An aerial drone photo taken on April 25, 2023 shows the Mogao Caves in Dunhuang, northwest China's Gansu Province. Around 2,000 years ago, Dunhuang was a key hub on the ancient Silk Road.

Known for its breathtaking landscapes and historical significance, Dunhuang holds a treasure trove of ancient Buddhist relics and art. In recent years, Dunhuang has leveraged its cultural tourism resources and vigorously attracted visitors and scholars from around the world who are keen to delve into its historical significance and witness its modern cultural revival.

Liang Zuying, 48, hails from Wuying Village, a Miao ethnic-minority hamlet that is hidden deep in the towering mountains straddling Guangxi and Guizhou. In the past, the impassable mountains and rugged landscape rendered locals extremely poor. Due to their traditional views and poor family conditions, many parents did not send their daughters to school. Liang and many other women in the village received little education and could neither read nor speak Mandarin, a major impediment that isolated them from the outside world. From March 2020, local authorities initiated a training program in Wuying Village to teach ethnic women Mandarin, in a bid to remove language barriers between them and people beyond the village, while improving their communication and vocational skills. So far, more than 1,000 Mandarin train
