Editor's note: Chen Changfa is famous for serving dishes in Hejiang County of western China's Sichuan Province. And, one of his claims to fame is that he can hold a long wooden tray on top of his head packed with a large number of dishes. He believes he has brought more than 300,000 dishes to dining tables over a period of 38 years without a single mishap. The trick is said to have been invented several hundred years ago in the town, when dish servers needed to scamper through crowded streets showing a great sense of balance to serve many guests at the local banquets. Now, only Chen and a single apprentice can perform the extraordinary feat.
