Pan Shixue could never find a job he liked, not until he returned to his hometown of Maliao village in Guizhou, China. There, he rediscovered the villagers’ history of making silver jewelry. Years of honing the craft led Pan to open the village’s first silversmith workshop - today it’s home to over 600 silversmiths. We learn how one man’s dream brought life back again to an entire town.

What a beautiful story... I would love to see the rebirth of arts and crafts all over the world, turning old towns into cultural and historical sanctuaries. Cities have grown too much, we need to start rethinking the way we live and our meaning of “progress”.

I was just thinking the same thing watching this video. Feeling so inspired by it. And yah, humanity definitely needs to rethink how we live in this world. So amazing that he completely reinvigorated an entire village!

I like the cities and think humans should continue moving forward. We should honor the past but not get stuck in it. A good balance of both is best.

@joacoosi 2 года назад

@@lamThinker but that’s the point, what’s “moving forward”? Who determines what progress is? Building bigger and bigger cities with smaller and smaller appartments? Full of traffic, contamination and fewer trees and plants? I think there’s a flawed concept of progress that took us to very unhealthy lifestyles for us and also destructive to the environment. For me, progress from now on should be rethinking what we really need to live and took all the amazing knowledge and technology we have, to redesign how we live, with quality of life and sustainability as a goal, and not just “growth”. Going forward sometimes means stopping and taking another road.

It might take a village to raise a child, but it takes one man to keep a village alive!

I like the story, but I don't like the warm hue filter applied to the video. The filter makes it difficult to see the real Maliao village.

@achyif1 2 года назад

the hue makes it look super smoggy yeah

They should make a website and accept custom job. With their skills for custom jewelry ordered by people who send in their own design for a custom jewelry, they would make so much money! I would order lol
