Chinese Potters - ■ (1) Extreme Job - Lushan Saddle Carriers Part 2 (Aired on May 24, 2012) 1474 meters above sea level! Lushan, a famous mountain in China with towering peaks! To reach the grandeur of Lushan, a hidden secret of China and a world cultural heritage, you must climb 3,000 narrow and steep steps! However, the rugged and rough rocky mountains make tourists hesitate. Those who act as the tourists' feet are none other than Lushan's saddle carriers. The weight of a person plus the weight of the saddle adds up to about 100 kilograms. The saddle carrier's shoulders must withstand a weight of nearly 100 kilograms. The total distance they must overcome while overcoming their crushed shoulders is 6 km. Since they climb up and down from the bottom of the mountain to the middle of the mountain dozens of times a day, they also have their own occupational disease. A disease where the spinal bone connecting the neck and shoulder protrudes convexly. Among the palanquin bearers, this is called a 'camel hump'. With bones like this, the pain in the muscles and knee joints of the entire body, and the calluses, needless to say. These are the ones who challenge the limits of humanity every day! Let's meet the palanquin bearers of Lushan who live desperately against the backdrop of splendid scenery. ■ (2) Extreme Job - Chinese Swordsmith Part 1-2 (Aired May 15-16, 2013) Longquan City in Zhejiang Province, China, famous as the 'City of Swords'! These days, traditional swords are disappearing due to cheap modern swords, but there are swordsmiths who are preserving the traditional Chinese swordmaking techniques that have been passed down for thousands of years. They mine iron sand from the river and endure the forging work of striking iron blocks tens of thousands of times. Chinese swordsmiths who hone their skills and put their soul into each sword! And the greatest sword in China, created after a time of suffering! Chinese swordsmiths work with all their might, enduring 1,300-degree fires to make just one famous sword. Let’s meet their hot sweat. In a traditional sword factory in Longquan City, China, forging is in full swing, hammering out a heated block of iron to make a blade. Swordsmith Zhou Zhengwu is famous for restoring and making traditional Chinese swords, taking over his family’s sword business. Every time the swordsmiths here hit the 900-degree-heated block of iron with a heavy hammer in the furnace, sparks fly out without mercy. Even though they get burned by the sparks, they don’t stop hammering. For thousands of years, humans have been making swords by collecting iron dust from the sand along the riverside. Traditional Chinese swordsmiths still make swords by collecting iron sand. However, even if you soak yourself in the river for several days to collect iron sand, the amount of iron sand you can obtain is not much. They say that you can only make one sword with 230 kilograms of iron sand. After a long period of effort, you finally started the smelting process of making steel using iron sand. Can the iron sand, which is full of impurities, be reborn as pure steel in a furnace that burns up to 1500 degrees? ■ (3) Extreme Job - Chinese Stone Cinderella Collectors Part 2 (Aired on July 28, 2011) The small village where the Li ethnic minority in China lives, located at the foot of Mt. Goryeo, becomes busy from early in the morning. This is because you have to climb the mountain early in the morning to collect stone cinderella. In order to collect stone cinderella, which only grows at an altitude of 3200 km, you have to hike for five or six hours, so not only do you have to wake up early in the morning, you also have to pack everything, such as bedding and food, for the three-day, two-night mountain camping trip. After carefully packing, a rugged five-hour hike begins... Goryeo Gongsan, where Chinese ethnic minorities live in villages, is an unspoiled natural mountain. Because of this, you must be especially careful because of the steep 90-degree slope and the soft soil, which makes your feet often sink while hiking, and the threatening thorn trees with thorns over 7cm tall and poisonous plants that cause hives when you just touch them. ■ (4) Extreme Job - China's Chagan Lake Fishermen Part 2 (Aired on January 12, 2012) A harsh winter with temperatures approaching -20 degrees Celsius! Fishing on a huge ice continent! Fishermen wearing layers of fur coats to protect themselves from the bitter wind! Their day begins at 5 a.m. when darkness falls. January, the coldest month of Chagan Lake's winter that lasts more than five months! They are even more determined because they can only fish in winter for one month! Four teams of 60 people each! Fishermen heading to their assigned areas by team! Sharp ice pieces flying into their faces every time they break the thick ice! An ice lake that is dangerous even if you just slip! In addition, there are 320 ice holes that must be dug with sharp iron spears! Will they be able to safely set up the net? Hard work and bitter cold! In addition, a huge net that is 2,000m long! The weight of the endlessly spread net is beyond imagination! How on earth do they pull up a net that weighs nearly 10 tons? Fish slowly being pulled out of the water between the nets thrown into the ice holes! However, the amount is extremely small. They worry that they might have dug the ice hole wrong and come up empty-handed, so they pull up the net with all their might. The net slowly rises to the surface. Can we expect another big hit? ■ (5) Extreme Jobs - Chinese Cliff Sculptors Part 1-2 (Aired on June 8-9, 2011) 1,819m above sea level. Sanqingshan Mountain is the most beautiful and naturally beautiful mountain in China! It has preserved its natural beauty to the point that it was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and countless tourists from all over the world come to visit. In order to see the spectacular scenery of Sanqingshan Mountain, there is a place you absolutely must pass by. That is the cliff 'Sando'. The 'Sando Road' is made on top of a 1,400m high rock cliff. And there are 'Sando Road Workers' who work barehanded on the cliff to build that tall and magnificent road. Once they start working, they hang on the cliff for a long time to make just a few meters of sando, starting with small hammerings and working on it with only their bare bodies from the beginning to the end. On a steep cliff, we tell the story of craftsmen who create something out of nothing. #TVDocumentary #ExtremeJob #China #ChineseJob #Maker #Lushan #LushanMaker #Swordsmith #Sword #ChineseSword #ChineseSword #StoneCuttingGatherer #StoneCutting #HoneyGatherer #Honey #Beehive #ChaGanHo #Fisherman #ChaGanHoFisherman #Cliff #Maker #OverseasExtremeJob
