Guangzhou Embroidery, a traditional Chinese handicraft, is renowned worldwide for its unique and delicate embroidery craftsmanship. On this day, host Vivian Ma invited Mr. Hossein Darvishi, the Consul General of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Guangzhou, to experience Guangzhou Embroidery together. In his first attempt as a "faa-lou," faced with intricate threadwork, he surprisingly uses threads skillfully to perform a "magic trick" for everyone. Can he quickly grasp the basics of needlework and embroidery in a short time?
In Iran, there is also a luxury item with ancient craftsmanship, and that is Persian carpets. Many thanks to Mr. Darvishi for providing us with the tickets. We embarked on a journey to Iran to explore the profound culture of Persian carpets. What did the host discover on these ancient and luxurious Persian carpets? And what kind of carpet weaving "performance" made the host feel so romantic?
As two ancient civilizations, China and Iran have maintained friendly exchanges. In January 2024, Iran officially became a member of BRICS, solidifying the deep friendship between the two nations and paving the way for a mutually prosperous future.
