Video Player Close HANGZHOU, Feb. 27 (Xinhua) -- Wen Shishan, 57, wandered in a bamboo grove, holding a machete in search of ideal materials to make oil-paper umbrellas, an old craft dating back to over a millennium ago. Situated in Hangzhou, capital of east China's Zhejiang Province, Wen's workshop boasts more than 800,000 fans on the popular Chinese short-video platform Douyin. The digital renaissance of the ancient handicraft can be traced in part to Zhang Jianhua, a short video maker born in the 1990s. In 2018, Zhang began to help Wen film the production process of the oil-paper umbrellas, driven by a fierce reluctance to let the fine art vanish into thin air.

"For the first time in my over 30 years of making the umbrellas, so many people are taking an interest in the craft. The life of craftsmen like me changed beyond recognition ... » Learn More about Across China: Rapid-fire Douyin videos revive faded craft glory

Hong Kong Arts Festival returns to the city with a combination of online, live and recorded productions, including local gems that resonate with the current realities. Rebecca Lo reports. Hosting a cultural festival at a time when much of the world is still grappling with the adversities caused by a pandemic is challenging, to say the least. However, the Hong Kong Arts Festival team are ready to roll out the 49th edition of their annual show and give what it takes to make it a success. The festival, which kicks off tomorrow, has seen a few scheduling changes and cancellations already. The local government relaxed the COVID-19-related restrictions on performance venues only a few days ago, which meant the festival opening concert by Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra, planned as a live show and subsequently turned into a free online event, is now back in the theater as a live performance with simultaneous online streaming. Rescheduling, cancellations and having to transfer live shows ... » Learn More about Reflections on strange times
