To Nanjing Library's veteran ancient book restorer, Yang Laijing, mending ancient books is like doing a jigsaw puzzle.
"It's a time consuming job," says Yang, who has been doing the job for 40 years.
"I treat it like playing a game. Otherwise, I wouldn't have the patience and energy. Most young people find the job too dry and are not willing to take it up," Yang adds.
