He Has Opened His Own Shop And Has Been A Professional Shoe Maker For 40 Years.

If there is no sign at the door, no one will think of the stubborn craftsman spirit hidden in this old building.

The name of the owner of the ship is Dan Xingyuan. He is straight in the sixty and has a deep voice. He has a baritone sensation.

He has been making shoes for more than 40 years since he made the first pair of shoes. He never ceased to love hand-made shoes.

Master Dan Xingyuan studied handwork in junior high school. At that time, there were fewer classes and more farm workers in the school, so he learned skills with his neighbors.

He did a lot of things, from clothes to trousers.

Relatively speaking, the process of making shoes is more complicated, so it is done less.

The instructor, who was the teacher in charge of making clothes, worked at the production team in lanli, and made clothes for neighbors in obscurity.

Now, single master is still with great respect and gratitude. He will still find time to visit the enlightenment teacher.

At first, a single master made clothes for free. Later he saw someone playing accordion and pulling erhu, which made him like music and wanted to own his own musical instrument.

However, poverty became the biggest obstacle for a single master. He began to make some money with what he had made, and subsidize himself to buy musical instruments and ask teachers.

Later he liked composing music, but composing was not the same as two instruments.

He sold his stuff to his colleagues. At last, he bought a piano, two violins, a guitar, an electric bass, two Sax, and played and played. The scale was enough to open a small concert.

After two years of manual production, the single teacher made the first pair of shoes for himself. In those days, buying a pair of shoes like that would take half a month's salary.

Single teacher is very precious, these shoes are carefully worn by themselves, but they will also be worn when students take pictures and visit parks.

After graduating from junior high school, Shifu worked in a tea import and export company.

At the end of the 80s, the tide of travelling abroad prevailed. The single teacher came to Japan in the persuasion of a friend, worked in a shop that specializes in riding boots, studied Japanese every morning, worked in the afternoon, and stayed there for two years.

In the past two years, he has mainly studied the production of boots, "not the boots of women's high boots, but the boots of modern Olympic equestrian events."

The single master emphasized it very much.

At that time, Japan was in a period of rapid economic development. The single master not only gained ten times of domestic income, but also gained more experience in making shoes.

In his view, shoes do not have any special skills, sharp eyed and diligent plus questioning is the best way. Even if you have made shoes for more than forty years, you will also encounter difficulties.

In 90s, a single master returned home and followed a friend to a shop in Chongqing South Road, specializing in riding boots and selling back to Japan.

In 2006, when a single master accidentally walked through Shaoxing Road, he found that it was quiet, comfortable and rich in culture. He immediately wanted to find a place to open his own hand-made shoe store.

Most bookstores in Shaoxing are bookstores, audio-visual shops and galleries. However, business is not so good. Most of them have gone to the shops, so the single master chose a place near the junction and opened his own ship.

The name "ship come" is a single teacher's friend's intention. There are three meanings, very exquisite.

First, in Shanghai dialect, the pronunciation of "single" and "ship" is similar, the two is

The shape is like a ship, and the three is the "boat" homophonic "spread", which is a good wish for business and craft.

The logo of the shop was designed by a Japanese designer.

As the saying goes, "people are like their names", this shop is like a child of a single master.

After opening their own shop, the single master mainly made boots and men's business shoes.

The old Japanese boot boots businessmen were too old to work, and the business of their boots exports basically stopped. But fortunately, domestic equestrian sports are booming, and other saddle makers are making their boots.

The Shanghai Equestrian Team is a customer of a single master. Since its establishment, a large part of the boot has been ordered by a single master. He often goes to the team to observe and train and become good friends with many people.

At the Eleventh National Games, the Shanghai Equestrian Team won three championships, which made the master very happy. "I think the athletes are proud to wear their own riding boots to win the championship."

Many of the single masters are old Keller, who used to dominate the racecourse when they were young. Now they will come over and make some pairs of riding boots.

There are many old friends who love music to play the guitar in the shop or to play the violin for a while when they customize their shoes.

Summer is a slack season for business in the summer. People are less likely to wear leather shoes, and the demand is small. Therefore, single masters will relax in summer, travel abroad and visit overseas centenary stores.

Although the single teacher is more than a year old, he is not backward at all. He will pay attention to various exhibitions and publicity of foreign handmade brands in Shanghai through the Internet.

Last summer, he went to New York to visit his family and went to see the equestrian sport and harness Market in the United States.

"Doing this business is relatively stable, and there are few ups and downs. Artisans should live in peace."

A single master can see business well and peace is enough.

Single master said he did "private food", every customer wanted me to come to the store, he himself measured and compared before he could start making, making shoes that really belonged only to one person.

"I can make about three hundred to five hundred pairs of shoes a year, but never do the same two pairs."

From the United Kingdom, every product has its own story and soul.

After the general production of industrialization, while improving production efficiency, they deprived them of feelings that were injected into commodities. However, there were still a group of craftsmen with persistent obsession.

In recent years, the manual customization of "minority" has attracted more and more attention.

The shops of single masters are often interviewed by various media. There are newspaper clippings posted on the walls of the shops, and some students come here to do social surveys.

In November last year, CCTV's documentary "on China" put one of Shanghai's filming locations in the shop of a single master.

This year's hit show "good sir" is also here.

"The happiest thing to be a craftsman is to make things acceptable to the guests, and the media publicity is also a great honor for me."

Although the prices of raw materials and rent are rising, but the master insist not to increase the price, "I come here are old friends, rising prices hurt feelings."

Referring to the plan for the future, single master said, "all things are closely related". He does not expect his son to inherit his craft or receive an apprentice. "If an industry has vitality, it will naturally inherit."

Single master later sent several photos, he is visiting an old record shop in Manhattan, the room full of records arranged in alphabetical order, it has been standing there for eighty or ninety years.
