Grandma Li's Anxiety
 

  The Tu's coiled embroidery is time and labor consuming that a piece of coiled embroidery sized a palm around will cost five to six days, while its price in the market is surprisingly only 40-50Yuan. In addition, some pony size embroideries in the tourism products market take the advantage of low prices, squeezing the artistic Tu coiled embroideries that of cultural connotation into upset sales. Wordely, the youth today are very little disposed to study embroidery that Grandma Li feels so anxious for the Tu embroideries being lost. For her own part, most of her works are purchased by the local buyers and repacked as gifts, yearly bringing mere several thousand Yuan for her.

  Shall affection never deceive to regret, ingenuity would keep the wonderful crafts. 50-year-old Li Faxiu, has been practiced what she preached to pass on the ancient Tu embroidery craftwork, of which the cultural treasure was also embodied with Grandma Li's somber-anxiety to be carried on and far in the New Era.

  At present, what Li Faxiu can do is to share her knowledge and ideas with the appetencies in the rural women-tailored coiled embroidery training class held by the Huzhu County Employment Bureau and Women's Federation, in hope of studying and passing on the ethnic arts and carrying forward the Tu's coiled embroidery arts.
