新素养·文化意识 Look at the horse at the top. Do you think it is made of glass or jade?
Many people might say “glass” or “jade”. But believe it or not, the lifelike creation is made of sugar. It’s the work of Cui Jiuxiang, a young “sugar artist” from Qingdao.
As a boy, Cui was interested in sculpture. His father was a carpenter. In his hands, rough pieces of wood became fine works of art. Young Cui wanted to be as skilled as his father. One day, some wonderful vegetable carvings in a restaurant caught his eye. The boy decided to study food art in Suzhou. After graduation, he soon carved out a reputation（名声）for himself as a food sculptor. Later on, he was invited to Shenzhen to teach food sculpting.
While Cui enjoyed teaching, he also wanted to try something new. In 2016, he left the school and went to Shanghai. There, he found out about sugar art. He fell in love with it and spent countless hours learning the craft.
Now, as a sugar artist, Cui works in a restaurant. It usually takes Cui six to seven hours to create a piece of sugar art. He begins by boiling sugar into syrup. Then, under the special lamps, he carefully shapes the sugar. He must bear high temperatures from start to finish for each piece of his beautiful work.
★, Cui has breathed new life into it with a touch of Chinese culture. His creations have received a lot of praise. For him, however, the true sweetness lies not in the praise, but in the joy of creating something magical every day.
