In 2009, Wu was awarded the title of inheritor of the project of Chuanjiang boatmen work songs and began to pass on her knowledge and teach students. And she has also established in 2008 a singing team of the Chuanjiang work songs, consisting of more than 10 residents aged from 50 to 60, to perform and rehearse in their community. Zhang Suzhen, 66, said she joined Wu's singing team because the Chuanjiang work songs sound so uplifting.
