In 1990, young Hu Tianxiong arrived in the city alone, carrying the dust of the countryside. His dream was to put down roots in this unfamiliar land.

That day, passing by a small copper sign shop, he was deeply captivated by the exquisite copper lettering. He pleaded with the master to take him on as an apprentice, offering no wages but only meals. Moved by his sincerity, the master agreed. From then on, his world filled with the metallic whine of saws and the grinding of files. He discovered a passion for this craft, determined to use his hands to create signs people would truly cherish.

Two years passed, forged by sweat and dreams. His skills sharpened daily, and his entrepreneurial spirit could no longer be contained. He gathered every penny saved through years of frugality, borrowed more from his fellow villagers, and scraped together a thousand yuan. In the city's outskirts, he rented a tiny workshop barely over ten square meters. At night, he silently felt the lingering warmth of the metal he had hammered. In that moment, he knew this was the path leading to his future.

Over the past 30 years, from “Xingda” to “Pai Bang,” from Comrade Hu to Factory Director Hu, from a single file to intelligent production lines... every step has been built upon his original dream.
