Mother's Love Is Great: a Needle Is a Sail

Type of work: Female growth·Intangible inheritance·Rebirth and inspiration Introduction to the work An embroidery needle passed down for a hundred years connects the fate of two generations of women. In 1995, Lin Xiufen, who had suffered a lot, was reborn with the memories of her previous life. She held the embroidery needle tight, escaped domestic violence with her daughter, pierced the darkness with embroidery in a desperate situation, and grew from an embroiderer in the market to the founder of an intangible cultural heritage brand. Her needlework is embroidered with survival and the backbone of "not crying". Daughter Gu Xiaoyu grew up in the "spring" embroidered by her mother, but she went out into the world with another kind of needlework. She deconstructed the traditional tangle of flowers into flowing light, and asked on the Paris stage: Should inheritance be a reproduction of the specimen, or should the roots continue to grow? From dependence on each other to collision of ideas, from fierce confrontation to two needles dancing together. When life entered the countdown, Lin Xiufen and her daughter embroidered the long scroll "Mountains and Rivers" together to complete the final handover - the greatest completion of maternal love is not eternal protection, but solemnly placing the needle that "embroiders one's own destiny" into her palm. This is a story about mother, daughter and needle. About roots and rebirth, about what is immortal inheritance.
