower market was once the place where the old Beijing arts and crafts workshops got together. I took the map for a long time more and more confused, but in the general direction not far from the ivory factory caught people asked. People coming and going around, people under 50 almost do not even want to tell me do not know. Finally, I had to call to the ivory factory Shaw Kwong-yi, director of help, he would go out and pick me up with each other, so that we arrived there and found it actually away from wherever I went only a short distance away from the street!
