At home to help her mother pack up and saw a copper "shoehorn", because of the long time no use, the edge has been pan-green, but engraved on top of the pattern is still clearly visible, but also signed a "Su Zhu Xiangxing made" Words. I checked the information, "Zhu Xiangxing" is a craftsman in the late Qing period. That said, this "shoehorn" left by her grandmother has been a hundred years old. I am no stranger to this shoehorn. At that time, except for summer and rainy day, we all wore handmade shoes made by ourselves. The new cloth shoes will be more through the loose, in order to wear later, "with the foot," so the size of the new shoes should not be large, no shoe is difficult to wear. The front of the shoehorn is tongue-shaped, slightly valgus, wear shoes, the front into the heel inside, and then forced to put on the shoes to wear a foot. Shoehorn in my memory is always bright. Our little children grow faster and faster, often with new shoes that have just been put on in spring, too small to fall in the autumn. New Year's time, each pair of new cotton shoes, but also every family have to prepare. In my mind, my mother and grandma all year round in the "Bonsai", satisfied with the soles. At that time, neighbors often came to borrow shoes from my house, saying that the quality of my home shoehorn is good and can be used for a few lives. I do not remember when the shoe was started to be shelved, and in the end all buy shoes to wear, and no longer need shoes. My parents' home also moved into the city from the countryside, and changed houses several times. It was bigger and better than ever. Many items in the house were discarded, but the shoehorn was never discarded. Erase the verdigris, shoehorn and it glowed its original light. I know this shoehorn is not worth the antiques, but for my house it is a very worthy collection of items, it is after years of stroking, documenting generation after generation of life and love continuation.
