From Peking University graduate to guardian of Tibetan heritage, Drolma's "Dropenling" workshop is rewriting the future of Xizang's handicrafts. By training rural women in ancient skills like Thangka appliqué, she's turned cultural preservation into economic empowerment – with artisans earning up to 40,000 yuan a month. This is the story of how one woman's homecoming became a lifeline for many, proving tradition can thrive when woven with opportunity.
