Gao Qinying works on a tiger boot in Tancheng county of Linyi city in east China's Shandong province, Oct 5, 2011. Gao Qinying, 69, started to make these artworks since 16 years old. The hand-made boots and hats with tiger images, which requires a series of complicated procedures such as stitching and embroidering, are cherished by the people in Shandong and Jiangsu provinces. But in nowadays, the hand-made hats and boots are marginalized due to the mass production of mechanization. [Photo/Xinhua]
