Li Wanzhen, a 53-year-old woman from Foshan, Guangdong province, is the fifth generation of "lion head" makers.

Her family has been making "lion heads" since the Qing Dynasty, which have become known as "Li's lion head". Unlike other lion heads created by other artists, the Li's design is inspired by masks from Chinese operas.

"Making a lion head needs four major procedures and 1,300 steps," Li said.

Due to the complicated process, many young people do not want to learn the craft, but Li's daughter, Zhou Jiaxin, a former primary school teacher, is studying the skills, keeping the craft alive for another generation.

The village gained public attention for relying on an 800-meter zigzag network of rattan ladders that had no railings, which was the village's only link to the outside world. Photos of pupils climbing up the cliff on the rattan ladders sparked public outcry and prompted local officials to address the issue. [Photo/VCG] [Photo/VCG]

My mom and her sisters would have LOVE to do the job of just counting all this cash. I'm not saying they're greedy or anything, it's just that they are really into counting cash. In any social event like the end of weddings they'll always be the one volunteer to count the money. I find it weird, since the cash is not mine anyway.
