Shandong guy earns half a million dollars a year doing miniature modeling.

Shandong guy doing miniature modeling annual income of 500,000, his body has a lot to learn from the spirit. For example, for the love of traditional crafts, as well as enduring loneliness, enduring loneliness, and surviving the spirit of the downtrodden.

I admire this Shandong guy, not only marvel with his strength, but also admire his creativity. A piece of foam, a piece of wire, even a piece of paper or other materials, for us they are just foam, wire or paper. In our hands, they cannot create more possibilities. But in Li Shousheng's eyes, they are the most basic components of his miniature works.

What is miniaturization? A miniature is a work of imitation that utilizes equal proportions of reduction. It is a miniature model of the replica version. For example, if your home is the original, micro-miniaturization is to make your home smaller, and it has to be exactly the same, not a little different. Therefore, before doing the miniature, you also have to visit the field and take photos to record the restoration. It can be said that the success of the miniature works, behind to pay a huge effort.

Li Shousheng is not a professional miniaturist. He studied stage design in college, and he came into contact with miniature because of his graduation project. But it was this contact that kept him coming out. From then on, he couldn't help falling in love with miniature. Since then, he has started his long and lonely road of miniature. It's also only in the past few years that he's been seen, but in the years he couldn't be seen, he had a super hard time. That's how hard it is to be a craftsman. It's really ten years of hard work.

I think that in the way of maximizing one's own value, love can really withstand the long years. Only love can survive time and loneliness. If he didn't love microscopy, I don't think he would have been so successful, and probably would have quit halfway through. For example, Li Qin is an heir to kunqu, but because she didn't like it enough and didn't think there was any way out of kunqu, she changed careers and became a star. There are also many craftsmen who can't stand the period of anonymity and have given up halfway through. So this kind of really has to be genuinely enjoyed in order to stick with it.
