Master's story

Ater mastering （掌握） the skills.Liu opened a studio and looked for more umbrella-making masters.Liu improved the umbrellas to win the hearts of young people.As the traditional paper was easy to break，he started to use a thicker paper.He also used a lighter bamboo to make the umbrellas weigh less.
In 2017，Liu opened an online shop to sell umbrellas.It now has thousands of followers.Still，Liu doesn't hurry.To keep the quality（質(zhì)量），his studio makes only 1，000 umbrellas each year.Liu hopes the art can be passed on.He goes to schools to teach students.He also goes to events in different places to let more people know about it.
