Yu Haixu is a luthier working in Yingkou City of northeast China's Liaoning Province.

Its making craft was listed as a national-level intangible cultural heritage in 2006. Lu Faliang, 76, an inheritor of the craft, has been engaged in the art for over 50 years. In his career, he not only makes traditional paper knife cuttings, but also creates new ones which reflect modern life and local culture.
