The iron casting master KUO Chang-hsi, now 74, learned the craft from his father when he was 13. Over 100 weapons in Ang LEE's film Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon were made by him; LI Chun-hung was a bank clerk, but he decided to quit his job and took over the family business once he realized that his parent could no longer handle the heavy work at their kiln. What drives these people to engage in traditional crafts is their belief that culture and crafts need to be passed on to future generations.
