An 80s-born Translator Who Left the City to Find Himself in Lacquer Art |《Return》Ep 1_Li Junfeng

Описание: Is it possible to find true freedom by returning to your roots? Meet Li Junfeng, a former translator who left Southeast Asia to master the ancient art of Great Lacquer (Daqi) in the remote mountains of Yunnan.
In this episode of 《Return》, we visit Li's "Wild Lacquer Studio." After encountering the eternal glow of a centuries-old lacquer piece in 2012, his life changed forever. Now, he leads his village in reviving a craft that is not just an art form, but a spiritual practice.
As he says: “Wildness is not reckless; it demands 100% devotion.”
