Paper-cutting artist Su Hongfei from Haining, Zhejiang province, expresses her best wishes for the upcoming Asian Games through her exquisite craftsmanship, expressive designs, and rich color palette.
One example is a piece called Welcome to the Asian Games. Su spent more than a month creating it.
She said the main body of her work involves the "Big Lotus" — nickname for the Hangzhou Olympic Sports Center Stadium. The logo of the Games and the Big Lotus are connected with clouds.
Four representative flowers, from four different seasons, are added on the corners of the piece, including a peony, lotus, chrysanthemum and plum blossom.
