According to Luohe Network Information:

He gave up the opportunity to go to the big city to fight, and returned to his hometown after graduating from college; he regained the traditional wooden comb making craft of his ancestors, achieved himself, and benefited his neighbors; he was an industry elite who dared to innovate and pursue progress, and he was also the inheritor of the traditional culture who made a "big article" of a "small wooden comb", he was Chen Qingwei.

Chen Qingwei, 38 years old this year, is a native of Chen Village, Linying County' oil mill, and his ancestors had a carpentry job. Because of his strong interest in traditional culture, after graduating from university more than a decade ago, he was determined to return to the traditional wooden comb making craft of his ancestors and carry forward this business. Chen Qingwei said: "I also like traditional culture, just the first job I just touched was also a wooden comb, after contact, I found that I also like the industry of wooden comb." ”

Due to his diligence, Chen Qingwei quickly mastered the process of making wooden combs, and soon after, he tried to create his own wooden comb factory, but was soon hit. "After a short time, I lost money and went out of business. Why? Because I found that first of all, I did not have enough experience, and the other was the lack of management. ”

In addition to lack of experience and improper management, Chen Qingwei also found that the cost of employment and the high rent of the factory were also the main reasons for the failure of this venture, after several twists and turns, Chen Qingwei returned to his hometown, used the family house, hired the idle labor force in the village, re-created the wooden comb factory, named Linying County Yixin Handicraft Factory. Chen Qingwei: "Later, after selecting the factory to the countryside, I found that this decision was correct, the quality of the product and the management of the enterprise were rapidly improved, the products were getting better and better, the burden and other expenses of the enterprise were relatively low, and the enterprise survived in this way." ”

Chen Qingwei knows that in order for enterprises to survive and develop, they must have excellent quality products. He has gone to Shandong, Sichuan and other major production areas of wooden combs to investigate, found that CNC carving has been successfully applied to furniture production, he tried to combine wooden comb production and CNC carving, thereby greatly improving labor efficiency and reducing production costs. Chen Qingwei: "The comb produced is not only exquisite, but also the added value of the product is relatively high, and the product is in short supply after it is put on the market." ”

In order to carry forward the traditional wooden comb making process, Chen Qingwei also founded the first wooden comb technology transmission institute in Henan Province at his own expense, produced 6 sets of traditional tools, taught skills to dozens of combing enthusiasts free of charge, and made outstanding contributions to the excavation, inheritance and innovation of the city's intangible cultural heritage projects.

With the development of Yixin Handicraft Factory, Chen Qingwei not only solved the employment problem of more than 20 local people, but also set up jobs for poor households to help them get rid of poverty and become rich. Every year during the wheat harvest and the Spring Festival, Chen Qingwei also brings gifts to visit the poor people in the village. In recent years, Yixin Handicraft Factory has been recognized as "Representative Project of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Henan Province", "Henan Provincial Cultural Industry Demonstration Base", "Luohe City Labor Model Innovation Studio", "Luohe City Skill Master Studio", "Linying County Poverty Alleviation Base" and "Linying County Qiao Daughter-in-law Project Demonstration Base".

Chen Qingwei said: "The trademark registered by our factory is one heart, why use one heart, that is, to think of doing a good job of the wooden comb, designing more products wholeheartedly, and wholeheartedly doing the best job of the comb, especially the carving comb, I want to make it the first in the country." ”
