Pu is the oldest living Wenmian woman, or woman with a face tattoo, which is a tradition for Dulong women. There are only 19 Wenmian women left in Dulongjiang town, according to local government.
Local villagers said the tradition has many different explanations, including for beauty, a sign of the ethnic group or as way of avoiding pillage in old times.
