Like most of the villagers, Luo used to be a migrant worker in China’s coastal cities. To spend more time with her family, she     1    (return) to Haima village in 2012 and opened a batik and embroidery (刺绣) store.

Though many local women know how to make batiks and embroideries, few of them make     2     living from it and most work as migrant workers. To help these women stay in     3    (they)hometown, Luo decided to open a cooperative and hire more people to industrialize Miao batiks and embroideries.

At first, none of the villagers trusted Luo because no one thought it was possible     4    (make)money from batiks and embroideries. Luo     5    (eventual)got an order from a large e-commerce company,     6     helped her earn 400,000 yuan. The deal persuaded many people to join Luo’s cooperative.

To innovate and improve batik and embroidery techniques, Luo offered free     7    (train) to embroiderers.

In the future, the cooperative will continue to improve its product design by introducing     9    (profession)teams and turn Haima village’s Miao embroideries     10     cultural and creative products combining tradition and fashion.
