Shanxi paper-cutting artist
Guo Meihua shows her designs on Thursday, November 22,
2007.
Guo Meihua, a veteran paper-cutting artist from northern China's
Shanxi Province, has decided to dedicate herself to designing
Chinese Olympic Champion-themed paper-cuts.
The Xinhua News Agency reported that Guo's design for the
paper-cuts features 100 different Chinese Olympic champions over
the last 20 years.
From China's first Olympic champion, Xu Haifeng, to the most
recent Olympic star, Liu Xiang, Guo has used the animal signs the
champions were born under in four paper-cut designs for each
champion.
She has finished four out of the 100 sets of paper-cuts so far.
She wants to use this traditional Chinese art style to make her
contribution to the 2008 Olympics.
Guo hopes to send her paper-cuts to the 100 champions and the
Organizing Committee for the Beijing Olympics after she has
finished them.
