Ding Xiang, a student at Nongsishi Middle School in Xinjiang, is really good at it. At the eighth National Excellent Talents Competition in Beijing, the 15-year-old girl got the gold award (金奖) for her paper-cutting skills. At the competition, Ding cut a piece: Millennium Dream (千年梦想). The piece has two papers. One shows an ancient cave painting (古代壁画) and the other a Chinese-made spaceship. The two papers form a sharp contrast (对比). Ding said she wanted to show three things with the piece: Chinas long history, Chinas rapid development (快速发展), and her hope for the future of paper-cutting. This piece helped Ding walk away with the gold award. Ding began to learn paper-cutting in her first year of middle school. She started to become more and more interested in it. The next year, she had more schoolwork, but she didnt give up. “I always find time for practicing every day. If I dont have time during the day, I must practice at night,” Ding said. “It was a very long and hard time, but I felt very happy.” All the hard work has paid off (获得回报).
