Wang Fuxi: obsessed with mechanical collection for 20 years

Walk into Wang Fuxi's factory yard, quiet and tidy. In addition to the production workshop, both the office and the reception room, the hall and the exhibition room are filled with old and various industrial machinery and mechanical products. The largest of these machines is nearly two meters high. The smallest is a miniature machine tool that is only one foot wide and is used to make watch parts.

Wang Fuxi has been collecting machinery for more than 20 years. Because his father had been dealing with machinery for a lifetime, Wang Fuxi had been obsessed with elaborate or clumsy machines since he started in middle school. Wang Fuxi said: “I remember when I was collecting the first machine, I was only 17 years old. At that time, my family did not even know. At that time, I found a German-made lathe from a master teacher. When that lathe was pulled into my home, I Excited for several days."

Most of the various machines Wang Feixi has collected were manufactured around the 1950s. They are mainly made of more than 200 mechanical products from Germany, the United States, Switzerland, the Czech Republic, Japan, and Italy.

Asked the story of the collection, Wang Fuxi introduced: There is an old machine tool worker who was nearly eighty years old. When the factory machinery was replaced by new ones, he collected three grinding machines. One of the German-made hob grinders was produced in 1960. The elderly care about these grinders. After Wang Fuxi was informed, I did not know how many errands she wanted to collect, but the elderly could not agree. Later, the old man was gone. The old man's son collected these grinders. Wang Fuxi went on again and again to find the old man's son. This happened to be the case when the house where the grinder was placed was stopped for rent. The old man's son was desperation to consider the transfer. After a year of negotiation, Wang Fuxi saw the old man's son sneak away and shed tears when Wang Fuxi ran to pull the machine. Before leaving, the old man's son kept Wang Fuxi to collect for him. For this collection, Wang Fuxi said that he ran for four or five years.

There is also an old shoemaker, a Manchu. When he was young, he sew leather shoes for a long time. At home, there was a ancestral three-generation sewing machine for nearly two hundred years. Later, public-private partnerships were conducted. The old man went to a factory in Xiaobailou. After retirement, the beloved sewing machine always stays with him, no matter how life is displaced. In the blink of an eye, the old man looks at himself as if he is a year old. After only a hundred years, the only sewing machine that did not give up was the sewing machine. Then he looked around and tried to find a suitable place for the sewing machine. Later, he saw the story of Wang Fuxi's collection of machinery from the newspaper and became famous. As a result, Wang Fuxi's pavilion was found on the bus for a long time because he did not know the road. Finally, when I saw the collection of Wang Fuxi’s full house, especially when I saw more than 70 large and small sewing machines collected by Wang Fuxi over the years, the old man smiled gratifiedly because the old man felt that it would be appropriate to put his sewing machine here. There are hundreds of thousands of large-scale machinery, and there are dozens of "sisters" products underneath, so that among them, it is not a "grievance" of this sewing machine in any case! In this way, the old man did not give his gift to Wang Fuxi. The sons and daughters of the old people knew that they did not agree, and they thought that they could not donate so vainly. If they got the market, maybe they could sell a good price, but the old people would stick to their opinions.

In several exhibition rooms inside Wang Fuxi's factory, all kinds of machinery are placed in order. Each of the collections here has some experience. Each piece of machinery Wang Fuxi can tell a moving story. Wang Fuxi said that these collections instilled him with 20 years of hard work, and that his persistent attachment to collection machinery became even fiercer. He pointed to three machines on the east wall of the office and asked me: "Do you know what this is for?" I shook my head. He said, "You saw the movie at Toray Cinema. The three machines were the projectors of that year because Digital 3D is now being replaced, so these three projectors were specially presented to me by the District Culture and Development Bureau.” I asked him, to what extent is your collection now in this field? Wang Fuxi said: “Now in the whole country, there are not many collectors, but there are many foreigners! From the point of view of my collection, more than 80% of domestic collections have been received.”

With the rapid development of science and technology, these purely mechanical things are becoming rarer and rarer, so it is a very meaningful thing to save them! When talking about the future of his collections, Wang Fuxi’s heart was full of infinite embarrassment. He said: “We purchased a new museum site in the Dongli District Aviation Business District. At that time, the exhibition hall will use these machines from an industrial and cultural point of view. The collection is displayed before the world
