Li Minggui found that extracting leaf veins by traditional methods was easy to destroy the integrity of leaf veins, with high brittleness, easy damage and poor plasticity. In this regard, he developed a new extraction method which can ensure its integrity, toughness and long preservation time. Li Minggui has obtained three national invention patents in the continuous improvement of leaf craftsmanship.

By his hands, leaves can not only be made into bookmarks, but also into key chains, earrings, night lights and other different kinds of decorations and daily necessities.

“How to inherit skills has become a question I have been thinking about for years.” According to him, if we want to develop a craft, we need more young people to learn it. First of all, we should be interested in it. Just like lovers, we should feel their spirituality and cultivate their feelings slowly.

Li Minggui learned from Yang Ming, the inheritor of Three Gorges Leaf Art. Yang Ming taught him the leaf art, and Li Minggui grasped the key of leaf making. On this basis, after intensive research, he finally developed the depth and breadth of leaf products. After the establishment of the company, he not only recruited a few apprentices, but also started training for some enthusiasts. (Translated by Luo Juan, Fathom Language Limited)
