Paper-cutting preserves culture

An elderly craftswoman has dedicated herself to preserving Manchu culture through paper-cutting.

Ni Youzhi learnt the craft from her mother when she was six years old and is now a national-level successor of Manchu paper-cutting.

The 76-year-old spends her time creating the cuttings, which depict scenes of traditional Manchu stories, on paper, bark and leaves.
