Li, 70, a Jilin provincial master of arts and crafts, has spent 10 years completing micro-engravings of Dream of the Red Chamber and Journey to the West on stones.
"With an average of 0.6 millimeters per grid, I had a reference when engraving so that I wouldn't be affected by the curvature of the stone," said Li. "To focus on carving peacefully, I often started working when the night was quiet, solely to create excellent works."
