Since 2020, the cooperative has arranged training for local villagers and visitors to learn about the papermaking tradition.
As more local people are capable of making the paper, they have been able to take an increasing number of orders.
More paper products have also been developed, such as lanterns, fans, bookmarks, handbags and umbrellas.
Last year, the cooperative brought in a total income of 6.5 million yuan ($921,000).
It has been selected as one of 66 exemplary intangible cultural heritage workshops supporting rural vitalization by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, and the National Rural Revitalization Administration.
The booming papermaking has seen Wang take on several excellent apprentices.
