Wu Rongqiang repairs a celadon ware with lacquer at his studio in Niutouling Village, Longquan City of east China's Zhejiang Province, Jan. 15, 2019. Wu Rongqiang, a Longquan native aged 45, started exploring traditional lacquer art since 2012. In 2017, he moved his family to an old house deep in the mountains in Longquan in order to do more experiments in lacquer undisturbed. He uses lacquer to repair broken porcelain and to create lacquerware. Also, he experiments on the production of various lacquers. "I feel so pleased to return to my hometown and do something I am interested in," said Wu. He is dedicated to revive the ancient art that has almost been forgotten in China. (Xinhua/Weng Xinyang)
