At Sonam Qoipei's workshop of handmade horse bag, various types of horse bags are neatly placed on the cabinets. The horse bag is made of cowhide, which is waterproof. Its making skill was listed as an intangible cultural heritage of Tibet in 2018. Sonam Qoipei, 61, developed a keen interest in making horse bags when he was a child, after he saw the adults in his village riding on horses with the bags. At the age of 21, he studied the craft of making horse bags from a local craftsman. For now, he has become the inheritor of the craft. The process of making horse bags involves dozens of steps, so the production is time-consuming and the output is low, which has hindered its development and inheritance.

Zhaxi Nyima has been working in the field of power supply for about 30 years. In 2016, he took the training class and got the certificate, becoming the first person qualified of doing live-wire work in high altitude area in State Grid Tibet Electric Power Company. Live-wire operation is an important technical measure to ensure reliable power supply, but it is also a very dangerous and hard work. No matter in hot summer or cold winter, as long as there is a task, Zhaxi Nyima will climb on the high-voltage wire more than 10 meters above the ground and solve the problems. In 2018, Tashi Nyima won the title of "Tibetan Craftsman" in recognition of his professional skills. (Xinhua/Jigme Dorje)
