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.
