Nearby, rows of rustic pots wait to be packed and sent across the country.</p>\n<p> For more than three decades, Yu has been molding more than just clay. He is the last master potter in Yanshantou, once a thriving hub whose abundant clay and firewood supported generations of artisans.</p>\n<p> The craft of earthenware here dates back to the Shang and Zhou dynasties (c.16th century-256 BC) and flourished for centuries. In the 1960s and 1970s, dozens of family-run kilns lined the area, producing pottery that was sold across the province.</p>\n<p> Yu embarked on his journey into pottery in the 1990s, when modernization had already pushed the local industry into decline.</p>\n<p> In 1990, he inherited the craft from his foster father and foster brother &mdash; both pottery craftsmen themselves. Beyond his enthusiasm about the art and natural talent, he also felt a responsibility to live up to his family&#39;s expectations.</p>\n<p> &quot;What my foster father told me struck my heart,&quot; Yu recalled. &quot;He said people wouldn&#39;t be able to find a pot like ours if our generation failed to carry it forward.&quot;</p>\n<p> That May, Yu built his first kiln. What followed was practice and perseverance for over three decades.</p>\n<p> Pottery making is a demanding art. The process involves more than a dozen steps, from selection and refining of clay to shaping, detailing, and firing &mdash; each done by a single person with patience, precision, and a readiness to accept failure.</p>\n<p> &quot;Making a pot is not just about the technique. It is about experience and feelings,&quot; Yu said. &quot;Knowing when the clay is ready and when the fire is right is the hardest part. That takes years of practice.&quot;</p>\n<p> A single kiln load, which can hold 300 to 600 pieces, takes at least 20 days to complete. The firing alone can last a whole night, with Yu keeping watch beside the flames.</p>\n<p> For him, firing is to open a &quot;blind box&quot;. Warped and broken pieces scattered around his courtyard are reminders of the cost of mastery. Yet it is in failure that Yu often finds inspiration.</p>\n<p> The most satisfactory experience came when an early, high-temperature firing experiment failed and ruined most of the batch. &quot;Still, two pieces came out with natural glazes &mdash; one chicken-fat yellow, the other sky-blue. I&#39;ve kept them,&quot; he said. &quot;That&#39;s when I saw hope. Even failure can create beauty.&quot;</p>\n<p> Over the years, Yu has refined his techniques and his designs, blending history with modern needs. While assisting a museum in the city of Jingmen, Hubei, in restoring cultural relics, he deepened his understanding of pottery&#39;s cultural roots and expanded his artistic vision.</p>\n<p> The market tells what people need. Combining traditional craftsmanship with contemporary tastes, Yu began producing high-fired, unglazed teaware. &quot;Customer feedback also pushed me to improve,&quot; he added. &quot;I&#39;d take notes, go back and fix it. That&#39;s how my pots become more delicate over time.&quot;</p>\n<p> Rooted in the ancient summer farming practices, Yanshantou teapots are prized for their rough charm, porous texture, and cooling properties. These are ideal for brewing and storing tea that stays refreshingly cold for days. Some customers also display them as garden decorations.</p>\n<p> Yu&#39;s handmade, unglazed teapots have gained popularity in the market. But production is seasonal.</p>\n<p> Due to the freezing conditions in winter, he works only nine months a year, producing up to 600 teapots a month and selling more than 5,000 annually. Today, his workshop is reaching customers through e-commerce platforms, offering a full range of rustic pottery, from teapots and crockery to vases and planters.</p>\n<p> Yu has a team of more than ten practitioners and another three apprentices. Still, the future of the craft weighs on him as it demands mastery of all processes and long-term practice.</p>\n<p> &quot;I hope this ancient craft endures and thrives in the future,&quot; Yu said. &quot;While keeping the old methods alive, we should also explore new forms and colors that suit modern tastes so that the tradition can continue to live and breathe.&quot;</p>\n<p> <span>Contact the writers at guoyanqi@chinadaily.com.cn</span></p>\n<p></p>",

