"In the beginning, it was for livelihood, but it later became a part of life and a profession I longed for. As long as I can move, I will persist, promoting it widely and contributing to Jingdezhen's global outreach," he says.

His son, Hu Haitao, who follows in his father's footsteps, adds that Jingdezhen ceramics are highly respected in the international market due to their unique Chinese elements and profound cultural heritage. He is committed to transforming national culture into an international artistic language and enhancing porcelain-making efficiency through scientific and technological advancements to achieve innovative inheritance.

In recent years, Jingdezhen has actively promoted the transformation and upgrading of the ceramic industry, attracting more young artists and designers to join the trade, injecting new vitality into Jingdezhen ceramics.
