Editor's note: It is amazing that something as fragile as an empty eggshell can be made into an elegant work of art. These beautiful eggshell carving works were made by He Ya, a 28-year-old chef working at a restaurant in Bozhou, Anhui Province. He began to take a deep interest in eggshell carving five years ago and has been working hard to improve his professional skills. His works are particularly favored by local young people as every cut and touch is so exquisite, flexible and vivid, with the contents covering a wide range of flowers, grasses, Chinese characters and hollowed-out patterns.
