Cheongsam has always had a special charm for both young and old people. Grandma Tiantuan, who wore cheongsam shopping abroad earlier, made many foreigners fall in love with Chinese style because of her beautiful clothes and elegant figure. Now, there is another 90-year-old “cheongsam grandma” in China who has once again surprised many people by relying on the self-made cheongsam made with curtains.

The 90-year-old “cheongsam grandma” is named Jiang Bihua and is from Changzhou, Jiangsu. Although she is not a famous family, Grandma Jiang’s elegant and fashionable lifestyle has long made her a well-known fashionable grandmother in the local area and on the Internet.

And the hundreds of cheongsam she made in her spare time impressed many netizens. Coupled with grandma’s daily cheongsam shape, it quickly attracted the attention of the media.

Some media came to interview Grandma Jiang, and her grandmother told reporters that when she was a child, due to poor family conditions, she would secretly envy others when they wore beautiful clothes. So whenever she had free time, she would sew clothes from rags and old quilts at home.

And the sewing machine she uses to make cheongsam and clothes is already “66 years old”, and this antique-colored old guy bought it in 1954. Although more than 60 years have passed, the shell of the sewing machine has become old, but under the careful maintenance of Grandma Jiang, this machine is still flexible and easy to use.

At first, Grandma Jiang only used it to make household sewing and mending clothes, and occasionally made some simple clothes for herself and her family. But since falling in love with qipao, Grandma Jiang has been making cheongsam almost all year round. Grandma Jiang, who has lived a hard life, has brought the spirit of simple and thrifty of the working people to the extreme.

The old curtains, old quilts, and ten-yuan stacks of rags at home have all become the materials for Grandma Jiang to make cheongsam. I thought that these objects, which were worthless in the eyes of everyone, were completely new after Grandma Jiang’s skillful hands, and were unanimously praised by the people around them. And Grandma Jiang even used them to make a lot of beautiful and exquisite cheongsam for her daughters, relatives and friends.

Later, because of work, Grandma Jiang’s daughter wore the cheongsam she made to the United States, and as a result, she was loved by many American friends, and foreigners were once again impressed by the charm of traditional Chinese culture.

Although she is 90 years old, Grandma Jiang can not only do a good job as a tailor, but her mentality is no worse than that of many young people. In an interview, Grandma Jiang’s daughter revealed that in 2019, Grandma Jiang suddenly felt abdominal pain and discomfort on the eve of her birthday, and went to the hospital for examination only to find that her grandmother’s body had a tumor and needed to be hospitalized.

After the test results came out, Grandma Jiang’s four children were worried about her, but Grandma Jiang was in a good mood, packed her beloved cheongsam, dressed up beautifully and admitted to the hospital, and was collectively praised by medical staff and patients.

Grandma Jiang’s daughter said that she is very strict with herself and must be beautiful at all times, so when she does daily examinations, she will also lie on the hospital bed in a beautiful cheongsam.

And when there was no treatment, and when her health improved, Grandma Jiang did not forget to ask her family to help her take a video of the catwalk in the corridor of the hospital. Facing the camera, Mrs. Jiang held a beautiful small folding fan, cooperated with the cheongsam, and posed in various shapes, showing off her clothes in a similar way.

How can such a cute old lady not be liked, many netizens said after seeing the interview that they will continue to be beautiful like Grandma Jiang when they are old in the future. Even the president of the company, I, saw that Grandma Jiang made hundreds of cheongsamsam, I was very envious, and I wanted to have a “grandma of the same style”!

In a lifetime, many people will dare not do what they like presumptuously for various reasons and scruples, and they will inadvertently miss a lot of fun. Instead of living in entanglement and embarrassment, it is better to do what you like like Grandma Jiang, and it is not as beautiful and fashionable as Grandma Jiang to live a lifetime, what do you think?
