Bo Guangxiang shows one of the Dai braodswords he made in Manlong Village of Mengla County, Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture, southwest China's Yunnan Province, Nov. 16, 2019. Living in Manlong Village, a traditional Dai community, 66-year-old Bo Guangxiang is the head of a four-generation family. Bo's family has thrived by doing businesses based on a number of traditional Dai handicrafts: Bo himself is a locally renowned Dai broadsword artisan while other family members make Dai-style clothes and hats. The family also owns two hectares of rubber trees and more than one hectare of land for leasing. (Xinhua/Yang Zongyou)
