"I hope primary school students will be able to learn more knowledge about astronomy from an early age," Wu said.

Wu came up with the idea of building an astronomical observatory at his home and started the project many years ago. All the hard work was undertaken manually by his family members, and the construction work has taken so long, he expects to finish it by end of this year.
