  We have been making this kite since 1974, and we have been making it almost every day since we retired.

There are four to five thousand kites anyway.

Through this kite as a medium, the two of us stayed with each other to accompany our old age.

Every time I make a kite and fly it outside, I feel very happy.

As long as the body allows, we will accompany to the end, to the end.

  [Explanation] On the same day, the reporter saw that a kite in the shape of a crocodile was quickly drawn by Pang Yuelongqiao's hand, and then it entered the assembly process.

Before assembling the kite, Pang Yuelong first roasted the grease in the bamboo poles and pressed the bamboo poles repeatedly to ensure that it would not be deformed.

Yue Xiufen and Pang Yuelong used a tape measure to measure the size of the kite's skeleton in order to process the bamboo poles.

  For what kind of kite we want to make, we must first choose its dye and which color to use. After the comparison is made, it will be both bright and beautiful.

The other one must find a balance. If you can't find a balance, you can't put it up after you draw it.

When buying bamboo poles, you will buy new bamboos after you see them, put them in a cool place, and wait more than a year before you can use them.

Once the drawing is done, the line is tied up.

These three steps are critical.

  [Explanation] In the kite works of Pang Yuelong and his wife, in addition to a few traditional small sand swallow kites, there are more large kites with themes of traditional culture or animals.

The reporter learned that because of the huge size of the "Ponzi" board kite, it sometimes takes at least a week for Pang Yuelong and his wife to make and polish a kite.

Pang Yuelong and Yue Xiufen will go out for test flight every time they finish making kites to ensure the quality of each kite.

Pang Yuelong told reporters that today's "Ponzi" board kites are being loved by more and more people, and this is inseparable from Yue Xiufen's inseparable companionship and help.

  Every day we are thinking about what kite we should do. The two of us discussed and cooperated. We made this kite, which deepened the relationship between husband and wife, and part of the credit for this kite.

Doing it together every day, I also have the heart to rely on what is appropriate, and I can't do it once she is missing.

All in all, every kite has half of hers and half of mine.

  [Explanation] In the future, Pang Yuelong hopes to make a kite that only represents the love between him and his wife. In addition to designing male and female images to represent each other, he also plans to create a poem about love and make this kite become them. Symbol of love between two people.
