VLOG in Epidemic Situation (III): Constant Love

A sudden epidemic has disrupted everyone's pace. It gives us enough time to return to our original life, to think about the meaning of life, to review our original intentions, to talk to our souls and to enjoy the most precious scenery around us.

We contacted eight Lexus owners, including photographers, entrepreneurs, stay-at-home mothers and car refurbishers. They went to Beijing, Nanjing, Changzhou and even Sydney. In this special period, everyone picked up a camera and recorded their ordinary scenery.

In the third issue of Vlog, I will share with you the daily life of an old car refurbisher and many Lexus owners-Yang.

Yang, born in 1980s, is in the prime of life, and started an automobile maintenance center in partnership with friends. In 20 19, I just moved to a bigger factory building, which was full of cars that were disassembled and maintained to varying degrees. He often looks at these cars and looks forward to their new look after renovation and maintenance. His eyes are full of expectation.

The first time I met Yang unexpectedly, a tweet shared by a friend on the official WeChat account recorded in detail the process of restoring a Lexus LS600hL as new, with nearly 10,000 words, which permeated his love for repairing old cars. Hundreds of pictures, each of which is the appearance of his beloved old car. This official WeChat account is called "900,000 km feather". From then on, we used to call him feather.

After dealing with old cars for many years, Feather summed up her experience in luxury brands. They all have unique characteristics. Some will give you a strong sensory impact when you meet for the first time, while others will show luxury and gentleness at all design levels. Lexus obviously belongs to the latter

Feather said, because I am in the automobile aftermarket industry, I can clearly understand the after-sales situation of various automobile brands. Under this premise, he will still drive every Lexus he owns to the dealership for maintenance and testing on time. Although this basic maintenance worker is not difficult for him and his team, he thinks that the maintenance price and the service after warranty are relatively high.

Different from other repair shops, Feather has to face the luxury flagship car with the age of 10- 15. These car owners, both then and now, have the determination and ability to spend a lot of money, but with the long-term use, these once beautiful luxury cars will inevitably leave the mark of struggle with the owners. Car owners put "old friends" in the hands of feathers, mostly in the hope that these old ministers of humerus can restore their original appearance. And this heavy trust in feathers is likely to come from the full trust that feathers give when they see their deep love for classic cars and love them as much as their own cars.

Day after day, Feather undertakes a lot of old car repair work, such complicated and trivial processes as disassembly, renovation and assembly, and then writes these detailed processes into articles to share with more like-minded people. For him, this is his ordinary scenery.

If it weren't for this epidemic, we might soon see a new SC430 that he personally maintained, that is, his successor LS? A Lexus classic car that started again after 600hL. Like most people, in order to avoid the adverse effects on vehicles caused by long-term suspension during the epidemic, Feather occasionally drives around and turns on the stereo. The familiar scenery outside the window is constantly passing by, and the uneasy heart affected by the epidemic will gradually calm down. Then go home and update the official WeChat account, record the previous maintenance experience and review the time with the old car.

It is true that as a craftsman who repairs old cars, it is one thing to be full of feelings and love, but more importantly, it is necessary to bravely let go. After so many years of maintenance experience, Yu has faced failure, disappointment, annoyance and confusion. But in the face of what you really love, you must persist, but you can stand up and move on no matter how you fall. As long as there is light in your heart, the road is ahead. No matter how long the night is, the day will come.
