Whispers in the Fog: In 2011, Shanghai velvet embroidery was listed in the national representative list of intangible cultural heritage. But the situation is not optimistic. Fog has met an octogenarian master of velvet embroidery, whose works have entered the People's Great Hall, and a studio registered in her name, in the Little White Space Building (supported by the state). She said that the works carefully embroidered by the disciples in the studio are not sought after, and they live on the state-supported monthly salary of 4,000 yuan, which cannot retain people or skills.
