A sales assistant (L) and a resident relocated from poverty-stricken area observe a batik product at a batik workshop in Danzhai County of Guizhou Province in southwest China, Dec. 1, 2020. Wang Fangzhou, 40, started in August 2016 a workshop specialized in batik, a craft inherited through generations among the Miao ethnic group in Guizhou. Later on, he launched a batik experience gallery in Wanda Township, a local tourist attraction. His workshop and gallery have received more than 6,000 tourists so far this year with combined sales revenue of over 300,000 yuan (about 45,500 U.S. dollars). Thirteen residents relocated from poverty-stricken areas have found employment with decent salaries here. (Xinhua/Yang Ying)
