You Wenfeng is one of only a few people who know how to create clothing from fish skin, a skill of her ethnic Hezhen minority people – who were once so skilled plying the waters of the nearby Heilong River that they are said to be “descended from mermaids”.

The Ewenki, an ethnic minority group in northeast China, are traditionally nomads who have herded reindeer for centuries.
