35-year-old Yang Xiaoting threads a needle to stitch on her embroidery work at her embroidery studio in Wuhan city, central China's Hubei province, 2 July 2014. Yang Xiaoting, 35, is recognized as a rising star of Han embroidery in Wuhan city, capital of central China's Hubei Province. With many award-winning works already in her repertoire, the young woman is creating waves, and controversy, unsettling traditional masters such as Ren Benrong. Hubei-born Yang has set out to learn a wide range of different embroidery skills from all over China and she is applying the fused knowledge in her own works - which ranges from samplers of animals and flowers, landscapes and folk art, to Da Vinci's famous Mona Lisa to her own self-portrait. She has broken all the molds, but she insists her works are Han embroidery. Han embroidery, which has a history of over 2, 000 years, is among 10 major embroidery styles in China, as are Hunan embroidery and Suzhou embroidery.
