After returning from Tianjin, Wang Miao founded his own studio in his home in Dongdawang Village, Qiuji Township, Luyi County, which was first called "Miaomiao Handicraft Workshop", and later hung up the door number of "Wang Miao's Hook and Rope Art". "Everyone took good care of me, encouraged me, and praised me for being very skillful, and I felt very happy." Wang Miao said.
In the handicraft workshop he founded, Wang Miao taught the left-behind sisters in the village weaving skills, passing on ten or ten hundred, and now, more than 100 rural left-behind women around the village have joined Wang Miao's team, becoming the "half of the sky" who takes care of the family and earns money in their spare time.
Wang Miao, who likes to think about it, often innovates hand-knitted products, and has won many awards for large-scale domestic handicraft exhibitions, and her works have also been rated as "county-level intangible cultural heritage" by Luyi County. Wang Miao often shows his works through Kuaishou and is liked by fans. The "Cinderella" who was once ridiculed became the "smart girl" that everyone liked.
How did the farmer's "porcelain doll" receive the order for the Olympic prize bouquet?
Tianjin Tidal Public Welfare Service Center is undoubtedly the "nobleman" in life for Wang Miao. Previously, it was in this caring organization that she learned the knitting skills for free with the teachers. And this time to be able to receive orders for the Olympic bouquet is also the "love" given by this charity. Because, Tianjin Tidal Public Welfare Service Center is one of the units that undertake the task of weaving bouquets for the Winter Olympics.
"At the end of January last year, the Tianjin Tidal Public Welfare Service Center contacted me to make a batch of high-standard, high-quality bouquets, and at that time I thought it was an ordinary order and didn't think too much about it." Wang Miao said that with her skillful experience and skills, she led the sisters to complete the task quickly.
After the finished product was sent to Tianjin, the other party finally sent an order for 5,000 hydrangeas and 1,300 bay leaves. Until this time, Wang Miao did not know that the flowers he made were the bouquets of awards for the Beijing Winter Olympics.
Wang Miao told dahe news Yu video reporter that the hydrangea represents unity, the laurel represents victory, and these two flowers symbolize "unity victory". "All are hand-knitted, a piece of flower contains several stitches, such as braid needles, long needles, dog tooth needles, etc., the biggest difficulty in doing it is that many sisters have not hooked such a thin thread, which is a test for us." Wang Miao said that the assembly is also very strict, such as the two millet beads on the top, the position of the string is very exquisite, can not be two stacked up.
"I can do it very quickly, but some sisters have a harder time doing it." We have a horse sister here, when I first came, a small flower hooked for 3 days. Wang Miao said that she and her sisters worked back and forth for more than 2 months, working for more than 10 hours a day, and finally completed the order for the Olympic bouquet with quality and quantity.
"Our little sister, The Olympic champion Zhang Ling, is a girl who works particularly hard, and in order to train, her hands are all calluses. What a good year, but in order to dream in learning, in training, every day to persevere. I feel like I'm holding on to my dreams too. Don't think it's boring for us to do handicrafts, I just said that you can pursue your own independent life, be an independent ordinary person, and live the life you want. Wang Miao said.
