The second season of a popular mini documentary on Asian crafts people has once again gone viral online.

The first episode of "The Great Shokunin," Season Two, has been watched nearly 7 million times on Youku, China's largest video site, just one week after it was launched on April 18.

It tells the story of Yangbailiang, a 91-year-old woman from China's Li ethnic group. Since the age of 13, Yangbailiang has worked to create traditional Li pottery, a skill dating back some 6,000 years.
