"this work uses black gold technology, colorful surfaces, and gold plating, which requires very delicate skills." ma jingjing showed her work at school. "the school gave us orders from companies. after we finished, the teacher announced the works of the company's craftsmen, which helped us quickly find the gap between ourselves and the company's craftsmen."
