BEIJING, Jan 29 — When Olympic champions at the 2022 Beijing Winter Games are handed their customary bouquets on the medal stand, no one will be prouder than Shanghai pensioner Mou Guoying.

The women have produced 4,400 roses — meant to symbolise the blossoming careers of the successful athletes — for more than 1,200 bunches of flowers. Those skills are evident in the finished product, a long metal stem wrapped in green yarn sprouting leaves on the way up to exquisite, tightly clustered crimson rose petals.

“We knit with love, to inherit love, and spread love,” Huang said. “We’re deeply and affectionately attached to knitting.” “Tightness is the key,” Huang explained. Finished roses are sent off to be combined with other elements — olive branches, laurel, hydrangeas, lilies and osmanthus — created by other clubs around the country.
