Deep in the mountains, an ancient village weaves its soul in red. The Red Yao people speak through needle and thread, painting their landscapes and legends onto fabric. When the Clothes-Drying Festival arrives, vibrant garments hang from every window – warding off pests, celebrating the harvest and carrying generations of faith in every stitch. CGTN host Julian Waghann and Filipina singer Eliza Arce step into Huangluo Yao Village, joining master embroiderer Pan Jifeng to feel the rhythm of the needle, thread by thread, and discover the color-poetry and living heritage behind the iconic Yao attire.
