16-year-old rural girl Fubao learned clay sculpting from her grandma for a decade. When she went to the city to live with her aunt, her cousin mocked her for “being embarrassing with mud,” and even the auntie next door advised her to “find a husband quickly.” But she treasured the discarded clay, staying up all night to create *Hundred Kids Celebrating Spring*—the clay dolls had visible eyelashes, and the old peddler’s pipe even had a “tobacco stub.” At the county cultural center’s intangible heritage exhibition, judges squatted by the display case, exclaiming, “Are these clay figures alive?!” When the old village chief rushed in with a newspaper shouting, “Fubao’s in the county paper!” All the neighbors who once laughed at her crowded the aunt’s doorstep, even her cousin blushed and asked to learn. Fubao揉turned folk craftsmanship into the wind of the 1980s, showing everyone: the simplest mud holds the warmest essence of life.
