More than 50 colorful paper-cuts by folk artist Ni Xiumei are on display in Shenzhen.

Having made paper-cuts for more than 20 years, Ni, from Heilongjiang Province, has not only won many domestic awards for her works, but also exhibited them in the United States, Canada, Russia, Sweden, Japan and South Korea.

Originating in China in 200 B.C. to decorate windows during the Spring Festival, the art of paper-cut has evolved all over the world into different styles. Among Ni's works, many of them are simple figures of animals and plants, but vivid and natural.
