In 2006, the art was listed as a national-level intangible cultural heritage, and in 2011, Wang was granted the title of provincial-level inheritor of sugar figures.
"Fewer than 100 people in China can blow sugar figures, and there are few young female inheritors," she said. "It is not easy to innovate during the process of passing on the intangible cultural heritage, but I will hold on."
"Sugar figures are not only a precious childhood memory but also bring me lots of happiness and joy in the creation process," she said. "I also hope to help more people learn about the art and the traditional culture."
