Then the second point I think he is a better person, he is a very hardworking, hardworking person.
[Explanation] Unlike other engravers, Yu Jiafeng's knives are filled with densely packed words.
Because he is a deaf-mute person, there are obstacles in communicating with others, so he writes on the handle of the knife when communicating with others, and over time, the handle is covered with layer after layer of writing.

Master Yu Jiafeng has been with me for more than ten years. He used to work in the bamboo carving industry out of town. Now, for the beams in our factory, he does all the embryos processing work, and it has gradually become the backbone of our factory.
[Commentary] When asked about Yu Jiafeng’s current work and family situation, he smiled happily and wrote on the board: “Currently there are three people in the family. The 9-year-old son is in the third grade of elementary school and his studies are not bad.” “Here I feel that the job is very good, and my colleagues treat me very well..."
