"Before I started working there I didn't even know what lacquer was," recalls Chen, who is now 84. "I became a student of Mr. Yamanaga because my father put great stock in the adage 'giving your son a trade is better than giving him 1000 pieces of gold.'"
「當時我連漆器是什麼也不知道，因為父親認為『賜子千金，不如教子一藝』，於是當起山中先生的學徒」，今年已經八十四歲的陳火慶與漆結緣全屬偶然。
