"It was difficult at first. Teacher Zhang patiently showed me the skills, starting from making the simplest coaster. Now I can make four to five coasters in one day," Ma said.

Zhang Jing comes to the village to receive products almost every month and pay the villagers wages. When some products don't meet the standards, Zhang would still give some money to the makers as encouragement.
