A paper-making craftsman named Shi Liming in Baoding, Hebei province, has been working on the development of high-quality domestic watercolor paper for more than three decades in the industry.
"apermaking is one of the four great inventions of our country, but the development of high-end watercolor paper started relatively late," the 53-year-old Shi said.
His factory mainly produces paper for watercolor, sketching, oil painting and industrial use, with great efforts aimed at producing high-quality watercolor paper.
