A Christmas message from Hu Says

Quote

#HuSays】Christianity in China is undergoing some local changes among believers at the grassroots level, such as localized ways of observing the holiday. The West needs to accept that some aspects of Christianity are being shaped by China’s overall environment: Editor-in-Chief Hu Xijin

from Goldthread on Facebook - the "pee-pee boy"

Quote

This is a pee-pee boy, and it’s used by tea enthusiasts to test whether water is hot enough to brew tea. Some say it’s the oldest thermometer in the world. But how does it work? We look at the science behind it.

from Goldthread - China's Swiss watch maker

Shenzhen watchmaker: How a self-taught man learned to make $80,000 watches
Xin Fang
JAN 25, 2021
Lin Yonghua learned how to make watches by taking them apart. Now, he is one of China’s few Swiss-accredited watchmakers.

Quote

 

Independent watchmakers stand in contrast to the big companies that make up a majority of the market. They more or less make the watches themselves, injecting their own personalities into designs. Most spend months working on just one piece, a culmination of skill, passion, and patience.

Lin Yonghua is one of only three watchmakers from China certified by the AHCI, a Swiss organization that represents independent watchmakers. Membership is exclusive and requires one to make a watch completely without assistance.

All the more impressive, then, that Lin is mostly self-taught. He grew up in China at a time when most people could not afford luxury watches, let alone make one.
