Editor's note: This year marks the 70th anniversary of the founding of New China.
On Nov 5, 1980, a violin made by Chen Jinnong from the Guangdong Musical Instrument Factory was awarded the gold medal for tone quality at the US International Violin Making Competition.
Since then, China has emerged in the top tier of violin-making countries. Unlike European countries with hundreds of years of violin-making history, China's progress in the endeavor has been relatively recent.
