Ding Lanying: Helping Yi women embroider bright future

China Daily  

"In the future, I will inherit the embroidering skills, and I will help more women embroiderers get jobs and/or start their businesses. We will use our fingertips to create happy, prosperous lives," says Ding Lanying, a delegate to the 13th National Women's Congress of China. Ding was born into an ethnic Yi family in Hongtupo, a town in Nanhua, a county in Chuxiong Yi Autonomous Prefecture, in Southwest China's Yunnan Province. In 2021, she established Nanhua Qicai Yi Embroidery Cultural Communication Co., Ltd. During the past couple of years, the company's Yi embroideries have been exported to many countries and regions. In September 2023, some creations featuring Yi embroidery, produced by Ding's company, wowed spectators during Milan Fashion Week, in Italy.
