Wu Sheng Ping is 70 years old. (at the time of the video) He's one of the oldest shadow puppet master, and he's the only surviving master that can make paper shadow puppets.

I couldn't find any current information about him.

Other Masters of comparable age are also still working. 33 Masters are helping a museum collect and preserve shadow puppetry.
