Although this is a time consuming and complex craftsmanship, Xiao Denghua has persisted his passion for 29 years. "I enjoy watching the skillful craftsmen at work. Each piece of traditional silver jewery is unique and different from factory-made jewelries", said Lin Ran, an old-time customer of Xiao. "This old shop holds a unique and irreplaceable memory for my family.”

"Craftsmen like Xiao Denghua are not only the carriers of traditional craftsmanship but also the inheritors of Pingtan's tradition and culture. If traditional crafts can keep pace with the times and be made into modern products, then we will be able to salvage a disappearing art and keep the local tradition alive," said Lai Min, a local folk art expert.
