Hao Lanying, a 67-year-old paper-cutting artist, created the paper-cut works of the official mascots of the Beijing 2022 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games to send good wishes to the two events, Beijing Daily reported.
Hao said she had learned about the interpretation of Bing Dwen Dwen, the mascot of the Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games, and Shuey Rhon Rhon, the mascot of the Beijing 2022 Paralympic Winter Games, before she reproduced them in terms of paper-cutting art.
She has been creating traditional paper-cutting works for 60 years. She draws her inspiration from the countryside where she grew up and her works of art always contain elements of waves and raindrops.
As the fifth generation successor of the unique paper-cutting style, which has been officially recognized as a national-level intangible cultural heritage, Hao has published a collection of over 100 original works.
One of her works was even collected by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in 2004.
