    Studying Hard In the  Earliest Ten Years 
         When Shang Tianming was an apprentice in the factory, he has  learned a lot there. His teacher not only taught him how to make works of black  pottery but also taught him how to behave. When we interview him, he tells us  that the making of works of black pottery is the same as behaving as a person. We  should make plan beforehand, and try our best to do it. As long as we have  tried, we can get what we want. All of us are deeply convinced by him. The  black pottery is not only a kind of art, but also a kind of thinking.  
          
When he was working in the factory, he was not good at his  work. However, he did not give up and had the confidence of himself and  gradually his technology has been improved. In a period of time, the factory  was going bankcrupt. It was just his works of black pottery that saved his  factory from the trouble. An enterprise wanted to invest money to his factory. The  leader of his factory wanted to train some young talents and send them to learn  the technology in Xi’an,  of whom Mr. Shang Tianming was the first to learn.  
         During that period in Xi’an, Shang Tianming worked so hard that  sometimes he forgetted to have dinners. After his learning, he went back to his  factory and has been awarded for six times.
