Chinese kite makers have a lot to worry these days. As China becomes more modern a new generation is playing video games instead of (attach) painted silk to bamboo frames (支架). The only kite makers remain are growing old quickly nearly all of them are men.
Han Fuling has been making (tradition) kites for nearly all of his 82 years. He can remember the special feeling when he (build) his first kite at the age of 7.
Yet these days, Han doubts that any of his (child) will carry on his kite making. "Not only my son decide not to make kites, but also he says I am old and I should rest now," Han said. "But kites are my passion. How can I stop making kites?"
The slow downfall of kite making is part of a larger story in China. Historic architecture, crafts and music are being overwhelmed by China's (grow). It has become quite difficult (preserve) its older way of life.
