His father didn’t want him to become a silversmith, fearing the career is laborious with meager income. Now, Pan Shixue's shop receives substantial orders regularly, alleviating the financial concerns of the family. He hopes his children will follow his journey to be a silversmiths in the future, continuing to preserve the unique 400-year silver crafting skills.

"I am committed to showcase the rich culture of the Miao People to the world through our distinctive Miao silversmithing craft. The goal is to prevent the unique Miao craftsmanship from fading away, a skill that has hidden deeply in the mountains of Guizhou for thousands of years!”
