Back when I was a kid, watching weather forecasts and those China maps shaped like roosters, my parents would point out the region that looked like a sweet potato and tell me it was the province we lived in—Shanxi. That vivid metaphor has since taken root in my heart, and now, with the help of 3D printing, I’m able to bring it to life in a truly fascinating way.

I remember when I was a child, watching weather forecasts and maps of China like roosters, parents would tell me that the one that looks like sweet potatoes is the province we are in - Shanxi. At this point, the metaphor of this image has taken root in my heart, and now it is realized through 3D printing, which feels very interesting.
