A sophomore at a vocational university in Yangzhou, Jiangsu province, has no spare time because dozens of schoolmates rely on him to mend their clothes.

Although he has been at the university a bit more than a year, Shi Chaoge has mended more than 1,000 items of clothing free of charge.

Even women students admire his mending skills.

Shi said he had been so active as a child that his mother was forever mending his socks.

After spending time away from home, he learned how to mend socks and clothes himself and gradually became an expert.
