Huang Shou-kun, a lacquer artist from Taiwan, has become a recognized inheritor of the intangible Chinese cultural heritage in Fujian province. [All Photos provided to chinadaily.com.cn]



Working from his studio in Luoyuan, Huang, 45, immerses himself in rural life. He is a master of lacquer techniques, creating art pieces and offering hands-on workshops.



Lacquerware, an ancient craft, involves using the natural sap of lacquer trees to coat and embellish objects.



Huang began his career in lacquer restoration at a museum in Taiwan. "To master lacquerware, I trained at the museum and later stayed on as a teacher," he said.

Inspired by an ethnic drinking custom in Taiwan that celebrates unity through shared drinking vessels, Huang collaborated with a friend to create lianbei, a lacquer-embellished wooden sculpture featuring two cups carved from opposite ends of a single piece of wood. The design requires two people to drink simultaneously, symbolizing eternal friendship.

Twenty-one years after the switch being flicked on at the world's largest hydroelectric power project at the Three Gorges Dam in Central China's Hubei province, millions of terawatts of green energy has been generated, the threat of devastating floods along the Yangtze River has been reduced and navigation on Asia's longest waterway has been made easier.

In order for this megaproject to take place, the dam would result in the water level along certain stretches of the Yangtze rising by as much as 100 meters, displacing as many as 1.3 million people.

Resettling these communities, often just a few hundred meters from their previous homes, has been an equally monumental task that, with subsidies and investment, has added to the benefits already created by the dam and power station.



Children play at a small square in Xujiachong village in Yichang, Hubei province, in October 2022. The village, only 500 meters away from the Three Gorges Dam, is the new home for residents of three villages that were submerged by the dam's reservoir. Homestays and folk crafts have turned the village into a popular stop for tourists visiting the dam. ZHANG GUORONG/FOR CHINA DAILY
