Putting aside his aspirations for college, Huang completely threw himself into the world of jade. Apart from carving the various pendants, Buddhist statues and animals that were on the factory's order list, after work he would take unwanted scraps and carve on them whatever caught his fancy. Thus began his life with jade.
他放棄了所有學生夢寐以求的大學生活，放棄了年輕人所愛的娛樂，完完全全地沈浸在翠玉天地中，從雕刻老闆接單回來指定的墜飾、佛像、動物等小飾品，到下班後撿切割下來的邊料、廢料自己隨意雕刻，開始了他以玉石創作的半生。
