Jade from the East

A Uighur boy from the fourth generation, Ikeshan Yilixia is good at picking up jade but not good at carving. The grandparents and granddaughters from Nanjing, who came from the "Yangpai" carving family, came to the Kashgar region of Xinjiang to find a good piece of jade to participate in the jade carving competition. Since then, the fate of the two parties has been intertwined because of the jade. Ikeshan Yilixia came to Nanjing with his grandfather and grandson, and grew up from ignorance. He not only became a national arts and crafts artist and won the competition, but also realized the inheritance of jade carving culture. Through "intangible feelings, jointly drawing borders", we have deepened ethnic integration, presented the beautiful results of culturally nourishing borders, and jointly built a high-quality "Belt and Road" with people-to-people exchanges as a link.
