Influenced by his family, Wang gained a practical understanding and fundamental skills of the craft during his middle school years. His decision to fully dedicate himself to it came after witnessing Li brocade professionals conducting lessons at his college in Hainan.

"I saw the charm and significance of the art, which came naturally to me with my previous knowledge," he says.

After graduating in 2021, Wang sought an apprenticeship from a provincial inheritor in Hainan.

"My parents were supportive and believed that men could learn the craft," he says, adding that he also believes the inheritance of Li brocade shouldn't be limited by gender in the new era.
