Dear Eric,
You wanted to know about Chinese paper-cutting. Here I’m glad to tell you something about it.
Chinese paper-cutting has a long history of over 2,000 years. It can be seen in different parts
of China. Many people, no matter young or old, are fond of it. People in northern part of China
do well in making paper-cuts. People cut paper into different shapes, like birds, fish, flowers
and so on. I think Chinese paper-cuts are not only beautiful but also very useful. People usually
put them on doors or windows when they celebrate something happy, especially for the Spring
Festival. More and more people are interested in it. I hope you’ll come to China to see more
Chinese paper-cuts one day.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Ming
