Chef makes mooncakes at mooncake bakery in Henan

Zhang Xu bakes mooncakes at the mooncake bakery Jingshengchang in Xiayi County, Shangqiu, central China's Henan Province, Sept. 13, 2020. At age 31, Zhang Xu already serves as the chef of Jingshengchang, a Henan-based mooncake bakery established in 1860. Mooncakes produced at Jingshengchang are characterized by their crispy crusts and generous stuffing, coupled with a meticulous set of bakery skills which Zhang had begun to learn since high school graduation in 2007. "Our bakery skills are a great treasure," says Zhang. "I'll do my best to pass them down to future generations." (Xinhua/Feng Dapeng)
