197865438+In February, Xie Shaohe graduated from Zhanjiang Fisheries College. After graduation, he stayed in school to study pearl culture technology with Professor Xiong Daren, the father of modern pearls in China. 1989, with the determination of "overcoming the world problem of freshwater nucleated pearls and developing the production of freshwater nucleated pearls", he resolutely resigned from his superior job in the school and returned to his hometown to carry out the research on "freshwater nucleated pearls". After groping, 5 kg fresh water nucleated pearl samples were cultivated for the first time; Then, according to the technical problems in production, repeated experiments were made to increase investment and expand the scale of breeding. After several years of hard exploration, it has been successful, harvesting the world's first batch of freshwater nucleated pearls of more than 50 kilograms.

1991June 2 1 day, at the "6th China Jewelry Fair" held by China Jewelry Import and Export Corporation in Guangzhou White Swan Hotel, Mr. He Naihua, the general manager, solemnly announced and introduced more than 50 kilograms of "freshwater nucleated pearls" developed by Xie Shaohe to domestic and foreign guests, which shocked the jewelry industry at home and abroad. 1992 was included in the Japanese Pearl Yearbook, confirming the first documentary of "Freshwater Nucleated Pearl" in China. The freshwater nucleated pearl culture technology invented by Xie Shaohe ended the history that only seawater has nucleated pearls, and initiated a new era of freshwater nucleated pearls cultured by mussels. From 65438 to 0994, Guangdong Science and Technology Commission organized experts to conduct on-the-spot appraisal of the project "Large-scale freshwater nucleated pearl culture technology" hosted by Xie Shaohe, and confirmed it as an "international initiative" project, and its culture technology reached the "international advanced" level.

1In February, 1995, Comrade Song Jian, then State Councilor and director of the State Science and Technology Commission, inspected the Shaohe Pearl Breeding Base. After listening to the work report of Mr. Xie Shaohe, the inventor of freshwater nucleated pearls, he named the freshwater nucleated pearls "Shaohe Pearl" in recognition of Xie Shaohe's contribution to freshwater pearl breeding in China and even in the world. Mr. He Naihua, President of the International Pearl Association, praised freshwater nucleated pearls as unique pearls in the world history. He said: "The emergence of Shaohe pearls is a technological revolution in the pearl industry, which has solved the problem that freshwater pearls cannot be inserted into the nucleus, so it can be predicted that 2 1 century will be the era of Shaohe pearls."
