18-Year-Old Grandgranny Revives Bian Embroidery's Glory

share time: 2025-11-06 06:01:36

Zhou Yuzhen, a Bian embroidery master who became a widow at 18, is reborn into her useless great-granddaughter Zhou Xiaotang in 2024—just as the family's century-old embroidery workshop is about to be acquired by a real estate developer, and all young apprentices have left to become “internet celebrity embroiderers.” Touching the fragmented “Peony Painting” she made for foreign guests decades ago, and seeing comments like “Bian embroidery is obsolete” on Xiaotang's phone, Zhou explodes: she uses 30-year-old mulberry silk threads dyed with ancient methods, tells stories of embroidering screens for the Great Hall of the People in 1958 on live stream, and even bets with a “tech embroiderer” who stole her business to “recreate Bian embroidery's lost ‘double-sided different-color stitch’ in 10 days.” But just as she saves the workshop, she finds a secret in Xiaotang's diary—her long-lost fiancé from 80 years ago is still alive?
