Chasing the light - the gift of the Winter Olympics that never fades, the master behind the curtain is this retired aunt in Shanghai

The New Year is here

The Pace of the Beijing Winter Olympics is closer

New Year's Eve Winter Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games award elements

Officially released in Beijing

Shanghai, thousands of miles away

A retired aunt burst into tears

Witness her "dream come true moment"

The "residual heat" of this retired aunt

Only by climbing the Olympic podium can you have it

Without saying a word, let's go to the picture first

Winter Olympics Awards Bouquet

There are 7 kinds of flowers in the award bouquet

There is a flower moon season in Beijing

There are olive branches that symbolize peace

There are roses that symbolize happiness...

Bouquet ribbon

It is the blue color system of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games

Embodying elements of ice and snow sports

Is it elegant and luxurious

Is there a lifelike?

I really wish I could take a bunch home right away

Don't underestimate this bouquet of awards

Its gold content can be "as high as three floors"

The bouquet uses intangible cultural heritage ——

It is crocheted with the technique of knotting the velvet thread

Flower buds

Piece by piece petal

All are official sponsors of the Winter Olympics

Hengyuanxiang cashmere thread is woven

(Yes, that's the "sheep and sheep" when I was a kid)

The lead weaver is named Li Mei

I'm 70 years old this year

Leading her "Sisterhood"

It lasted more than half a year

From design to training

From quality control to final assembly

This glorious task was accomplished

Take a look at the video of the interview we brought

Aunt Li introduced

The reason why you choose a fine velvet thread hook

It is to make the bouquet more delicate and realistic

But the time and effort spent

The doubling is more than that

"I think it's worth it"

Seven local organizations, including Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai and Suzhou, participated together

Finally, 16731 branches of flowers gathered in Shanghai Hengyuanxiang

Inspected, trimmed, verified and assembled by Aunt Li

Meet a number of standards such as size, refinement, comfort and more

In order to send to the Beijing Winter Olympics Organizing Committee

It eventually appeared on the podium of the Winter Olympics

Prospective "post-00s" Luo Xiao is Aunt Li's assistant

The "grandma" in her eyes is really "too hard to fight"

Each branch of the flower is carefully inspected and trimmed

70 years old and sometimes "overtime at night"

She deeply felt this solemnity and rigor

Aunt Li retired at the age of 50 before she was exposed to weaving velvet flowers

Starting from scratch, it took 20 years

Let this skill finally bloom on the stage of the Winter Olympics

That's the people and things behind the Olympic bouquet

The small bouquet is delicate and timeless

This "bloom"

Condensed with the dedication of the makers

and the cherishing of non-genetic inheritance

It conveys the rich meaning of the Kyushu concentricity

This gift for the Winter Olympics

There is love and righteousness, never wither!
