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.

Qumarleb County is located in the source region of the Yellow River, with an average altitude of over 4,500 meters. Children here lead a nomadic life with their families on expansive grasslands far from county seats and towns. Through years of efforts by local government, free preschool education has been extended to pasturing areas. Just around their home, children have chance to be taught by kindergarten teachers from town seats. Since 2022, 15 kindergartens with heating and illumination equipment powered by photovoltaic systems have been built in Qumarleb County by CHN Energy. Up to now, more than 700 children in distant pasturing areas have been recruited to these kindergartens near their living places. (Xinhua/Zhang Hongxiang)
