The table is scattered with various pieces of paper but they immediately attract a visitor's eye because they represent many things or people, especially the heroes of China's resistance against Japanese Aggression 70 years ago as a way of commemorating it and history.
Their creator is Yang Sihua, a 45-year-old peasant in the village of Bazhou, Guizhou province, who has spent 20 years of his spare time on the paper cuts and explains, "The work that your eyes see right now tells the story of Norman Bethune treating injured soldiers in the war, while another shows the Nanjing massacre of 1937."
Yang spent one month on the works with the anti-Japanese war theme and has now pasted on the walls of his house so villagers can see them, because, in their eyes, he's an excellent craftsman, "His paper cutting is not only much more beautiful, but much more delicate and diverse."
And he has a wide range of themes, characters, scenery, and animals, and keeps improving his skill and range and concludes by saying, "I make full use of my spare time by reading and paper cutting, which brings me great joys. Maybe someday my work will be recognized by the public."
Then adds, "Everyone has his to get old, but I will stick to my meaningful paper cuts since everyone should do something that brings positive energy."
