master, Wang Jin.Walking thrugh the seven crimsn gates twards his wrkplace, Wang Jin still regards himself as an rdinary wrker in the Palace Museum, althugh nw he is ften stpped by admirers wanting their pht taken with him. Day in, day ut, Mr Wang and his student spend their time restring clcks dating back hundreds f years. But frquite sme time, he and his student QiHanan used t be the nly
tw peple repairing timepieces in the Palace Museum.Qing emperrs were very fnd f clcks. Therefre, in rder t pleasethem, freign envys presented these emperrs with the mst intricate and splendid timepieces. Tday, the Palace Museum has ne f the mst significant cllectins f timepieces in the wrld, mainly riginating frm Eurpe and China. With bjects ranging frm small pcket watches t clcks ver ne metre in height,
each f these requires its wn unique methd f restratin. Given the cmplexity f the wrk and the lack f necessary materials, this means that each expert can wrk n a maximum f tw large pieces a year. But, thrugh their painstaking effrts, Mr Wang and his student d mre than repair the clcks – they bring them back t life. The nly sund t break the silence in Wang Jin's wrkshp is the chiming meldy f the repaired and plished clcks. T Wang Jin it is the mst beautiful music in the
wrld. Nw, after eight mnths f endless adjustments, the time has finally cme fr Mr Wang t wind up the gigantic clcks that date back t the time f Emperr Qianlng. The intricately fashined bjects that have std still fr centuries instantly cme back t life: water flws,
bats sail, dgs bark, chickens flap their wings and a wman starts t spin. It is a truly awe-inspiring mment. It is suddenly clear that when the clck masters say that“these antiques have lives”, it is neither an
exaggeratin nr a metaphr.But, despite the cmbined wrk f several generatins f masters, it seems unlikely that the restratin f the clcks will ever be cmplete. Even if every clck in the Palace Museum were restred, there wuld still be wrk t d, because restratin wuld prbably need t begin again n the
clcks that were repaired lng ag. This is a race against time that can never be wn! Nnetheless, Mr Wang remains ptimistic abut the future f these timepieces. Fllwing
in the ftsteps f his wn teacher all thse years ag, Mr Wang has nw passed n his skills t the new members, wh will take n many f the future repairs. What's mre, inspired t fllw in his father's ftsteps, Mr Wang's sn nw has als taken up repairing antique clcks. This new generatin f artisans will nt nly help preserve traditinal skills, the innvatin they bring t the craft will als ensure that the art f clck repairing stands the test f time.
