Chi Bao and his passion for collecting ceramics

Chi Bao became interested in collecting ceramic antiques through his participation in the program Understanding the Heart - carrying the message of finding the most fundamental things of human beings, from discovering happiness, finding where true joy lies. Realizing that learning about ceramics brings him harmony with what he is doing, Chi Bao gradually developed a love for it and started this journey. "Looking at these antiques, I feel very emotional, I hope many people will feel the same way," he expressed.

“For many people, when they collect a lot, they like it, and if they collect too little, they don’t care much. But I will collect those people’s items. There are items that they have kept for nearly 20-30 years. I treasure almost all of the artifacts and took the trouble to bring them back. Among them, Phung Nguyen culture left me with the most special feelings,” Chi Bao confided.
