In the ancient and beautiful town of Jiangnan, there lives a woman named Ah Xiu, who is famous for her dexterous hands and kind heart. Ah Xiu is not only outstanding in embroidery, but also helpful, and has won the respect of the villagers.
One day, the emperor Weifu paid a private visit to Jiangnan, and happened to see A Xiu embroidering a landscape map, and he was amazed by the delicate stitching and vivid patterns. The emperor ordered Ah Xiu to embroider a dragon robe for him within three months, and promised to grant the village the grace of three years of tax exemption if it was completed on time and of high quality.
Ah Xiu knew that the responsibility was heavy, and he worked day and night to make the dragon robe. However, just as it was about to be completed, a sudden flood washed away the Ah Xiu family's hut, including the dragon robe that was about to be completed. The villagers reached out to help Ah Xiu rebuild his home, but the lost dragon robe could not be recovered.
Seeing that the deadline is approaching, Ah Xiu is not discouraged, she firmly believes that only with heart can the most beautiful works be embroidered. So, with her memory, she restarted the production of the dragon robe. After twenty days and nights of hard work, Ah Xiu finally completed the new dragon robe, and the golden dragon on it was lifelike, as if it would take off at any time, more delicate and gorgeous than the previous one.
The emperor arrived as scheduled, and when he saw the dragon robe in Ah Xiu's hand, he was deeply shocked by his exquisite skills and praised him again and again. He not only fulfilled his promise and exempted the village from taxes for three years, but also named Ah Xiu the "Holy Hand of Embroidery" and invited her to the palace to teach embroidery.
Since then, Ah Xiu's name has been widely spread among the people, and her story has inspired future generations of people to create miracles no matter what kind of difficulties they face, as long as they have love in their hearts and skills in their hands. And this small village has also become more prosperous with Ah Xiu's wisdom and courage.
