I wish to make a suggestion about the kind of
art we can put into our new art gallery. Our
district is well-known for paper-cutting and
the people are very skilled at it. At the
moment these people do not have anything to
display the variety and skill of their
craftsmanship. If the skill is lost there may
be no record of it. The gallery would Provide them with an opportunity to preserve
this skill. If you were to allow them to display
their expertise here I believe we could make
our district famous and encourage more
tourists to come here.
I hope you will consider my suggestion
favourably.
Yours faithfully,
Liu Xiaoye
