Old Lady With Shoe Gourd With Towel Gourd

The idea of using Loofah as an insole is really peculiar, but it is even more unexpected than ever: making an insole is actually a 76 year old old lady.

The old man's name is Ding Chunrong. He is a villager in Tai Qian village, Chengguan Town, Tai Qian county.

In January 7th, the reporter saw in her home interview that there was a pile of dried towel gourd on the floor of the room.

A root towel gourd, after peeling, flatting, cloth, sewing, and other links, in the twinkling of an eye, in the hands of the elderly into a pair of insoles.

According to Ding Chunrong, a few years ago, when she was visiting relatives in Shandong, her family's children's grass slippers caught her attention.

The children told her that the slippers were not only breathable, but also comfortable on their feet, and a pair of grass slippers could sell for more than 10 yuan.

She was inspired by the idea of making insoles with Loofah.

Because this kind of insole is much stronger than the cloth shoe pad in the air permeability, sweat absorption and wear-resisting, the price is not high, so it is very popular in the local market.

With the improvement of popularity, Ding Chunrong's old man made his insole more vigorous, and he could make more than 10 pairs in the morning.

She also plans to mobilize villagers to plant loofah in front of the house after spring, and promote the production of towel gourd insole technology, so that women in the village can have more work and more income in the slack season.
