Walking into this industrial cultural and creative park, you won't feel that it is still an outdoor product production factory because of the eyeful of fashionable wall paintings, various sculptures and camping experiences, the interweaving of tradition and modernity, and the resonance of antiquity and fashion. However, what attracts the most attention is the 80,000-odd pieces collected by entrepreneur Hu Changchun over the years, each of which is well known.
Hu Changchun, head of 123 Industrial Park Business Management (Zhongshan) Co., Ltd., said: "I like to collect some industrial machines that are decades or even a hundred years old to build our future industrial tourism museum. Like this machine, it should be a shoe-making machine made in Germany around 1850. This sewing machine contains aesthetic and mechanical things. My friends abroad gave me this machine, hoping to give more people a better understanding of the past. "
Ten years ago, Hu Changchun began to consciously collect all kinds of things related to industry. At first, it started with sewing machines related to its outdoor products, which could not be put in an exhibition hall. Each sewing machine had its own creation story. Later, the collection of old books related to industry was also stored in a large stack, covering industry, history, humanities and education, with an annual investment of nearly 500 thousand yuan.
Hu Changchun, the person in charge of 123 Industrial Park Business Management (Zhongshan) Co., Ltd., said: "This room is used by me to temporarily collect my various books, mainly the materials on the development of China's industry, agriculture and finance in the past one or two hundred years. There should be 50,000 copies like this. I feel that I can do something with my heart. "
Hu Changchun said, if you don't know the past, it will be difficult to look into the future better. The purpose of collecting many books, publications and industrial machinery collections from the last century is to build a comprehensive industrial cultural and creative industrial park in his mind, and to form an innovative industrial ecology integrating "production, research, marketing and tourism" on the basis of his own manufacturing enterprises, and attract more like-minded people to lead enterprises to a higher-quality development path. Although the industrial park is still being gradually improved and not officially opened to tourists, it is getting closer and closer to his dream.
Hu Changchun, head of 123 Gongchuang Park Business Management (Zhongshan) Co., Ltd.: "At the beginning, even my colleagues in the company would laugh behind their backs, but I think it is very important to persist. Dare to be the first in the world, and dare to innovate in everything. There are 30,000 square meters here, and we can't let go of our dreams. We may achieve more than 300,000 square meters in the next step. This kind of market industry ecology with intelligent manufacturing plus cultural tourism, popular science education and entertainment and recreation, its sustainable development and prospects are still very impressive.
