For the last 35 years, Liu Ying, 41, a designer and embroiderer of the Miao ethnic group, has tirelessly promoted her subtle but vividly unique art. The Miao people mainly live in the southwest of China on a vast rugged land of beauty. Embroidery has a special place in the Miao culture, being a decorative art that helps to transmit their history and legends, in addition to the traditional oral transmission. From childhood, Miao women learn to embroider from their elders and Liu is no exception.
