While more and more young people leave their home towns to hunt for jobs in large cities, 30-year-old Feng Liyuan has chosen to stay put in Jingdezhen and carve out a big career.

Located in east China's Jiangxi province, Jingdezhen has been famous for its delicate porcelain since ancient times, becoming regarded as the national "porcelain capital." Born and growing up in the small city, and under its daily influence, Feng is passionately attached to porcelain ever since her childhood.

Ten years ago, she graduated from the Jingdezhen Ceramic Institute, majoring in English. She registered an online shop and began to sell porcelain handicrafts. Half-a-year later, she opened a brick-and-mortar shop in a downtown area, becoming one of a few female bosses in this trade.

Recalling her early entrepreneurial days, Feng stressed it was not always plain sailing. "My mother gave me 10,000 yuan as start-up capital. She thought I would probably lose it and once that happened, I would definitely give up and find a new job, like registering for the civil servant examination."

However, the young woman was determined. With the 10,000 yuan, she bought a camera and an electric motorcycle to photograph the porcelain handcrafts she was developing and do the delivery between customers and shops.

As the ancient city struggles to preserve its world-famous traditional craftsmanship in the modern age, it has been difficult to find ways to pass on the unique craft from generation to generation. The market competition is fierce, and it is not easy for a small shop like Feng's to survive without a good operational mode.
