Straw sandal craftsman Xiao Nandou demonstrates the process to make straw sandals in Hanxin Village, Yudu County of east China's Jiangxi Province, June 13, 2019. Xiao Nandou, 75 years old, is one of few craftsmen able to weave straw sandals in Yudu County. His father, also a straw sandal craftsman, used to weave 200 pairs of straw sandals together with other villagers in a few days for the Red Army soldiers to depart for the Long March, a military maneuver carried out by the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army from 1934 to 1936.
