In 2016, Chen opened a training workshop, where his wife taught participants embroidery of the Qiang ethnic group for free.
So far, the workshop has been held three times, each time with 30 participants.
After training, seven to eight of the participants work at Chen’s clothes shop and make clothes along with Zhu Xiuqiong, earning between 2,000 and 3,000 yuan each month. Others get embroidery work from Zhu and complete them at home, earning nearly 700 to 800 yuan per month.
Currently, Chen is considering marketing the Qiang ethnic costume, especially the Qiang embroidery, nationwide to let more people know about them and offer a chance to purchase them.
”I will hire dozens of disabled people to help with sales,” Chen said.
