This summer, Li and Wang Zilu, a graduate of the Chelsea College of Arts at the University of the Arts London in the UK, connected online and set out together on a field trip to Jiangyong to immerse themselves in nyushu culture.

In recent months, they have been part of a group of nyushu explorers looking at the theory and case studies of the script, including those involving aesthetics and community art. With shared interests and unique perspectives, they journeyed to Jiangyong to engage directly with nyushu inheritors in their home environment.

Reflecting on the experience, Ma says: "For me, nyushu isn't just a way of writing; it's a bridge connecting women's emotions and friendships. The girls and I curated an exhibition centered on nyushu's charm, an important way to share and preserve this culture."
