My hobby is paper-cutting. It makes me feel happy to cut different patterns like pandas and peonies. It’s a great way to show foreign friends how smart Chinese people are. When I started to learn it, my hands shook a lot, but now I can cut a beautiful paper flower and tell them that paper-cutting has a history of over 1,500 years in China.
