Zhou Xionghao is a craftsman of Chinese porcelain in China's porcelain capital, Jingdezhen, Jiangxi province.

After graduating from Jingdezhen Ceramic Institute, Zhou founded a studio to make accessories. Now, Zhou's studio has become a company with more than 30 employees and annual sales of more than 5 million yuan ($765,000).

Porcelain is not only a simple material, but also a Chinese cultural language, which can become cups and plates as well as even be worn, allowing more people to embrace and appreciate Chinese culture in a fashionable way, Zhou said.
