The Founder's Vision
Mr. Guo Yaoting, the founder of Ostrich Ink, established the first Chengwen Xin Stationery Store on the banks of the Haihe River in Tianjin with a profound vision: to use ink as a cultural tool to educate and enlighten the Chinese people.
During the War of Resistance Against Japan, when China was lagging behind in science and industry, Mr. Guo Yaoting wrote:
"I hope to use the ink of cultural tools to cultivate and irrigate, making it a beautiful garden. The ostrich, accustomed to running and trekking in the desert, has an outstanding spirit of hard work and endurance, and can undertake this arduous mission."
This philosophy became the foundation of Ostrich Ink – combining traditional craftsmanship with relentless innovation.
