"Da, da, da..."
A strange sound came from the eight villages of Baoshan Mountain
The New Era Civilization Practice Station came
What is this sound?
Looking closer, it turned out that two old-fashioned sewing machines were singing happily, and a group of Shanghai grandmothers were busy stepping on the sewing machine, and there were a few laughs from time to time. Some of them are responsible for cutting, some are responsible for sewing, and some are responsible for filling, with a clear division of labor, sharp movements, and tacit understanding.
What's going on?
Who are they?
