83-year-old He Shiyun from northern Anhui's Huaibei City was carefully
watching her paper cutting works on Dec. 27. He Shiyun started learning
paper cutting since she was eight, and during the past 75 years, she has
developed a style oriented toward free imagination and folk features
which is typical of South Anhui paper cutting school. Her works are
mainly based on plain folk lives, myths, legends and daily life, and have
been collected by many museums in China and presented to foreign friends
for several times.
