At a time when most young men are obsessed with the business world, Jiang Sheng, a man from the post-1990 generation, is taking a unique pathway. When Jiang was still in college, the sculpture major was once introduced to Yongfu Temple in Hangzhou to repair the hands of a Buddha statue. While he failed to restore the hands, he was deeply affected by life in the temple. He later made up his mind to take a different approach to the traditional craft and make customized Buddha statues.

For Jiang Sheng, the inner peace that comes from making Buddha statues is what he enjoys most and what he always pursues.
