Zhang Wei said he's always happy to show people the exquisite Peking opera masks he makes, but he does not like it when they stare at his misshapen back.
The 48-year-old folk artist was born with scoliosis, which left his spine curved.
"When I was young, people called me hunchback Zhang, and they looked at me as if I was from another planet," he said.
