Wang Tao set up a small business in Shanghai four years ago． He is known for using iron and other materials from old cars to make beautiful art pieces． Some are large pieces that look like animals or humans， and some are smaller pieces you can put at home． The more popular works can even be seen in art shops around the city． Wang Tao hopes to set up a "metal art" theme park to show people the importance of environmental protection． Not only can the art bring happiness to others， but it also shows that even cold， hard iron can be back to life with a little creativity．
