Jin Xin, a woman of Yao ethnic group born in 1977 in south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, has loved embroidery since her childhood when seeing women in her village embroider on clothes. In 2003, she quit her former job and started to study on Beijing Embroidery after taking part in an event on restoration and replica of cultural relic embroideries in Beijing. Having no basic knowledge on the art, she learned from purchasing materials, copying and rubbing patterns, to stitching in various ways and completing a whole product.

In 2005, Jin started her own business on Beijing Embroidery. In 2008, she set up her company which has been dedicated to the inheritance and innovation of the art and the creation of patterns. In 2010, she became an apprentice of Yu Meiying, an inheritor of Beijing Embroidery. During her study, Jin tried to combine the traditional handicraft with modern art, creating a series of Beijing Embroidery products such as embroidery screens, tea table mats, scarfs and capes, handbags and ties, in a bid to apply the art to modern products and attract young people's attention.

"I hope more people will see the beauty of Beijing Embroidery and our traditional crafts," said Jin Xin, "My ultimate goal is to bring it to the international stages." (Xinhua/Zhu Weixi)
