Who are the inheritors of China's traditional skills?

It is said that one of the inheritors is Jiangjin earthenware craftsman, Wen Deyun. Wen Deyun is 52 years old this year. After graduating from middle school, he learned to make pottery. He began to deal with all kinds of clay and worked as a Potter in pottery factories all over the country. In 2004, he returned to his hometown of Jiangjin and rented this earthenware workshop with an area of only 1000 square meters to continue his earthenware life. In his own words, he "played with mud for half his life and will continue to play for the rest of his life". Wen Deyun's pottery workshop has been around since the 1970s. The six workers who work here are all people who have entered the industry since childhood and have a deep love for earthenware crafts. Pots, jars, pickle jars, red tofu pots and other containers in Jiangjin are mostly made by potters here. Nowadays, the craft of making pottery is gradually showing a situation of green and yellow. "Now young people don't want to do this. At the end of the day, I was covered in mud, dirty and tired, and I was particularly upset. Impetuous people are hard to do well. " Wen Deyun sighed, "but I never thought about other industries. I will stick to it here and keep doing it.
