Through paper and pottery, artisans redefine village

Zhang Shengdi, an entrepreneur in Fengxiang, Guizhou province, has been working to revive papermaking - her part in the fight against poverty - ever since President Xi Jinping visited Huamao village in June 2015.

Huamao falls under the administration of Fengxiang, which is part of the larger Zunyi city.

To alleviate poverty by developing tourism and cultural industries, the local government has made great efforts to protect traditional crafts such as pottery and papermaking, as well as developing other creative products.
