"In the Year of the Tiger, I will embroider tigers, and I can embroider all kinds of tigers." I've been embroidering all my life, and this used to be the work of passing the time, and I didn't have anything to do with insoles, sachets, embroidery on clothes, etc. Now I can communicate with many sisters, create embroidery samples, and earn money, which is something I never thought of before. I feel very happy on such days.
