Artisan recognized for work restoring deity statues

The New Taipei City Government has recognized an artisan who has been restoring statues of deities for more than three decades for his contributions to cultural preservation.
Chin Ming-wei (金明偉), 52, has restored more than 10,000 statues of deities over the past 30 years, including those at Taipei’s Xiahai City God Temple and New Taipei City’s Baohe Temple in Lujhou District (蘆洲).
Last year, he received a plaque from a temple that named him the “god of healing” and received an award from the New Taipei City Government for his contributions to the preservation of intangible culture.
