Master craftsmen hope to inspire an age of restoration

Ancients skills are being lost as beauty of cultural artifacts fades away, reports Zhang Yuchen in Beijing.

Liu Yuming, 77, is on the road again, traveling to one of the many Buddhist temples in northern China. One of the few restoration masters in the country, Liu is visiting the temple to help preserve its cultural relics.

He has restored hundreds of cultural artifacts, and worked on pieces in important heritage sites, such as the Summer Palace and the Yonghegong Lama Temple in Beijing.
