In origami (折纸) artist Pei Haozhengs eyes, a single sheet of paper has infinite (无限的) possibilities. It can be folded into anything, from daily objects to mythical creatures, with imagination as the only limit.
“The charm of origami lies in its creativity from a single sheet of square paper through just folding with no cuts or glue,” said the 26⁃year⁃old.
Pei is skilled in creating rare artworks by using only one piece of square paper to fold into several objects. In September 2022, he set the Guinness World Record for most origami flowers made from a single sheet of paper.
He applied this technique in his work Deer with 100 Flowers. It consists of a standing deer figure and 100 red flowers on its antlers (角). Without any other tools, he used only a piece of paper with side lengths of 2 meters and 22 centimeters to finish the whole work.
Although people might be amazed at the complexity of the design and skills needed to produce the work, the most difficult part for Pei was creating it in a way that showed its symbolic meaning.
Inspired by the poem To the Oak by Chinese poet Shu Ting, he made the design to express his deep love for China. “By naming it huasheng manlu, a Chinese idiom signaling glory and perfection, I am expressing my hope for Chinese youth to build the Belt and Road together and finally come into a bright future.” said Pei.
Apart from interest, another reason for Peis efforts in origami is to help Chinese culture go global. According to Pei, foreigners who appreciate his works may discover the cultural ideas behind the origami design, such as the concept of “harmony is invaluable”.
