Sister Ying opened the store every morning and has persisted for twenty -eight years. She usually sells paper -tie supplies used by Buddhism and memories. It is near the Mid -Autumn Festival and sells handmade lanterns. Like the closure of the protagonist of the movie "Classmate Manis", the shops of the family's ancestors were made of paper tie craftsmanship. Sister Ying's father turned out to be a bicycle repair worker and could be a good lantern. Whenever Mid -Autumn Festival, the neighborhood would call: "Peng Bo! Peng Bo! Make a lantern for our children!" The happy smile on the streets became the most persistent driving force for her father. It was also from that time that Ying Sister's hand -made lanterns had a preliminary concept.

The style of the lantern has only a few of them in the past, such as: apples, caramel, goldfish and lotus. But now, the world is progressing, and the lantern is also advancing with the times. Now, in addition to the traditional lanterns, there are also cartoon characters that planes, trains, sharks, and even children like to watch! Among them, the lanterns made by traditional glass paper are particularly loved by adults and children, and they are the hottest and hottest. It takes an hour to make the easiest stalemate lantern. Modern lanterns have adopted electronic lights instead of candlelights, which will be safer than before.

Ying Sister's son Akang is 27 years old. It turned out to be a property. Now he is temporarily returning to the shop in his home for help. Since the age of 4, his grandfather has taught him and his brothers and sisters to make lanterns. When the customer's lantern has flaws or broken, Akang acts as a "maintenance worker" to repair the lantern. Sister Ying hopes that her son can take over this paper craft shop. But Akang feels that the simple work of lantern for more than ten hours a day will feel tired and boring.

Many parents will also find Yingjie to arrange some parent -child activities, learn to do lanterns, and exercise their children's hands -on ability. Whenever the Mid -Autumn Festival, kindergartens and primary schools also have manual lessons for children to make lanterns by themselves, so that children can feel the charm of traditional culture.

The meaning of the lantern, happy family, prosperous career, everything is pointed to beauty.
