Storyline
Embroiderers from the Yi ethnic group are prospering as their exquisite pieces have found a market far beyond the remote mountains of Yunnan where they are crafted, and are now sold around the world.
In a new episode of China Media Group’s new documentary series “Snapshots of Modernization” we meet Zhang Qiongfen, once a part time construction worker, whose life has been transformed by embroidery.
In this episode she shows viewers around the workshop she has set up to teach this traditional craft which has even featured on the modern catwalks of Milan.
Chinese modernization is socialist modernization pursued under the leadership of the Communist Party of China. It contains elements that are common to the modernization processes of all countries, but it has features that are unique to the Chinese context.
Chinese modernization is characterized by the following features: it is the modernization of a huge population, the modernization of common prosperity for all, the modernization of material and cultural-ethical advancement, the modernization of harmony between humanity and nature, and the modernization of peaceful development.
