Li Yuming, 68, who has only an elementary school education, has built seven submarines since 2003.
Li, from Hanyang, Hubei Province, has now been granted a license to make recreational submarines, yachts, ferries and fishing boats. The retired shoe maker spends all his free time inventing things: "I like challenges, especially those which seem impossible," he said.
Li's first four submarines were not fully seaworthy and the fifth one he built was the first to notch up a successful voyage.
