Others think that it is rare for a woman to do this job. However, the 45 year old Jing Xiaoling said: “I didn’t think over at that time. I just wanted to reduce expenditures. I did farm work since I was a child. I had enough strength. So, I started doing it.” In 1991, Jing Xiaoling married Chen Dewen. Since then, they worked together to make such farm implements and kitchenware as hoe, kitchen knife and shovel.

Jing Xiaoling starts working around 07:00 o'clock every day. She helped select raw materials for making an axe. She was very familiar about making it thanks to her 26 years of experience.