That takes years of practice.&quot;</p>\n<p> A single kiln load, which can hold 300 to 600 pieces, takes at least 20 days to complete. The firing alone can last a whole night, with Yu keeping watch beside the flames.</p>\n<p> For him, firing is to open a &quot;blind box&quot;. Warped and broken pieces scattered around his courtyard are reminders of the cost of mastery. Yet it is in failure that Yu often finds inspiration.</p>\n<p> The most satisfactory experience came when an early, high-temperature firing experiment failed and ruined most of the batch. &quot;Still, two pieces came out with natural glazes &mdash; one chicken-fat yellow, the other sky-blue. I&#39;ve kept them,&quot; he said. &quot;That&#39;s when I saw hope. Even failure can create beauty.&quot;</p>\n<p> Over the years, Yu has refined his techniques and his designs, blending history with modern needs. While assisting a museum in the city of Jingmen, Hubei, in restoring cultural relics, he deepened his understanding of pottery&#39;s cultural roots and expanded his artistic vision.</p>\n<p> The market tells what people need. Combining traditional craftsmanship with contemporary tastes, Yu began producing high-fired, unglazed teaware. &quot;Customer feedback also pushed me to improve,&quot; he added. &quot;I&#39;d take notes, go back and fix it. That&#39;s how my pots become more delicate over time.&quot;</p>\n<p> Rooted in the ancient summer farming practices, Yanshantou teapots are prized for their rough charm, porous texture, and cooling properties. These are ideal for brewing and storing tea that stays refreshingly cold for days. Some customers also display them as garden decorations.</p>\n<p> Yu&#39;s handmade, unglazed teapots have gained popularity in the market. But production is seasonal.</p>\n<p> Due to the freezing conditions in winter, he works only nine months a year, producing up to 600 teapots a month and selling more than 5,000 annually. Today, his workshop is reaching customers through e-commerce platforms, offering a full range of rustic pottery, from teapots and crockery to vases and planters.</p>\n<p> Yu has a team of more than ten practitioners and another three apprentices. Still, the future of the craft weighs on him as it demands mastery of all processes and long-term practice.</p>\n<p> &quot;I hope this ancient craft endures and thrives in the future,&quot; Yu said. &quot;While keeping the old methods alive, we should also explore new forms and colors that suit modern tastes so that the tradition can continue to live and breathe.&quot;</p>\n<p> <span>Contact the writers at guoyanqi@chinadaily.com.cn</span></p>\n<p></p>",

There, he first studied the Chinese language, completed his research and graduated in 2015 before heading home with a determination to contribute to his country&#39;s growth.</p>\n<p> Speaking at the first China-Africa Human Rights Seminar in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, late last month, Lokongo reflected on the contradictions of history. He recalled how former United States president Joe Biden once visited an Angolan museum, where Africans were baptized before being forced onto slave ships.</p>\n<p> &quot;Baptism means liberation, yet those newly baptized were put into bondage,&quot; he said. &quot;That contradiction is symbolic of today, where Western powers preach human rights while perpetuating new forms of control.&quot;</p>\n<p> For Lokongo, the memory of that contradiction &mdash; liberation preached, yet bondage imposed &mdash; illustrates why many Africans remain skeptical of Western narratives on human rights.</p>\n<p> By contrast, he said, China presents Africa with a different model. &quot;China has never colonized any African country,&quot; he said. &quot;It offers partnership grounded in solidarity, experience-sharing and win-win cooperation.&quot;</p>\n<p> Lokongo was among dozens of African voices gathered for the seminar, where officials and experts discussed how the continent could redefine human rights in ways that reflect its own priorities. For them, the debate was not about whether Africa needs human rights &mdash; but how human rights are achieved.</p>\n<p> Crispin Kugiza Kaheru, a member of the Uganda Human Rights Commission, said Africa had long been subjected to one-sided interpretations.</p>\n<p> &quot;For too many years, human rights have been weaponized,&quot; he said. &quot;They&#39;ve been used to justify sanctions, embargoes and interference in sovereign matters.&quot;</p>\n<p> Kaheru said China offered a different lens, one that ties rights to dignity through development.</p>\n<p> &quot;You can talk about modernization and still keep your identity, your culture, your norms. You don&#39;t have to import cultures to thrive,&quot; he said. He praised China&#39;s people-centered approach, which emphasizes subsistence and livelihoods rather than abstract ideals.</p>\n<p> This was echoed by Mohamed El Hacen Lebatt, former foreign minister of Mauritania, who said Africa&#39;s most urgent rights are tied to daily needs, development, food, healthcare, education and access to technology. &quot;The right to development is the human right Africa cannot ignore,&quot; he said.</p>\n<p> While comparing partners, he pointed to China&#39;s record of development, for instance, building of airports, hospitals and universities across the continent. &quot;We compare the deeds, and China has delivered. While Africa remains open to all partnerships, China is the most helpful, most decisive and most efficient in supporting Africa.