他以自己父亲为原型制作的建筑工人雕塑在网络走红,不少网友评论“钢筋铁板,厚重沧桑。致敬父辈、致敬建设者”。
An artwork in the graduation exhibition of the Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts in Guangdong's provincial capital has gone viral in late June.

1400斤钢筋和铁板,历时3个月,他焊成了一座“重量级”雕塑——在钢筋筑成的地基之上,一个头戴安全帽的建筑工人被托起,眼神深邃、表情刚毅。
A number of domestic media organizations have reported on Huang Jianyi's life and his artwork, a giant construction worker made of more than 700 kilograms of steel bars and iron plates.

He named his 194 centimeter-by-113cm-by-230cm sculpture The Soul of Construction Workers.
He said he made the sculpture in honor of his father and all Chinese construction workers who have contributed to the country's urban development.
1400斤钢筋和铁片铸成的“表白”
To build the piece, he bought 750 kg of steel bars and iron plates from online platforms and nearby recycling centers for about 4 yuan (62 cents) per kg.

When he discovered that the bottom of his sculpture was uneven, he dismantled it and used new renderings to start again.
"Sometimes, I even stayed up from midnight to 5 or 6 am, and when the sun rose, I would sleep in my chair for a few hours," Huang said. "I think all the hard work was worth it, especially now that the sculpture is being recognized by the public."
“父亲不善言辞,但我知道他特别开心”
Born into a poor family in Leizhou city, under the administration of Zhanjiang city in western Guangdong, Huang said he deeply understood how hard life was for builders.

"As construction workers, my parents frequently traveled for work, sometimes as far as Hainan province when I was a child, and they used to return home once every few months," he said.

And after he arrived in Guangzhou to go to university, he discovered that many builders have to work in the scorching sun or in the pouring rain.

有学弟将他的创作过程分享到了网上,黄建亿家人看到后便转给了父亲。父亲给他打来电话,尽管全程都在问他忙不忙、累不累,但从父亲的言语中,黄建亿听出了欣慰与喜悦。
"My father, who is the pillar of my family, is not very good at expressing his feelings, but I know he was very happy when he saw my sculpture," Huang said.
黄建亿说:“父亲不太善于表达感情,但我知道他特别开心”。
