No one in the area has reportedly ever played the
Chinese brass trumpet-like wind instrument using a nose.

Lin, in his 50s, is a farmer who was born into a
family of suona players and has practiced playing the instrument for several
decades.

Lin frequently demonstrates his special skill as part
of a Leizhou opera troupe that perform in villages and townships.
