Female, Yi ethnicity, born in June 1965 in Zhaojue County, Sichuan Province. A national representative bearer of Woolen Textile and Felting Craftsmanship (Yi Woolen Textile and Felting Craftsmanship), a fifth-batch national intangible cultural heritage project. From December 1972 to December 1988, she learned Yi woolen textile techniques at home in her native place from her mother. From December 1988 to September 1999, she studied and practiced Yi woolen textile techniques in Laluo She, Laluo Village, Kuyi Township, Zhaojue County, and carried out transmission activities for Yi woolen textile and felting craftsmanship. From September 1999 to October 2015, she taught apprentices at a Yi woolen textile and felting workshop on Renmin Middle Road, Xincheng Town, Zhaojue County, and now has ten disciples. She has a thorough command of the entire Yi woolen textile and felting process: her twisted yarn is uniform in thickness, her setting of warp and weft threads is smooth and well reasoned, and her making of wala, a Yi woolen cloak, is exquisite and meticulous, with fine stitching. Her white Yi wala works embody the characteristics of local costume.
