"I can finally make money with my own hands." For Muratz, a 21-year-old Kazakh girl, this is one of her proudest things. Mulazi fell ill when he was a child, his physical development was affected, he never went to school, and he could only eat at home. But in 2018, she was lucky enough to meet Wu Yinbilik, a Mongolian embroiderer, the person who allowed her to work and earn money at her doorstep.

In Bole City, Bortala Mongolian Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang, Wu Yinbilik is a famous female power. With the skills she learned from her grandmother since childhood, she began to make traditional Mongolian costumes and hats, embroidered handkerchiefs, trinkets, etc. since 2003, and then set up her own company. At present, her products not only enter the major tourist attractions in Xinjiang, but also sell to Mongolia, Kazakhstan and European and American countries through the "Yiwu Shopping" website and Xinjiang ports.

With the rapid development of Tourism in China, remote Xinjiang has also ushered in more and more tourists, wuyinbilik handicrafts are in short supply, and the output cannot meet the market demand. With the support of local government departments, she began to organize centralized training for rural women in some townships, using her spare time to make handicrafts, and then she concentrated on recycling and sales.

"Most rural women in Xinjiang have a certain degree of embroidery skills, and the styles of women of different ethnic groups are not the same, and the products are rich and diverse." Wu Yinbilik said she was satisfied with the craftsmanship and style of her sisters of all ethnic groups, and that everyone had the opportunity to lift the family out of poverty and increase their income.

In June 2018, Wu Yinbilik's first "satellite factory" was established in The Village of Bed bragg in Xiaoyingpan Town, Bole City. This kind of production plant set up in the village, relying on the original factory equipment and management, allows farmers and herders to work without going far away.

Luo Linghui, head of Bade Bragg Village and first secretary of the village, said: "Our village is a mixed Mongolian, Han and Uyghur village, with a large number of migrant workers, and 60% of the 260 left-behind villagers are women. After the factory was built, 70 women were employed at the doorstep of their homes, and they could take the materials home for processing when the farmers were busy. ”

Tohti Guli, a Uighur woman, works in embroidery at the factory and earns more than 1,500 yuan a month. "I can get a salary and take care of my family, and my family is very supportive." She also plans to learn to weave carpets, get a certificate of skill, and become a training teacher with apprentices.

In October of that year, Wu Yinbilik's second "satellite factory" was built in the village of Jiegede, Utubha Bhag, Bole City, where Muraz was one of the 100 women employed in the factory.

"Make a tea coaster to earn 1 yuan, sew a mobile phone bag to earn 5 cents, although I move slowly, but I can also earn 1,000 yuan a month." Mulazi said. Because of her salary, Muraz felt hopeful and happy in life, and at the end of 2018, she owned a smartphone and bought a bicycle and new clothes.

Wu Yinbilik said: "In fact, I am the biggest beneficiary, to drive everyone to employment, improve the company's output, this is called mutual help, sisters of all ethnic groups should be 'hand in hand'." ”

In 2018, WuYinbilik's company sold more than one million yuan, built 2 "satellite factories" and 8 professional cooperatives, and led more than 600 women of all ethnic groups in 3 townships of Bole City to achieve employment and income.
