"Moss flowers are as small as rice, and they also learn to open peonies."
This poem comes from Yuan Mian's "Moss" in the Qing Dynasty, a small moss flower is like every volunteer, although the individual is small but tries his best to bloom.
There are many volunteers in Yixing Zisha Circle, and Fang Caidi is one of them. Under the gentle appearance of the Jiangnan woman, there is a tenacious heart for kindness.
Helping others means helping oneself, and being happy with others
The more stories I hear, the more I will find that doing good deeds is often unconscious, and in retrospect I find these subconscious loves. Fang Caidi is no exception, looking back, she realized that she has donated pots for public welfare for more than 10 years, and she is still on the road now. Doing good does not need to be a big deed, it can also come from the trivial things of daily life, love is no size, when the shimmer becomes a torch, it can light up more hearts.
Under the organization of Lele Pottery Society, Fang Cai Di will donate clothes to poor areas every year. She said: "Everyone in the team who launched each event volunteered to donate dozens of boxes to make these clothes more useful and send some warmth to those in need.
Occasionally feedback what you get to life, you will get spiritual abundance and satiety. In 2019, Fang Caidi won the charity star, Fang Cai Di smiled that the biggest gain from doing these things is to be happy, help others is self-help, and happy others are happy for themselves.
You know what it's like
Compared with donating money and materials, Fang Cai Di advocates her own practice, doing things, and influencing others. As a volunteer, in the scorching heat of the summer sun, wearing protective clothing, standing for several hours, Fang Caidi was already drenched the moment she took it off.
Only by truly participating in epidemic prevention and control did Fang Caidi feel the difficulty of volunteers and epidemic prevention staff. Knowing that it is not easy but it has strengthened Fang Caidi's volunteering heart, even before her body is about to undergo surgery, she has always insisted on being on the front line of volunteering and doing her best to stand every shift.
An extraordinary life comes from the accumulation of ordinary days
Artistic creation is inseparable from life, and volunteer experience to see all the ways of life also makes creation more "fireworks". At the age of 16, he became acquainted with Zisha for the initial purpose of making a living, but over time it became an interest, which also gave birth to Fang Caidi's higher pursuit in Zisha art.
From the initial copying of traditional instruments, slowly add their own ideas and innovations, and then challenge themselves and break through themselves from various competitions. In 2010, he won the third prize in the handmade pottery competition, the second prize in the handmade pottery competition in 2011, and the first prize in the handmade pottery competition for four consecutive years from 2014 to 2017. In 2018, he won the title of "Jiangsu Technical Master" in the third National Ceramic Vocational Skills Competition Jiangsu Selection Competition.
(In 2015, he was awarded the Wuxi "May Day" Labor Medal, in 2016, he was named the "May Day" pacesetter of Wuxi City, and in 2017, he was named the "May Day" innovation expert of Wuxi.) ）
Every extraordinary life depends on the accumulation of ordinary days. Hard work, precipitation and perseverance make her competition road strong. Step by step, step by step, one answer sheet per session. From the finalist award to the first prize, Fang Caidi has deeply rooted in art, harvested her own life highlight moments, and also achieved today's senior arts and crafts artist.
But doing good things, don't ask about the future, artistic pursuit and volunteering are the same.
