Mao Junfang is a bamboo craftsman(手艺人). When he was 17, he began to 1 how to make bamboo weaving crafts(竹编). He finished his learning two years later 2 he started to sell bamboo crafts. 

Ten years ago, making bamboo weaving crafts could not support Mao Junfang's family, so he had to work as a 3 in the factory to make some money. He did cleaning carefully to keep the factory tidy. He could take a one- day break every two days. 4 his break, Mao would make bamboo crafts at home. He likes to 5 different ideas when he's making bamboo weaving crafts. An over10- meter- long bamboo can magically be turned into chairs, 6 , food covers, and other kinds of tools. With his fine craftsman skills, Mao has 7 great respect(尊敬) among his countrymen. He has also got great prizes for his bamboo weaving crafts. 

Making bamboo weaving crafts needs both 8 and patience. A bamboo craftsman must be hard- working. Every day, Mao Junfang gets up 9 to begin his work at 6:00 am and he stops working after 9:00 pm. However, he can make only a few pieces a day. " Life is 10 for a bamboo craftsman. I don't want anyone else to experience the same life as I do, and I don't want the traditional craft to disappear, either, " Mao says.
