Q: How to make miniature carving? What special meaning does it have in your mind?
Words or images are carved on tiny objects, like strings, toothpicks, rice, and small pieces of paper. Five techniques (micro-engraving, micro-carving, micro-book, micro-painting, and micro-sculpture) constitute miniature carving.

When I was a child, I was fond of miniature carving. Upholding the passion, I studied and developed tools like steel needles and mini brushes by myself. At the age of 25, I started to create miniature carving. As of today, I have engaged in this field for more than 40 years. What is my dream? To create the universe in a grain of sand.
