惠山泥人娘 | The Clay Sculptor of Wuxi

第一章 | Chapter One: 惠山脚下 (At the Foot of Huishan)

无锡惠山，以泥人闻名天下。

Wuxi's Huishan is famous throughout the world for its clay figurines.

惠山古镇的一家百年作坊里，住着一位女泥人艺术家叫蒋巧云，四十九岁，身材丰满，双手能将普通的泥土变成栩栩如生的艺术品。

In a century-old workshop in Huishan Ancient Town lived a female clay figurine artist named Jiang Qiaoyun, forty-nine, with a full figure and hands that could transform ordinary clay into lifelike works of art.

"泥人的灵魂在于手温，" 她常说，"冷冰冰的机器做不出来。"

"The soul of clay figurines lies in hand warmth," she often said. "Cold machines can't create it."

第二章 | Chapter Two: 塑像师 (The Sculptor)

那年春天，一位北京的艺术收藏家来寻找传统工艺品。

That spring, an art collector from Beijing came seeking traditional crafts.

"蒋老师，" 他看着她手中正在成型的泥人，"能为我做一个特别的吗？"

"Teacher Jiang," he watched the figurine taking shape in her hands, "can you make a special one for me?"

巧云抬起头，丰满的脸上带着泥土的痕迹："什么样的？"

Qiaoyun raised her head, her full face marked with traces of clay: "What kind?"

"一个像你这样的。"

"One like you."

她笑了，眼中闪烁着光芒："那你得先了解我。"

She laughed, a gleam in her eyes: "Then you must first get to know me."

第三章 | Chapter Three: 泥与肉 (Clay and Flesh)

深夜的作坊里，她为他展示制作泥人的过程。

In the workshop late at night, she demonstrated the process of making clay figurines.

"先要揉泥，" 她将湿润的泥土在手中揉捏，"让它变得柔软。"

"First, you must knead the clay," she worked the moist clay in her hands, "to make it soft."

她将泥土涂在他手上，然后引导他触摸自己的身体。

She spread clay on his hands, then guided him to touch her body.

"感觉到了吗？" 她解开衣服，丰腴的身躯在昏暗的灯光下如同一尊待塑的雕像，"人的身体和泥土一样，需要用心塑造。"

"Can you feel it?" She undid her clothes, her full figure in the dim light like a statue waiting to be sculpted. "The human body, like clay, needs to be shaped with heart."

那一夜，他们在泥土的芬芳中交织。

That night, they intertwined in the fragrance of clay.

第四章 | Chapter Four: 成品 (The Finished Work)

一个月后，她将一对泥人交到他手中。

A month later, she placed a pair of clay figurines in his hands.

"这是我们，" 她说，泥人中的男女相拥而立。

"This is us," she said. The figurines showed a man and woman standing in embrace.

"这是我收藏过的最珍贵的艺术品。"

"This is the most precious artwork I've ever collected."

她靠在他怀里，丰满的身躯温暖而柔软："真正的艺术品，在这里。"

She leaned into his arms, her full figure warm and soft: "The real artwork is here."

在惠山的泥土中，有些造型比泥人更生动...

In the clay of Huishan, some shapes are more vivid than figurines...
