over Half a Century Handmade Mahjong Shop Faces  Peremptory Removal

# data[].attributes.body
In the 1960s and 1970s, handmade mahjong makers were relied on to carve mahjong for entertainment.Because of the cumbersome process, manual carvers can produce up to two or three sets of mahjong a day.

However, with the popularity of machine-made mahjong, sales of manual mahjong shrunk dramatically and may lose its luster.

Biu Kee Mahjong standed in Hong Kong for more than 50 years. The current owner, Zhang Shunjing, a handmade mahjong carver，known as Uncle Ging, learned mahjong carving from his father when he was a child child and now is in his seventies.

Biu Kee Mahjong was across the existence of three generations, but now faces peremptory removal and the plight of clearance of stocks.

Uncle Ging said :“Others may wish to continue to pass on this handicraft, but I still hope that children can live their own day.Handmade mahjong will probably end in my generation.”In addition, some customers mentioned that although attracted by the recent post and the brand, but due to the high price, they only bought some cheaper machine-made mahjong and derivatives from his store to support uncle Ging.

Hand-carved mahjong may have reached its last generation.
