"Can you cut us a Paper Cuttings with the theme of the Year of the Dragon?" In the face of the reporter's abrupt "invitation", Sun Hong, president of the China Paper Cuttings Culture and Art Society in Hong Kong, although he said he was unprepared, he quickly drew a small sample, holding the knife in one hand and the paper in the other hand. The paper turned with the knife. In less than half an hour, a Paper Cuttings with the combination of the "dragon" character and the dragon pattern came to life. Sun Hong, President of the China Paper Cuttings Culture and Art Society in Hong Kong, cut a Paper Cuttings themed with the Year of the Dragon when he was interviewed by a reporter from China News Agency recently. Hou Yu, a reporter from China News Service, talked about his fate with Paper Cuttings. Sun Hong said with a smile that learning Paper Cuttings by himself was "becoming a monk halfway". When I was a child, I didn't have many toys, so I played with paper scissors and later put them down. One day in 1999, Sun Hong's husband bought a book about Chinese Paper Cuttings from a second-hand bookstore in Ho Lee Ho Road. When she happened to read it, she suddenly felt that her old friends were reunited and felt like a treasure. So she tried to cut it along with the patterns and patterns displayed in the book, and became more and more fascinated with it. However, the book that led Sun Hong into the world of Paper Cuttings only shows his works, without introducing specific techniques and the culture behind Paper Cuttings. In order to cut out more beautiful works, she often goes to the library to borrow Paper Cuttings books, and when she returns to her hometown Guangzhou, she will also go to the bookstore to find relevant books. She sighed, "After reading these materials, I really felt that the Paper Cuttings culture is broad and profound. The Chinese people's expectations for a better life are expressed through Paper Cuttings patterns." After more than ten years of learning Paper Cuttings, Sun Hong is becoming increasingly skilled. In 2012, the Continuing Education Center under the Hong Kong Federation of Trade Unions invited her to open Paper Cuttings classes. Unexpectedly, citizens applied for every enrollment. Over the past 12 years, nearly 1000 students have been trained, including middle school students who are the youngest. "Students are very happy when they study. They feel that the process of Paper Cuttings is like opening a gift box - because paper is folded and cut, and you can see its full picture only when you cut and open it." Sun Hong said that learning Paper Cuttings is not difficult, and the three-month course is enough to grasp the basic skills; The difficulty is how to cut new ideas beyond the traditional patterns and express their ideas through Paper Cuttings art. In her daily creation, she will use Chinese Paper Cuttings to show the ideas and concepts in western culture. Sun Hong, President of the China Paper Cuttings Culture and Art Society in Hong Kong, recently received an exclusive interview with a reporter from China News Service. Hou Yu, a journalist from China News Agency, photographed Sun Hongqian, saying that he is just a "learning bike" and "crutch" for students. Once students learn the method in class, they can "discard" the teacher and use their talents to cut their favorite patterns. She joked that after learning, some students were "poisoned by Paper Cuttings" and became "fans" of Paper Cuttings culture, often sharing their works in online groups; Also, students made a special trip to Shaanxi to learn about the local Paper Cuttings culture. Under the initiative and organization of some enthusiastic students, the Paper Cuttings culture and art society of China in Hong Kong was established in 2018, and Paper Cuttings lovers in Hong Kong have an additional platform for exchange and discussion. Recently, the Paper Cuttings exhibition "Sending Hands to Spring 2024" planned by the Society was exhibited in the Hong Kong Cultural Center, including the theme of the Year of the Dragon
