A series of handcrafted woven works by artisans from Quzhou, East China's Zhejiang province, has been featured at the "Blooming Together" Exhibition of Creative Works by Chinese Artists with Disabilities, which was recently held at the United Nations headquarters in New York.

These works artfully blend traditional Chinese culture with folk weaving techniques, drawing inspiration from the renowned painting A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains.

The collection comprises 11 pieces, including round fans, handbags, and storage boxes. Made primarily from hemp ropes and PVC boards, the pieces retain a rustic texture and natural colors, embodying the principles of green, sustainable living.

Behind these exquisite creations are the dedication and passion of the creators. The "Weaving for Love" group from the Huangjia District Disabled Persons' Home in Kecheng district consists of 13 members.

Initially, the complex processes involved were difficult to memorize, and hand coordination was lacking, resulting in slow progress. Even now, with improved teamwork, completing a piece takes three days, reflecting the artisans' sweat, persistence, and passion.

"We aim to weave not only creations but also our future," said He Yajun, head of the Huangjia District Disabled Persons' Home.

The team plans to continue developing cultural products, connecting traditional culture with contemporary design, and weaving their love for life into every piece.
