Deng fell in love with paper-rolling out of interest. She enjoyed herself rolling the paper with special tools, turning it into a small "component" and bringing all the components together to make it a piece of exquisite artwork.

Now, one of her teachers from the School of Computer and Information Engineering, Nantong Institute of Technology, in East China’s Jiangsu province, is developing a website to sell her works including paper-rolling boxes, jewelry and pictures.
