In fact, for our family, the New Year is no different from usual, and we used to eat a simple Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in the studio while banging and beating. I'm used to being busy, and I can't be idle. Knowing that the reporter was coming to interview on Chinese New Year's Eve, Guo Haibo specially "moved" the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner from the studio into his home.

Last year, Guo Haibo and his daughter Guo Mohan held more than 100 cultural activities to benefit the people at Guo Haibo's Folklore Studio in Wanli Temple, Shijiazhuang. In addition to the event, Guo Haibo created two large-scale iron plate relief works "The Hope of the Mountain People" and "God Bless China", as well as some small colored bronze relief works that symbolize auspiciousness, such as "Two Dragons Playing with Pearls", "Cloud Dragon Playing with Pearls", "Dragon Pan Jade Pillar", "Auspicious Celebration" and so on.
This year is the Year of the Dragon, a very important symbol in traditional Chinese culture, and the shape of the dragon has gathered the characteristics of the beast. I hope that through the work of "Two Dragons Playing with Pearls", I will bless my dear motherland and take off like a dragon. Guo Haibo said.
From the beginning of the year to the end of the year, creating iron plate reliefs is the joy of Guo Haibo's father and daughter. In this new year, Guo Haibo and his daughter Guo Mohan will devote themselves to new creations.
New Year, New Wishes] Guo Haibo: Thank you for your recognition and attention to the iron plate relief, and my daughter Guo Mohan and I will strive to create more and better iron plate relief works in the future, so that intangible cultural heritage will shine with new brilliance in the new era.
