To her, porcelain is not a product – it's a belief. She has been crafting it for over 50 years and is one of the few artisans in China's Taiwan region still dedicated to the traditional black-glazed porcelain technique.

Somehow, that one sentence says it all. Follow CGTN digital reporter Wang Tao at the 21st International Cultural Industries Fair as he visits the exhibition area for China's Taiwan region, where he meets Pai peng yin – the "Porcelain Granny."
