Royal miniatures
Peking - A Chinese artist has succeeded in painting 100 emperors on a single human hair four centimetres long, the official Xinhua news agency said.
Ding Guixing, 42, created a special kind of oil colour, and used mouse fur for his brush and a man's white hair as the canvas. He painted with the aid of a microscope which magnifies 100 times. AP
