In Tongxiang, there is a seven-year-old girl named Feng Yuhan who is given the nickname "Sister Hammer". Taking her hobbies as a mentor, she followed the old carpenter grandpa to study how to work with natural wood. Her videos are popular on the Internet with the most favorite one being viewed more than 12 million times.
When we met Feng at first sight, she was sawing wood on the open space in front of her house. Left foot stepping on the wood, right hand holding a saw, she pushed and pulled flexibly and skillfully. It seemed so easy for her to saw down a piece of wood. "My daughter has loved working with wood ever since her childhood, and she has a strong hand-acting ability," said the father Feng Yibin.
Feng has now learned some simple carpentry skills such as measuring lines, sawing wood, and planing wood. Though a thin layer of callus on her little hand has come into being resulted from the frequent manual work, she is still immersed in it.
Her father Feng Yibin registered a Douyin (the Chinese version of TikTok) account with the name "Sister Hammer", and uploaded a video of Feng Yuhan working with the wood. Unexpectedly, it became extraordinary popular with more than 12 million people viewing and received more than 2.44 million likes.
The girl shared with us her dream during the interview. She said, "I want to be an architect to build houses when I grow up."
