In the next half month, Liu Xiang's hurdle embroidery, which is embroidered with finer silk than human hair, is about to be completed. It will spend nearly 3 months in Jinzhou's Manchu folk embroidery heritage Xia Li Yun and 3 embroidery masters.

"Silk is for the sake of pursuing high simulation effect. For this reason, thousands of needles have been placed on each hand. I hope Liu Xiangneng will know our pains and accept this embroidery," Xia Liyun said.

Next month, 5 intangible cultural heritage protection projects in Jinzhou, including Manchu folk embroidery, Zhuanghe paper cutting, fireworks art, Xiuyan paper cutting and Yingkou Chen's dough molding process, will participate in the "Chinese story" cultural activities exhibited in the Olympic Park of the Beijing Olympic Games Center during the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games.

Jinzhou Manchu folk embroidery process has nearly 300 years ago. Xia Liyun, 45 years old, told reporters that she and 3 embroidery experts worked from 7 to 7 pm every day, and jointly embroidered Liu Xiang's classic hurdle in the world championships.

Xia Liyun said, "we can actually use machine embroidery, but this is not enough to express our sincerity for the Beijing Olympic Games.

Silk thread used for embroidery is thinner than human hair, and hands are often punctured and bleeding. "

Xia Liyun said that she will bring 1000 pieces of embroidery to Beijing this time. "Including 30 Peking opera costumes, they are all reduced to a foot and a half. They are all handmade. A embroidery master needs to be embroidered for one month to finish one."
