When Li was preparing for her graduation exhibition at the Cambridge School of Art under the United Kingdom's Anglia Ruskin University, her desire to delve deeper into nyushu and bring it into contemporary art led her to Puwei island for field research.

"Setting foot on the rich land of Jiangyong, I finally understood why so many nyushu songs celebrate nature," Li says.

Growing up in a small town between cities and rural areas, she described herself as "a bridge between the broader modern world and rural traditions".

"Women's inner worlds are incredibly powerful; when others connect with their hearts, there's a brightening effect," she says.

"Nyushu isn't about external confrontation. Instead, it celebrates the beauty of quiet communication among women."
