University canteen master can thread a potato through the eye of a needle

Feng Zuowen sliced the potato effortlessly into thin strips and threaded the strips though the eye of a needle to show how thin they are.

The incredible skill has made him a star at Jilin University, where he has worked in the canteen for several decades. It also draws hundreds of students to line up in the kitchen to taste Feng's stir-fired potatoes.

"It's an unbelievable stunt. We are pretty interested," said Chen Yuxi, a first-year postgraduate at the technical and economic management school of the university. "I have been studying here for five years and always want to try more of Feng's dishes. The stir-fried potatoes are quite crispy and sticky."
