暹粒50岁手工艺人致力于传承三代藤编技艺

**50-Year-Old Craftswoman Works to Preserve Three-Generation Rattan Weaving Tradition SIEM REAP — For three generations, the family of 50-year-old Roeurn Ret has made traditional woven rattan products, including trays, baskets, and containers for everyday use. Ret has carried on the family tradition since she was 13, learning the craft from her mother, who learned it from her own mother. Ret and her family live in Trach Chrum village, Ampil commune, Prasat Bakong district, Siem Reap province, where they continue producing the handmade goods as a source of income. But keeping the tradition alive is becoming increasingly difficult as rattan becomes harder to find while finished products fetch relatively low prices. Ret sometimes spends up to five nights in the forest searching for enough rattan, while some items can take about a week to complete. Despite the demanding work and limited income, Ret remains determined to carry on the family tradition and pass the skill to future generations. “I do not want this craft to disappear. It has been passed down from my grandmother, and I worry that if I stop, my grandchildren may never know this craft,” she said.
