Even the master of the grinder also said that his skill was learned with grandpa for more than 30 years, but now the children are out to work, and no one is willing to inherit his craft.

Young people may have heard of grinding knife only now, but few people have seen it with their own eyes. Younger children do not know what the knife is.
will not be inherited by young people,
will disappear one day or not,
Master Wen's grinding skill is studied with Grandpa. From 1984 to now, he has been working for 31 years, and the things around him are very old, but they have a deep feeling.
Wen Shi Fu said that he lived near Chuang Fu Chuang. He used to find a place to stand in a booth and sharpen his knife. He can earn enough money to pay for his family. But now, the high-end residential buildings have been built, and more standardized, some community security let him enter the door, some do not let, he can only ride a bicycle around, also no fixed point. Speaking of his own skills, master Wen is a bit sour. He said, when he first learned to learn this art, is to make money to eat, and now to this age, the children are not willing to learn the art of this art, so that he is very lost. He now grinded a common knife about ten dollars, met a good knife and a difficult knife, and some could make a lot of money. But he was making a lot more money than it was at the beginning. But he was always worried: will the sharpening knife be the old man, and will there be no one any day again? (reporter Chai Yingying)
