Upon commencing the project, An and her collaborators meticulously crafted a sample mural — portraying a young girl tenderly offering Tibetan butter tea — to gauge villagers' reactions at the Cha village.
It resonated profoundly with the locals, setting the stage for what would evolve into a two-month mural project sprawling across 2,000 square meters and on walls of 20 households. "The villagers were very excited when they saw the first sample, and felt that it upgraded their own living conditions so they gladly accepted it," An said.
She said that during the painting process and even after its completion, local residents and tourists would visit specifically to see the artwork. "There were even some famous internet bloggers who came to visit and shared their experiences on social media," she said, adding that it allowed more people to see Cha village.
"Embracing the majestic landscapes and the profound cultural heritage of Xizang, I find inspiration in the warm embrace of the Tibetan people, whose genuine hospitality and cultural richness fueled my creative spirit," she said.
"If there is an opportunity, I hope to create at more villages, allowing more people to experience the diverse and colorful aspects of Xizang."
