Have you ever tasted or perhaps heard of sugar painting?

As less people choose to make this kind of painting, the traditional Chinese folk craft might have become a distant memory in some ways.

From Mugou village in Gaoping city in Shanxi province, Li worked as a miner for more than ten years. After the mine closed down, Li turned to interior decorating, until he was forced to give that up due to a finger injury.
