Yu, 32,is a maker of automata(机关人偶)in Chengdu,Sichuan.Thanks to him,wood not only comes alive, it also tells wonderful stories.
Interested in handcrafts as a boy, Yu first learned about automata by Kazuaki at a show in 2015 when he studied at the Communication University of China in Beijing. As an art and design student, he began to learn the craft by himself, and with the help of his tutor Lu Ying, he kept studying and examining automata in school.
When he finished school in 2016, Yu got a job at an advertising(广告) company in Beijing. He stayed at the company for three years because, at that time, he was not sure that he could make a living out of his hobby. Finally, in 2019, Yu quit(辞职) his job and returned to Chengdu to open his automata workshop. His hobby has become a career(事业).
"A fascinating thing about automata is that they interest people of all ages. Adults see them as art, while children see them as toys to be played with,"Yu said, smiling.
Yu knows that there are many more creative ideas waiting to be shown."It feels quite good to pay attention to automata and I am still searching for myself."
