Now Qin's grandson Qin Lang is learning the craft from him. The grandson performed a shadow play during an international shadow play festival in 2005 at four years old and became an instant hit.

The process of making shadow play usually includes selecting a skin, making the skin, drawing a sketch, carving, coloring, ironing and embellishing. After the puppets are ready, a white curtain will be put up, and then artists manipulate puppets behind the screen while singing or narrating.

Chinese shadow play, which originated from the end of Qin Dynasty (221-206 BC), has a long history of more than 2,000 years. Yunmeng shadow play is an old folk art form of the Han people and originated from the middle of Qing Dynasty (1644-1911).

Shadow puppetry was recognized as a world intangible cultural heritage by the UNESCO in 2011. Qin Ligang became a national-level representative inheritor of shadow play art in 2012.
