Chinese competitors had an excellent performance at the World Skills Competition 2022 Special Edition. They have already won eight golds.
Li Dexin won the nation’s first gold medal in cabinet making（家具制作）. It’s the first time that a Chinese competitor has won the first prize in this event since the nation started taking part in 2017, which was a great breakthrough for the nation.
“It was quite a challenge for me as it was my first time in a world-class competition,” Li said in an interview. “The first problem is language, which brought me much difficulty in communicating with international experts and judges.” He said he had been very stressed on the first day of the competition, but gradually found his pace （节奏）on the second day. After the win, Li said, “I plan to continue further study, and wish to become a good teacher and pass down my skills and spirit of craftsmanship（工艺）.”
Liu Xiaohong, Chinese team leader, said competitors must make a piece of furniture（家具） following a given picture in a 22-hour period-usually in four days.
Liu said that winning the gold medal in cabinet making was an honor, which would help encourage our competitors in the following events. “Woodwork is a traditional Chinese skill that has a history of thousands of years. China now is also a key producer in the world’s furniture market, and produces around 38% of the world’s furniture.” She added.
