A 49-year-old man named Jiang Keqin from Taixing, Jiangsu province runs a tailor shop specializing in cosplay costumes. Jiang has gained an excellent reputation among local cosplayers after years of working in this field.
江苏泰兴一位名叫蒋克勤的49岁男子经营了一家专门制作cosplay服装的裁缝店。在这个领域工作多年之后，蒋在当地的角色扮演者之间赢得了很好的声誉。
Coming from a family of tailors, Jiang started his Shanghai tailor shop in 1994. Later, he turned to costumes as a specialty when the tailoring business experienced a recession. He made a name for himself among cosplayers after he created an elaborate pirate costume for a female cosplayer. Soon, as more cosplayers hired Jiang to make costumes for them, he became the local tailor for cosplay costumes.
蒋来自一个裁缝世家，于1994年在上海开了他的裁缝店。后来，裁缝这一行业走下坡路时，他开始专门做服装。在为一个女性角色扮演者制作了一件精美的海盗服之后，他在角色扮演者之间出了名。很快，随着更多的角色扮演者雇用蒋为他们做服装，他成了当地制作角色扮演服装的裁缝。
"Tailoring such costumes is not easy," said Jiang, who reads comic books in his spare time to study the latest designs of animation costumes. Indeed, cosplay has become a huge industry, encompassing publications, props, dancing, costumes, art and more, explained Jiang.
“定制这样的服装不容易，”蒋说，他在业余时间看漫画书，研究动漫服装的最新设计。事实上，角色扮演已经成为一个巨大的产业，包括出版物、道具、舞蹈、服装、艺术等等，蒋解释道。
"I’m only one part of the industrial chain," he added.
“我做的只是产业链的一部分，”他补充说。
In addition to individual cosplayers, Jiang has also begun tailoring costumes for small-scale game companies. Currently, Jiang earns more than a 10,000 RMB per month ($1,477). He believes the industry will continue to grow.
除了个人角色扮演者，蒋也开始为小型的游戏公司量身打造服装。目前，蒋每个月赚1万多元人民币（1,477美元）。他相信这个行业将会继续成长。
