To better understand the island and create architectural designs and cultural products that resonate with the local character, Guo spent six months on the island in 2022, residing at Ouyang's family guesthouse.

"I hope our professional design team can empower the residents, rather than giving them fully designed products," Guo says. "I believe it's important to involve the residents in the design process, with their input comprising over 70 percent, while we act as facilitators."

Thus, Guo and Ouyang found common ground.

Ouyang traveled to Guo's company in Tianjin where she spent a year learning about design and painting, as well as gaining insights into business operations.

Together, they initiated a cultural and creative brand named Daocifengshan last year. The products under this brand include the aforementioned fishnet bag, refrigerator magnets, maps, packed tea and various accessories crafted from shells and sea glass.

"Guo pulled me out of a difficult situation," says Ouyang. "Although I am a native familiar with many aspects of the island, integrating them into products requires systematic and professional knowledge. That's what Guo taught me."
