Guo Li, a university graduate majoring in fine art, returned to Qietuo Township, Xide County, Sichuan Province to start a business, empowering rural development with art.

She inherited the three-generation craftsmanship of making tofu pudding, and founded a featured tofu pudding restaurant focusing on ecological and fresh ingredients, securing a steady foothold riding on the wave of rural revitalization.

When facing operational difficulties, she gave play to her professional advantages by picking up her paintbrush again to create artworks. She also deeply engaged in the ancient Yi indigo dyeing technique of her hometown, integrating traditional dyeing art with ingenious design to bring new vitality to the age-old craft.

With passion, she rooted herself in her hometown and pursued innovation. On her path of rural entrepreneurship, the fragrance of tofu pudding and the beauty of indigo dyeing bloom gloriously among the green mountains.
