An eye-catching sand table portrays the scene of people preparing for the upcoming Chinese New Year in a village in Shandong Peninsula during the Minguo era (1912-1949). These vivid images were created by 35-year-old Qu Junmeng and are currently on display at a large mall in Qingdao of Shandong province.
