Kwok koolin and his cross-brain embroidery, chongming up river map。
At the cost of 47 colour threads, over 100 stitches, and over 2,000 days, a 22-metre-long crosswork, the chongming river map, was finally perfected in the hands of my city's disabled guo xiaolin。
Cross embroidery is a hand-made embroidery that is now common on the market. It is often used by citizens to purge their emotions, relieve their stress and make their products available at home for decoration. But for guo xiaolin, who was born with a disability, this was his means of subsistence and part of his life. The 22-metre-long embroidery was spread, and those present were shocked。
The qingming hau chart is one of the country's top 10 historical paintings, drawn by the north song zhang xian. More than 500 individuals, more than 60 livestock of all kinds, more than 20 wooden boats, more than 30 attics in the building and more than 20 sedans in the carts were painted. It is even more difficult for a person with a disability to present a fine cross-dressing, which is a very demanding workload and skill. “for six years, i have been embroidered almost every day from 8 a. M. To 10 p. M., for over 2,000 days, except for the necessary rest for food.” kwok koolin's cervical vertebrae was in constant pain as a result of long periods of low-head embroidery, and he tried to give it up, but in the end he persisted。
Kwok xiaolin, aged 36, is known to be a villager in the haut party town with a second degree of physical disability and has to rely on double-trip mobility. Seven or eight years ago, kwok koo lin first saw the embroidery process of cross embroidery, which generated great interest in a training organized by the disabled union. Subsequently, he purchased a material for the embroidery of the eight charts, which, after six months of effort, was successfully embroidered into a 2. 5-metre finished product and sold at $9,000. He then took a year and a half to embroidery the qingming river map (locally), selling $58,000。
The making of cross embroidery has not only brought economic help to kwok koo lin, but, more importantly, when he picks up the embroidery, his heart becomes particularly calm and calm. Over the years, kwok koo lin's temperament has changed, and things have become less urgent and more positive and sunlight. Touching his own cross-strangling work, the qingming river map, he said: “i hope that my change will inspire more people and that more people with disabilities will be able to change their lives by their own hands, as i am.”
