Two "culture inheritors" of traditional Chinese medicine taught young workers their TCM production techniques on Jan 9 at the Kunming Chinese Medicine Factory Co in the Kunming Hi-Tech Zone, Kunming, Yunnan Province.

Liu Ling and Zhao Guizhi, two retired experienced professionals from the Kunming Chinese Medicine Factory, were selected to be culture inheritors of TCM in Yunnan because of their rich experience and exquisite techniques to produce TCM.

The culture inheritors were selected by Yunnan's Provincial Department of Culture. Those nominated reflect excellent skills and a broad knowledge about the intangible cultural heritage of Yunnan. They have taken up the mission to carry forward what they know to more people, especially the next generation, by showing off the techniques and by training young workers.
