Along the 318 National Road "5000 km monument" to the west 6 kilometers, there is a Zha Nianqin making national handicraft cooperative. Walking into the cooperative, Dunga was discussing with the workers how to make a new type of Zha Nianqin.

The 29-year-old Dunga was born in Resa Township, Latse County, Shigatse City, Tibet Autonomous Region, and grew up in Resa Township. Under the influence of his father, he could play and sing Zha Nianqin since he was a child, and he also deeply loved Latze Dui Harmony. . Due to the small population in the family and the lack of labor to maintain the family business, he went home to herd sheep at a very young age. Since he was a child, Dunga liked to play the Zha Nianqin very much. Since his family did not have the conditions to buy a piano, his father made him a simple Zha Nianqin with broken steel bowls and wood. . After several years of hard work, I finally learned to play the zither and dance.

Dunga wanted to make life better at home and decided to study carpentry. Diligent and studious, he soon learned to make furniture, and his life at home gradually improved. In order to make life better, he came up with the idea of making Zha Nianqin to start a business.

He visited Shigatse, Lhasa and other surrounding areas successively, and found that there is no professional production organization in Shigatse, and there is still a large market in this field with promising prospects. He started the road of entrepreneurship. In 2018, "Yangde Zhanian National Traditional Handicraft Farmers Professional Cooperative in Resa Township, Lazi County" was established with his efforts.

"Today, the cooperative has 14 employees, of which 7 are registered poor households, and the cooperative income is more than 300,000 yuan each year," said Dunga.

The cooperative not only helped Dunga get rid of poverty and become rich, but also let the employees of the cooperative get rid of poverty and become rich. In 2020, employees of the cooperative received an average salary of 40,000 yuan.
