Craftsman Zhang Wei, 28, inherited the spotted bronze craft, a traditional skill to make spots and figures on bronze wares. Before Zhang devoted himself to spotted bronze wares making, he once had a proper work with a more stable income at a state-owned enterprise. Yet the passion to inherit the spotted bronze craft allured him to become a professional craftsman. It often takes him two to three months to finish a spotted bronze ware, which undergoes at least 20 processes. Due to a lack of material and difficulty in passing down the craft, hand-made spotted bronze wares are extremely precious. In 2008, the spotted bronze craft was listed as a National Intangible Cultural Heritage. "I hope more people get to know spotted bronze, and let the craft be passed down," Zhang said.
