Chen Tien-ping is a master at restoring old temples and has been a carpenter for more than half a century. His son, Chen Chi-wei, followed in his footsteps. From fixing intricate roofs, measuring beams and pillars to restoring delicate woodwork, Chen Tien-ping and his son are synonymous with temple restoration. They don’t make much, but it’s the joy in decrypting the wisdom of old and the peace of mind they get after a job well done that keep them going.
