I have read the interview of this adorable grandpa, and he told the story of his life. He said he began to learn the skills when he was 11, because his father’s unexpected death forced him to work as apprentice, and several years later he learnt the carpentry and started to support the whole family. In his old village in Shandong of 1,500 residents, there were 8-9 carpenters. They helped villagers built furniture, houses and they were quite respected and could make a living. Coming into the 2000s, most villagers would prefer to buy furnitures made in factory and there were less and less work left for those skilled carpenters. The old man’s son was married in Guangxi province, the southwestern province bordering Vietnam and had a son, so he asked the old man to come to live with them. While looking after this grandson, the old man found he could pick up his skills again in the mountains and his grandson certainly loved those gadgets. That was how it all started. His son helped making this videos. The old man was quite calm and modest himself in the interview and he said he was only mediocre among those carpenters in his village. Amazing skills and I wish his craftsmanship could pass down to his son and grandson. By the way, his son also learnt the skill from the old man, though not good enough, but there is still hope that this will pass on

@scoops0406Рік тому
I find it so sad that so many of these incredible skills are being lost. My next door neighbour as a lad was a carpenter, I was completely absorbed watching him build a shed with scrap wood from scratch that mimicked the Dutch style house he lived in. I guess the reality is that a lot of these skills were learnt out of necessity, but it doesn't take anything away from the skill and ingenuity of these wise "old timers". We have much to learn from them, not just the practical skills, but also life and attitude skills.

@@dammitman1664 You mean those ancient coffins on the cliffs? Some of the coffins on the cliffs are 2,000 or 3,000 years old. An ancient Chinese book records that the ancient Chinese dug caves in the cliffs and then used ropes to lift the coffins from the top of the mountains to the caves, without the need for scaffolding. But that tradition is gone, so we don't know how they dug the caves. Maybe through archaeology, we can solve the mystery later.

It means everything to us. We have been told not to celebrate this year. There are riots everywhere. Almost every major city. People are killing each other over the color of their skin. It's INSANE! And every day it only gets worse. Some say we are IN a Civil War. I believe that. Sides have already been chosen. THAT'S FOR DAMN SURE. BULLETS HAVE ALREADY FLOWN. Yeah, I'd call that a Civil War.
