Born into a family of sculptors(雕刻家) in 1983 in Pingyao, Shanxi, Zhang Rong showed an interest in clay figures as a child. "From the age of {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(八), I would sometimes follow my father when he went to work. At that time, I dreamed of learning his skills," said Zhang.

However, Zhang's parents didn't want him to be a sculptor. They thought that he {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(应该) pay attention to his studies and go to university. Zhang did as they advised.

Zhang {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(毕业) from university in 2005 and became a programmer. But he got bored with his work and still dreamed of {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(创造) clay figures. He began to make clay figures in his spare time to overcome the boredom of his work. He learned the skills he needed in different ways by {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(他自己). He read books as well as learned from {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(当地) artists. He also practiced a lot and tried to develop his own style.

{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(通过) his hard work, Zhang improved his skills over time and won a place among all the sculptors. In 2012, he gave up his job and started his own {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(事业). His clay figures caught the eye of tourists from home and {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(国外). Zhang also made clay figures for a few special customers free of charge, such as left-behind seniors and soldiers.

Thanks to Zhang's efforts, Pingyao clay figure sculpting was listed as a city-level cultural treasure in 2015, and he was given the title of city-level inheritor(继承人 ). "{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(无论何时) I complete a clay piece, I hope to tell more people about the art. It will be my lifelong dream," Zhang said.
