---

Zhu Zheqin, also known as Dadawa, is
a well-known Chinese singer, artist, philanthropist, and entrepreneur.
She has made significant contributions to Chinese culture, not only in
her internationally distributed music albums, but also as the 2009
Chinese Goodwill Ambassador to the United Nations Development Program.
In her travels throughout China she met many local artisans whose work
had no platform from which to reach the wider world.


This
well-illustrated book tells her story, and that of the KANJIAN Creation
design label she founded in 2009, through which she has discovered and
encouraged young Chinese craftsmen and provided them with new
opportunities and exposure. In her work to sustain and develop local
talent, she has been central to the reshaping of the Chinese aesthetic
of contemporary design and culture.
