The Chinese are working hard to achieve their Chinese Dream. And now the model worker's spirit and the craftsman's(工匠)spirit are very popular. Here is a story of a great craftsman.
Born in 1949, Pan Qihui was once a PE teacher. He was interested in writing with brushes and painting as a child. His hobbies had nothing to do with his job, but he never gave them up. He also had interest in collecting stamps and ancient coins. However, since he saw the micro-carving(微雕)artworks at an exhibition in the 1980s, he has decided to study micro-carving.
In 1986, Pan wrote 100 letters to his 100 penfriends who also enjoyed collecting stamps and ancient coins to tell them he had decided to spend ten years studying micro-carving and promised to send each of them a piece of micro-carving work. Then, he practised every night after work. Through hard work, it only took him five years to achieve his dream.
Pan practises much and trains hard. He has set a goal for himself that he will create one piece of amazing work every year. To make sure his hands remain stable(沉稳的), Pan has given up smoking and been living a healthy life. Pan says he loves micro-carving and will never give it up.
