A master of sugar figurines

　Xiong Chuanfa, 34, has been working with sugar figurines¹, a traditional Chinese folk art² with a history of over 600 years, for more than 20 years.
　Every morning, Xiong drives to areas near Wanshou Palace, one of the most popular blocks in Nanchang, then starts blowing sugar figurines.
　"Many people are interested in this, especially kids," Xiong said. "After all, they don't see it often. Some think that I'm doing 'a magic show'."
　Recently, Ngendakumana, a young man from Burundi and student at Nanchang Hangkong University, lost himself in a sugar Bing Dwen Dwen at Xiong's stall. It was so lifelike. He couldn't help thinking what it would be like if he tried to make one himself. And then he did.
　"It looks easy, but actually very difficult to do it on my own,”"said Ngendakumana, after several tries. With Xiong's help, Ngendakumana finally saw a horse gradually taking shape in front of his eyes.
　"I can't believe I've done this," Ngendakumana said with excitement.
　Xiong said that blowing sugar figurines can date back to the Ming Dynasty and that his family has been doing this for four generations. "Every traditional folk art in China should have a future, and people like us are here to make sure of that,” he added. "They are symbols of the Chinese culture, and I hope that one day the rest of the world can enjoy it too—a sweet taste of China."
