For over 50 years, one dedicated artisan in the Taiwan region has been on a unique mission: preserving hidden stories in clay. Known affectionately as the Porcelain Granny, she transforms every handful of clay into a work of art that carries deep heritage and identity. 🎨
Using the traditional black-glazed porcelain technique, her craft is much more than just a product—it’s a heartfelt belief. At her modest booth, she lets her art speak for itself, simply stating, "We've always been Chinese," a phrase that perfectly encapsulates her unwavering commitment to tradition.
At the 21st International Cultural Industries Fair, CGTN digital reporter Wang Tao captured her inspiring journey in the vibrant exhibition area dedicated to the Taiwan region. The fair brought together creative minds, cultural enthusiasts, and professionals, celebrating both innovation and time-honored craftsmanship.
The Porcelain Granny’s work not only safeguards a fading art form but also lights a spark for a new generation of creatives and explorers. Her timeless art reminds us that in a modern, digital world, tradition and heritage remain alive and influential. 🌟
