This time, I will take a closer look at the amazing life of a jade wholesaler that I have been doing business with for many years.
His warehouse is lined with several tons of rough jade.
However, behind the scenes, there was a story hidden that was unimaginable.

He is from a small village in China.
He had a girlfriend who was promised to marry him, but there were no jobs in the village that could earn him enough money.
So he makes a decision.
I promised to go to Hong Kong, earn some money, create a wedding fund, and come back to my village.
It was more than 50 years ago that I left my village with three friends.

At that time, traveling from China to Hong Kong was strictly prohibited.
They aimed for the narrowest point of the river, which marks the border between China and Hong Kong, and jumped into the river under cover of darkness on a new moon at midnight.

To go to Hong Kong.

However, unexpected difficulties stand in front of them.
He was found by security forces and shot.
Two of the three people collapsed on the spot.

He was the only one who barely survived.
He risked his life to cross the river and reach Hong Kong.

After working several jobs in Hong Kong, he became an apprentice to a jade worker.
I worked non-stop for 20 hours every day to hone my skills.
Three years later, he finally became independent.

He returned to China from Hong Kong again to pick up his girlfriend from his hometown.
Then, he brought her safely to Hong Kong and married her.
We achieved great success as a manufacturer and wholesaler of jade.

It is very difficult to judge the condition of jade from the surface, and only intuition and experience can help you find a good one.
However, he has risked his life to go through the chaos, and with a special feeling, he finds good jade rough one after another.became a millionaire。

He buys raw jade from Myanmar, but he has an eye that no one else can imitate.
His success was not due to mere luck, but to his strong will and special sensibilities cultivated through the experience of risking his life.
