So whenever he had free time, Li would closely observe the exterior structure and internal components of steam trains and asked professionals at railway stations about the machinery.
Later, Li was given a book from 1984 called "Steam Locomotives". It was a gift from a retired steam train driver. He spent three months teaching himself how to draw blueprints using software, and standardize and size the required parts for a locomotive.
But Li did not stop there. To make the train more powerful, he continued to improve it, and thus came locomotives two, three and beyond.
Now, Li has made a total of eight miniature steam locomotives, and Hanghang has become a skilled "conductor." The 15-year-old often confidently introduces his beloved miniature trains to others.
Thanks to his inspiring story, Hanghang got a job at a tourism site near his father's hometown driving his miniature train, which could carry 20 to 30 tourists at a time through the beautiful scenery.
