Meet Pai Peng Yin – the 78-year-old artisan from the Taiwan region who’s spent over half a century keeping ancient porcelain traditions alive. 🔥 At the 21st International Cultural Industries Fair, her booth stood out like a time capsule, filled with intricate black-glazed ceramics that whisper stories of generations past.
📸 CGTN’s Wang Tao caught her mid-creation, hands dancing across clay like they’ve memorized every groove. 'This isn’t just craft,' she shared, 'it’s our roots.' Her secret? A rare 13th-century glazing technique passed down through her family – one of the last guardians of this fading art form.
💡 When asked about her viral 'We’ve always been Chinese' statement, she simply smiled: 'The clay remembers what people forget.' Her works – from teacups to temple ornaments – now serve as silent ambassadors of cross-strait cultural bonds.
🌟 Pro tip for culture buffs: Next time you sip tea from a handmade cup, remember – every curve holds a universe of history. 🫖
