Grandpa Huang, a master copper spoon master, is over 80 years old and is concentrating on making the copper spoons in his hand, and may never do so. No more.

When I really walked out of my grandpa’s old house in Sanheyuan, I said goodbye to my grandpa who I had only met once but seemed like my elder. At the same time, I also said goodbye to Taiwan’s last ice spoon craft.

This particularly beautiful Sanheyuan It was Grandpa’s home and his workshop. The specific working place was the foot of the stove. There were many old objects in it.

All these old objects are accompanied by the sound of knocking, radio and fan rotation in the place where they are stored.

In front of you It is an old photo that looks like it was condensed in time. The protagonist of the picture is Grandpa, who has a determined expression. He is also the last Ice Spoon artist in Taiwan.

Grandpa met his master when he was in his 20s. His master mainly taught him how to open keys and copper ice spoons. Grandpa took more than three years of training before finally becoming a master.

He then engaged in this job for the rest of his life and used this job to support his entire family.
