70 Years Old, Too Old.

The thirty year old had such a lens on her cloth shoes: her grandmother had a needle and thread in her hand and a thimble on her finger.

Dinghai north gate left the root of the city, there is a 70 year old woman named Le Xiudi, who has been in the shoes for more than half a century.

To steal a teacher to learn crafts, to pick a bunch of lanes and collect business. As early as 50 years ago, shoes and shoes were counted as a skill of living.

Since he was laid off by his wife, his family fell into a dilemma. Le Xiudi began to think about making money to support his family.

Once she passed the alley of the main road, and saw a shoemaker always sitting there giving shoes to others.

She suddenly thought: when I was young, I learned how to get shoes with my mother.

From then on, she went to the alley every day and looked at the shoe makers and shoes, and silently remembered the whole process.

Back home, remember to cut and paste the upper and nail the thread.

On many tests, the shoes actually made a mold.

In this way, lothie bought a shoe model from Ningbo and put the hammer, paste, glue and other tools into the two boxes of soap. Once the box was picked, they began to walk through the door, string up the lanes, repair shoes and shoes, sometimes bring the shoe patterns home, and stay up late at night to insoles and shoes.

Take a look at your feet, and you can count the number of yards.

At first, Le Xiudi shouted at the side of the road: "do you have a cut?"

Do you have to cut shoes? "

Gradually, because of her fine craftsmanship, short needle and thread, and many of the shoes made to wear and be beautiful, the shoe business is getting more and more popular.

"At the end of the year, it's the busiest. Many people wear new shoes in the new year. They are busy every night until the middle of the night."

Le Xiudi smiled and recalled the cloth shoes shop that year.

Le Xiudi's experience of making shoes has made a pair of "ruler eyes" for many years. As long as she takes a glance at the feet of a customer, what size and upper size of her shoes will soon be counted.

Over the years, people nearby or far away have worn the cloth shoes she made.

Until now, when asked about some old people, everyone still relished the skills of Master Shifu.

Worried: is this skill a successor?

But now, hand-made cloth shoes are constantly being replaced by a pair of cloth shoes with fine satin, neat lines and mass production.

Dream of the Tang Dynasty, old Beijing cloth shoes and so on a "cloth shoes shop", mushroomed in the streets.

In the face of these "bulk" cloth shoes, Le Xiudi is worried that fewer and fewer shoes and shoes will be brought to her shoes, and the group of "shoe makers" who have lived like her for life will gradually disappear. Can this skill be handed down?
