Because of a car accident, Zhang Zongjun's calf was amputated. However, he did not succumb to the pain, bravely faced life, and embarked on the road to prosperity by circulating more than 200 acres of land and planting cash crops such as potatoes, broccoli and kale. Three years ago, he accidentally saw wire weaving, so he went to learn specifically, and began to weave finished products in the winter of 2021, using the 60 days of leisure to increase his income by about 18,000 yuan.
"This peacock, I made up for 3 days, I also have to draw threads, I have to wind, a little slow." Zhang Zongjun said that each finished product must go through winding, routing, assembly, modeling and other processes. Although aluminum wire is easy to shape, to control its curvature, it is necessary to repeatedly ponder and practice, and master its toughness, Zhang Zongjun said when introducing weaving.
