Shimmering Splendor

She is unexpectedly seconded back to her hometown of Boshan, where she must keep the family’s centuries-old glassmaking furnace burning. Her grandfather is aging, the craft is in danger of dying out, and family feuds and industry troubles keep piling up. The immense responsibility of protecting this intangible cultural heritage falls on her shoulders. On one side are disagreements with her family; on the other, the struggle for traditional craftsmanship to survive. Counterfeits, public opinion, and competition all come crashing down on her. The road is hard, but she never considers giving up. She breaks free from old ways of thinking, taking glass beyond tradition and blending it with ceramics and beauty products. Together with her companions, she resolves old grievances and overcomes obstacles, finding the time-honored craft a new lease on life through passion and dedication. From being ignored to shining brilliantly, from a quiet low point to a flourishing revival, she uses her dedication and enthusiasm to make the faint glimmer of Boshan glass shine with a moving force in her ordinary hometown.