&quot;</p>\n<p> History, several speakers said, continues to shape today&#39;s choices. Boniface Lezona, deputy director of the National Human Rights Commission of the Republic of Congo, said China, like Africa, had endured colonization and emerged stronger.</p>\n<p> &quot;With China, we are trying to share the same destiny on the right of development,&quot; he said. &quot;We take China as a leader because we have a common history and we want to share our common future together.&quot;</p>\n<p> <b>Mutual respect</b></p>\n<p> Fredrick Mutesa, secretary-general of the Zambia-China Friendship Association, warned of a &quot;heightened campaign to discredit and undermine&quot; China-Africa ties by Western governments. Yet, he said, China&#39;s engagement through infrastructure, mining and green development is &quot;unlocking the potential of the African continent&quot;, giving it a rare chance to renegotiate its place in the international order on the basis of mutual respect and noninterference.</p>\n<p> &quot;The right to development is the most critical human right for Africa today, and China is at the forefront of helping us realize it,&quot; Mutesa said.</p>\n<p> Jeddi Mowbray Armah, deputy ministerLine truncated

"description": "<div></div><img src=\"https://mobile.chinadaily.com.cn/cn/resfile/2025-09-08/001/20250908_001_05_127186.png\" /><p>Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba addresses a press conference where he announced his decision to resign, on Sunday in Tokyo, Japan.</p>\n<p> Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba announced on Sunday that he will step down as the head of the Liberal Democratic Party, amid growing calls for him to take responsibility for the party-led ruling coalition&#39;s election setback in both houses of parliament.</p>\n<p> Addressing a news conference at the prime minister&#39;s office in Tokyo, Ishiba said he has &quot;made the painful decision to resign despite still having unfinished tasks&quot;, emphasizing that the LDP must undergo genuine renewal and remain a tolerant and inclusive force.</p>\n<p> He added that he would not stand as a candidate in the expected LDP leadership election triggered by his resignation.</p>\n<p> Ishiba&#39;s announcement came a day before the LDP was scheduled to decide whether to hold an early party leadership election, which would essentially be demanding his resignation, according to Japanese media platform Nikkei Asia.</p>\n<p> It also followed a formal agreement reached on Thursday with the administration of United States President Donald Trump on 15 percent reciprocal tariffs on Japanese exports to the US.</p>\n<p> At Sunday&#39;s news conference, Ishiba said he had long considered tariff negotiations with the US a responsibility of his administration. With the signing of a memorandum of understanding last week, Ishiba said the negotiations reached a milestone, which made him decide to make way for his successor.</p>\n<p> In September 2024, Ishiba was elected president of the LDP for a term of three years. In October last year, the LDP and its junior coalition partner, the Komeito, lost their majority in the House of Representatives, the lower house of the National Diet of Japan. In July this year, the ruling coalition also lost its majority in the House of Councillors, or the upper house.</p>\n<p> In postwar Japan, the head of the LDP &mdash; the country&#39;s dominant political force since the party&#39;s founding in 1955 &mdash; has almost always become the prime minister, because the party commands the largest share of seats in the Diet. When an LDP president resigns or is replaced, the post of prime minister typically changes hands as well.</p>\n<p> According to the LDP&#39;s rules, a new leadership election can be held before the incumbent president&#39;s term expires. A majority of LDP members in the Diet and a majority of representatives in the LDP&#39;s prefectural branches can jointly request an election for a new president.</p>\n<p> Following Ishiba&#39;s formal resignation announcement, the LDP is expected to hold an extraordinary executive meeting on Monday morning, at which it will likely decide to cancel the submission of documents for an early party leadership election, according to TBS News, a commercial broadcasting company based in Tokyo.</p>\n<p> The Associated Press reported that the LDP is expected to set a date for a party leadership election, likely to be held in early October.</p>\n<p> Xinhua contributed to this story.</p>\n<p> <span>houjunjie@chinadaily.com.cn</span></p>\n<p></p><br><hr><div>获取更多RSS:<br><a href=\"https://feedx.net\" style=\"color:orange\" target=\"_blank\">https://feedx.net</a> <br><a href=\"https://feedx.site\" style=\"color:orange\" target=\"_blank\">https://feedx.site</a><br></div>",
