To expand her own business, Zhang Juanjuan and her colleagues have designed practical, environment-friendly, and fashionable batik products. Meanwhile, she has been teaching batik-making skills to other villagers, helping them increase their incomes through batik products.
She hopes batik of the Miao ethnic group could be known by more people through the internet and inherited by more young people.
