"In addition, our team has embroidered some competition venues of the Games, including Hangzhou Olympic Sports Stadium, known as the 'big lotus', as well as the logos, emblems and other cultural symbols of the Asian Games."

"After the mascots of the Asian Games were unveiled two years ago, I decided to lead my team to make some lacework art echoing the 19th Asian Games Hangzhou 2022 and the 4th Asian Para Games Hangzhou 2022," Wang says.

"I think the Asian Games will bring many opportunities to develop our intangible cultural heritage and let it go out of Xiaoshan and even make it onto the world stage."

The Games have been postponed by the Olympic Council of Asia and the Hangzhou Asian Games Organizing Committee, which was scheduled to be held in Hangzhou from Sept 10 to 25, 2022, after "carefully considering the pandemic situation and the size of the Games".
