An old man who fixes watches (17)

Mr Chen is busy repairing the watch wearing a magnifying glass.

Born in 1925, 89-year-old Chen Shaolin works in his watch repair shop like a Swiss clock.

In his shop, different kinds of clocks are hung on the table, in the shelves, and even the crevices of radiator are stuffed with tools. Chen’s shop opens from 7:30 am to 5:30 pm.

“Nowadays, watch repairing is not so prosperous like in the old days”, the old man said. He started as an apprentice at 15. He said he has fixed more than 10,000 watches in his life.
