Shen also showed a miniature model of furniture he had made. Each of the 50 models is only 1/30 of the original. The model was built intermittently in more than 30 years.
Shen's most cherished piece is a model of a violin, which is only 26mm long. It took him nearly three years to finish. The model violin is only as big as an adult person's little finger, but it is equipped with adjustable strings. When Shen touches the strings with his nails, it creates a beautiful sound.
