Born in 1996, Wang Yufang is an inheritor of fish-shaped lantern making skills, an intangible cultural heritage. Wang started to learn the skills from local villagers when he was 12 years old. Wang now runs a company selling fish-shaped lanterns and organizing related performances. He wishes to pass on the making skills of the lanterns, develop related cultural and creative products, and spread the culture of fish-shaped lanterns. (Xinhua/Du Yu)
