My earliest memories are of listening to my father play and teach flute, and I knew from very early on that there was nothing more I wanted to do than to be a flutist. I felt like it was my destiny. Even my given name, 笛，means flute.
My father was a flutist in the army band, and travelled often for performances. A week before my 7th birthday, he left for a trip and promised to bring me back a toy. I told him I wanted a flute, and he said that he would try. When he came back, he did bring me a “flute”, a homely little thing, basically a wooden pipe with a few holes cut out. Still, I remember being devastated when it split in half after two days of blowing into it. When I told my father I wanted a real flute like his, he just sighed. When I was older, he said, and the family could afford it. I understand it now of course; we were a dirt poor family with four children, struggling in the midst of the Chinese Cultural Revolution. Nevertheless, I remember promising myself that my children would be able to play music as they wished. Despite the inauspicious start, I did fulfill my dream of becoming a flutist. I was part of that first wave of college students accepted into the Wuhan Conservatory when it reopened, and after I graduated, I became the principal flutist of the National Ensemble Orchestra of China.
When I first came to America in 1990, I was looking for my version of the American Dream, that intoxicating belief that anyone, regardless of who they are or where they come from, can find success in a land that rewards sacrifice, risk taking, and hard work. While studying for my master’s degree in music at the University of Indiana, I took on several part time jobs and discovered a new passion for instrument repair work. I spent a lot of time working on student instruments, especially flutes, and being surprised. Sure, they were better than my first flute, but not by nearly as much as I would have thought.
Over the last thirty years, I’ve worked at or with almost all of the world’s premier professional flute making companies, whether it be Powell, Haynes, Burkart, and more. Starting from the very beginning, I learned everything there was about handmade flute-making, from padding to stringing to headjoint cutting, and even helped develop new student flute factories for some of the abovementioned companies. But still, looking at the flutes around me, I thought that there was something missing.
I kept thinking back to that promise I made myself when I was a little boy. I knew firsthand the level of care, precision, and detail that went into making handmade flutes, and found it odd that there was nothing remotely similar for student instruments. Why should this level of quality only be available to professionals? To me, a child just starting their journey in flute needs it just as much. What student will want to continue playing if their instrument can barely make a sound, or falls apart in their hands? They need a great instrument that can show them just how wonderful their sound can be, and how high their potentials truly are. So when I started my own flute factory, I made this my goal, and developed the first “handmade” student flute. It became the path towards realizing my American dream: to create a company that would produce the world’s finest flutes at prices that any student could afford.
Last year I welcomed my first grandson into the world. When I see his little hands curiously playing with keys of my flute, I remember how I felt as a young boy just discovering the joys of music and I am again reminded that my path and goals are just beginning. I want my flutes to help spread that joy to all children around the world. So when you, a student, picks up one of my flutes for the first time, I hope that it helps you experience what I’ve learned over my many years as a flutist. Your journey is just beginning, and I hope that our flutes will help push and inspire you to take the future of flute playing to new heights.
我最早的记忆之一，就是聆听父亲演奏和教授长笛。我从很小的时候便知道，自己最想做的事情，就是成为一名长笛演奏家。我觉得那仿佛就是我的命运。甚至连我的名字“笛”，本身就有“长笛”的意思。
我的父亲是军乐队中的长笛演奏员，经常外出演出。在我七岁生日前一周，他又要出门演出，并答应回来时会给我带一件玩具。我告诉他，我想要一支长笛，他说会尽力而为。后来，他真的带回来了一支“长笛”——那其实只是一个朴素的小东西，基本上就是一根木管，上面开了几个孔而已。即便如此，当它在我吹了两天之后裂成两半时，我仍然感到非常难过。
当我告诉父亲，我想拥有一支像他那样真正的长笛时，他只是叹了口气。他说，要等我再大一些，而且家里也必须负担得起才行。如今我当然能够理解，当时我们一家生活十分贫困。尽管如此，我仍然记得自己当时暗自下定决心：将来我的孩子，一定能够自由地学习和演奏音乐。
虽然起点并不顺利，但我最终还是实现了成为长笛演奏家的梦想。武汉音乐学院重新开放招生后，我成为首批入校的大学生，毕业后担任湖南广播电视艺术团，中央民族歌舞团管弦乐队长笛首席。
1990年，我第一次来到美国时，开始追寻属于自己的“美国梦“。那是一种令人着迷的信念：无论一个人是谁、来自哪里，只要愿意付出牺牲、承担风险并努力工作，就能够在这片土地上获得成功。
在印第安纳大学（Indiana University）攻读音乐硕士学位期间，我做过几份兼职工作，并逐渐发现了自己对乐器维修工作的热爱。我花了大量时间维修学生用乐器，尤其是长笛，而这也让我感到惊讶。诚然，它们比我的第一支长笛要好得多，但并没有好到我原本以为的程度。
在过去三十年里，我曾在世界上几乎所有顶尖专业长笛制造公司工作，或与其合作，其中包括鲍威尔（Powell）、海恩斯（Haynes）、伯卡特（Burkart）等品牌。从最基础的工序开始，我学习了手工长笛制作的各个方面，包括装垫、穿轴、吹口管切削等工艺，也曾协助上述部分公司建立新的学生长笛工厂。
然而，看着身边的长笛，我始终觉得仍然缺少了一些什么。
我不断想起自己小时候许下的那个承诺。我亲身了解制作手工长笛所需要投入的细心、精准与对细节的关注，因此我一直觉得奇怪：为什么学生用长笛却几乎从未享受到同样的品质标准？为什么只有专业演奏家才能拥有这样的质量？
在我看来，一个刚刚开始学习长笛的孩子，同样需要这样的乐器。如果一支乐器几乎无法发声，或者轻易就在学生手中损坏，那么又有多少孩子会愿意继续学习下去呢？他们需要的是一支优秀的长笛，让他们能够真正感受到自己的声音可以有多么美妙，以及自身所拥有的潜力究竟能够达到怎样的高度。
因此，当我创办自己的长笛工厂时，我便将这件事作为目标，并开发出了第一支手工级学生长笛。这也成为我实现美国梦的道路：建立世界最好的学生长笛。
去年，我迎来了自己的第一个孙子。当我看到他用小手好奇地摆弄我长笛上的按键时，我又想起了自己小时候第一次发现音乐乐趣时的感受，也再次提醒自己：我的道路与目标，其实才刚刚开始。
我希望自己的长笛，能够帮助把这种快乐传递给世界各地的孩子。因此，当你刚踏入长笛领域，第一次拿起我的长笛时，我希望它能够帮助你感受到，我在多年长笛演奏生涯中所领悟到的一切。你的旅程才刚刚开始，而我也希望，赵笛长笛能够帮助推动并激励你，将未来的长笛演奏带向新的高度。
