A 1966 profile from China Reconstructs of Chou So-kuei, a weaver and Party member at the No. 2 State Cotton Mill in Shihchiachuang, north China. It describes how he trained his eyes, ears and hands to detect faults among a power loom's 900 or so parts and prevent breakdowns, and how his method was promoted through training classes. It also covers his childhood hardship, his start at the mill in 1954, and his "double-handed" weaving technique. The article is written in a political tone and concerns industrial loom maintenance rather than hand weaving.
