The workshop is about 100 square meters, with nearly 30 sets of sewing machines, sewing machines and sewing machines. Wu Chunyan said she was making 300 sets of clothes for a clothing company in Mianyang.

Chun Yan garment factory now has more than 10 workers, all of whom are women in the vicinity. Although many of them are "novice", they are very hard-working, and often work overtime to catch up until 9 p.m. Sometimes they did not finish their clothes, and they took the trouble to redo them until they were qualified.

Free run Qiang embroidery training course

Wu Chunyan is 33 years old. The earthquake caused her house to be buried and farmland destroyed. After the earthquake, Wu Chunyan, who had taken lessons in the village for a small class, came to be a substitute teacher in the elementary school of Chen Jiaba. During the class, Wu Chunyan saw those peasant women who were similar to their own, sighing and sighing, saying that although they began to loan new houses, they lost their land. What would they do to earn their living in the future? What should they do to repair their housing loans? Whenever this happens, Wu Chunyan would take some of these land lost sisters to do something to help them build up the impulse of life confidence.

What did Wu Chunyan do for a long time? He decided to do something about the inheritance of Qiang culture. She went to Beichuan to learn Qiang embroidery techniques in the town of Lei Gu, and planned to set up a training course for Qiang embroidery in Chen Jiaba. To this end, she borrowed money, spent 140 thousand yuan to buy the small building she currently lives in, and started the Qiang embroidery training class in September last year. The first batch of trainees in the training class, 50, were nearby farmers who lost their land. The cost of learning Qiang and Qiang songs and dances, language and so on was saved by Wu Chunyan from his teeth.

Mo Qiang, a Qiang embroidery master in Maoxian, was moved by Wu Chunyan's persistence. He came to Chen Jiaba Township, and taught his Qiang embroidery skills to the students without reservation.

Thousands of needles and 10000 lines sew out new life.

With the improvement of Qiang embroidery skills, enterprises gradually came to visit and customize Qiang costumes. "The largest number of orders we have received is to make 500 sets of Qiang clothing for a unit in Pingwu within 10 days. The time is heavy, but we have done it and won the credit." Wu Chunyan said.

Later, Wu Chunyan found that the way to make Qiang embroidery simply was too narrow. She has the idea of integrating Qiang embroidery into people's everyday clothes in cooperation with large garment factories in the city. In July this year, when Wu Chunyan arrived in Chengdu, he got acquainted with the head of a garment factory in Mianyang. After the exchange, he finally reached a cooperation agreement.

　　 Chen Jiaba township government heard that Wu Chunyan and clothing factory cooperation, after giving strong support in the capital. At the same time, with the help of the co operative garment factory, Chunyan garment factory finally managed. Wu Chunyan believes that garment factories will develop better and better in the future.
