Heritage preserved one stitch at a time

Peng Lin was so preoccupied with her needlework that she ignored the visitors looking at her Sichuan-style embroidery.

"A buyer has ordered needlework, and I have to complete it on time. I started on May 20 and I'm expected to complete it before June 20," the 29-year-old said.

Peng was displaying her skills on Monday at the Chengdu Shu Brocade and Embroidery Museum, which was designated by the Ministry of Culture in 2011 as a guardian of intangible cultural heritage.
