In a world where modern tech often steals the spotlight, there’s a quiet rebel preserving timeless stories with every handful of clay. Meet Pai peng yin, affectionately known as the Porcelain Granny—an artisan who has dedicated over 50 years to perfecting the traditional black-glazed porcelain technique in the Taiwan region.
At the 21st International Cultural Industries Fair, CGTN digital reporter Wang Tao took us inside the exhibition area where Pai peng yin shares her passion. With no need for fancy words, she simply states, "We’ve always been Chinese," a phrase that captures her deep-rooted identity and cultural pride.
Her work goes beyond creating porcelain products; it's a tribute to heritage and the art of storytelling through craft. For young, tech-savvy minds navigating fast-paced lives across South and Southeast Asia, her journey is a reminder that tradition can inspire modern creativity—and sometimes, slowing down to appreciate the past is the key to a brighter future. 🎨✨
Stay tuned for more stories that beautifully bridge tradition and today's dynamic world.
