Embroidered Mountains and Rivers: Embroidered Bones

When she was seven years old, my mother committed suicide with an embroidery needle, with a smile on her lips. Only one piece of "Unfinished Spring" remains in the coffin The withered plum has no leaves, but strangely it blooms an extra flower every spring equinox. I am Ye Shuying, the most inconspicuous concubine of the Ye family. Until that night, I touched my mother's blood-stained needle, and the bloody truth exploded before my eyes: My grandmother was a master of soul embroidery, and the "Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" she embroidered was stolen by foreigners - it contained the entire map of China's dragon vein mineral deposits. My mother was her illegitimate daughter. In order to record the massacre in the Year of 1898, she embroidered the 101st piece of forbidden embroidery, and was forced to death by thirty-eight officials. And my biological father was a mute Xiu Sheng who "died" of illness from the Ye family. The real person in charge of the Ye family is grandmother Lin Wanzhao, who has been "blind" in a wheelchair for thirty years. The mute embroiderer came from the mountains of western Hunan and said to me: "You are the Peach Blossom Master who the Hunxiu lineage has been waiting for for thirty years." "Learn to embroider and you will lose your life. If you don't learn to embroider, you will die tonight." I bit my fingertips open and blood dripped from my fingertips. Thousands of ancestors' faces opened their eyes at the same time—— "The soul of embroidery is not worth a hundred, but one piece of embroidery will shorten one's life." "You have to use these hands to embroider the truth that they dare not embroider." From then on, I used the needle as my pen, the thread as my ink, and my blood as my color: In the Shanghai Embroidery Competition, I shocked the south of the Yangtze River with my double-sided different-color embroidery of "Bright Moon on the Sea" - the bustling night in the concession on the front, and the stooped body of hard workers on the dock on the back. During the Wuchang Uprising, a mute embroiderer and I embroidered a huge "Iron-Blooded Eighteen-Star Flag" overnight - on the back of the flag were the smiling faces of Qiu Jin and Xu Xilin who died. When the May 4th Movement broke out, my embroidery "Tears of Shandong" was held high in the parade by students - the front was a majestic temple, and the back was the mine railway dismembered by the Japanese pirates.
