(BEIJIING, February 1) Huang Baobang, a frontier guard in Zhoushan of southeast China's Zhejiang Province, finds interest in working with crab shells.

His hobby began on a trip to his hometown in Guangxi in November last year. He had brought back some live seafood, but he found them dead upon arrival due to hot weather. Then he tried to draw something on a crab shell. Among his works, the one with the figures of the Olympic mascots - Fuwa - was most accepted by his relatives and colleagues.

As Huang's unit lives at the seaside, it is convenient for him to find crab shells. Thus he expanded his off-duty creation themes to include even Peking Opera facial makeup styles. Now he calls himself a folk craftsman.
