5. Video Appreciation 2: The Thousand Years Old Kiln Fire in Jingdezhen 4

Jingdezhen is the most outstanding representative of Chinese ceramics, and the porcelain created here once influenced the lives of all humanity, earning China respect in the world. Here, people from different countries communicate and exchange ideas around ceramics. In 1995, Li Jianshen established a ceramic art exchange center in Sanbao Village, Jingdezhen, hoping that ceramic artists from all over the world would have the opportunity to experience China, experience ceramic culture, and engage in creative exchanges. Karakachi, 67, from the United States, loves Chinese traditional culture and became good friends with Professor Shi Yuren's daughter-in-law accidentally, and held a ceramic art exhibition called "Daoqi".
