Character experience, Cui Lei.

As the No.1 figure of "China Jade Carving Young Artist", this Tianjin man from the north gave Hetian jade a brand-new life with his unique artistic vision. At a young age, he won Hundred Flowers Award, Tiangong Award, Shen Gong Award and other industry gold medals. Because he almost won the national arts and crafts awards, he was called the most dynamic jade carving "master". It is natural for Cui Lei to engage in jade carving. Cui Lei's parents and brother are both engaged in art work, and he has been interested in art since he was a child. 1992 After graduating from Tianjin Institute of Arts and Crafts, he entered Tianjin Special Craft Factory to work on jade carving. A year later, he came to Shanghai to develop, and fortunately took refuge in Hong Xinhua's door. Cui Lei was fascinated by the master's realistic thoughts and skills, and he was deeply loved by the master because of his strong understanding ability. Under the guidance of Hong Xinhua, Cui Lei's ability has been continuously improved and gradually formed his own artistic style.

From "Little Tianjin White Jade Studio" to today's "Ivy Jade House", Cui Lei's name has gradually become famous in the jade carving industry in Shanghai. His works learn from others in terms of materials, arts, themes, meanings, etc., and draw lessons from various art forms at home and abroad, which are often unique and unexpected. Especially in the original "shape breaking card", combined with deep relief and high relief, through carving skills, a bold attempt was made. His representative work "Guan" won the gold medal of China jade carving "Hundred Flowers Award" in 2008, and his creative idea originated from the traditional shadow play and puppet image in Taiwan Province Province. Cui Lei revealed in the program that this work suffered a lot in the early stage of creation, and even had an argument with the creative team. The work boldly adopts straight-line angular modeling, which breaks the traditional norms in both image and creative techniques and has been unanimously recognized and praised by the guests of the art troupe. The work Taiyi tells an intriguing story full of philosophy of life.

Cui Lei, a sculptor who absolutely pursues innovation. He once said that "the real master is the one who dares to carve bricks and tiles", which caused an uproar at that time and made many people think that he was very inflammatory and had a too loud tone. Cui Lei felt helpless that everyone misunderstood his meaning, and at the same time resolutely countered false rumors and doubts.
