(2025·河南郑州模拟)The wind roils the Midwest plains as if it is searching for someone or something to carry away.Dust and chaff funnel into blinding clouds.The clatter of storms overhead makes it impossible to hear，and herds of bison (野牛) grow restless.The Omaha tribe has wandered these plains for generations，and now，it seems that the winds have brought back one of their own.Susan La Flesche has returned to the village where she was born.Not as a visitor，but as the region's only doctor.

When Susan was 8 years old，she waited at the bedside of an elderly woman writhing in pain.A doctor was called for.They waited.A messenger was sent.The doctor still didn't come.Susan provided what comfort she could through the night，but by sunrise，the elderly woman had died.The episode both haunted and motivated Susan.She threw herself into her studies and earned her way to what is now Hampton University in Virginia—a historically Black college with a program for native American students.And she finished second in her class.

Susan would never forget the childhood she enjoyed，full of powwows，buffalo hunts and the people she loved.But there was further to go.She enrolled in the Women's Medical College of Pennsylvania，a tedious train ride away from the world she knew.It was 1886，and the Victorian age held stiff against the progress of women.In her graduation speech from Hampton，she told the East Coast audience，“Give us a chance.” Three years later，she became a doctor.

Returning to the plains to serve her people was a difficult task.She opened an office in the government boarding school and began seeing patients.The lines were long，old and young seeking reprieve (缓解) from cholera and tuberculosis (肺结核) as well as a slew of other diseases.Susan worked long hours at her office but also braved the wind and snow，walking miles to make house calls.Her work was more than as a physician.She often acted as lawyer，accountant，priest，political liaison and counselor as she helped the Omahas navigate the new world.And Dr Susan La Flesche was determined to spend her entire life helping her people navigate the storms.

(2024·湖北武汉三模) Ding Lanying，an embroiderer (刺绣工) from Chuxiong Yi Autonomous District in Yunnan Province，could not hold back her excitement when a show featuring Yi embroidery and culture was held at the Milan Fashion Week on Saturday.

A collection of 40 fashionable designs was modeled on the catwalk，where the color black and the Yi ethnic group's favorite patterns of clouds，seeds and silver decorations were brilliantly featured.

Ding，who has been doing embroidery for more than 30 years since she was 8，said she was fortunate to attend the show，and there are so many women like her back in her hometown who have contributed to the show's success.“The show in Milan will make the village's female embroiderers so proud of the Yi embroidery and encourage them to continue the cultural heritage for generations，” said Ding.Ding's South China Colorful Yi Embroidery Company now hires 2，028 embroiderers，including 109 who have physical disabilities.

Li Wenjuan，head officer of the Chuxiong Publicity Department，said the thriving local embroidery industry has enabled women to work at home and helped improve their livelihoods.“We live in the deep mountains，but we always have the fashion genes，” she said of the 1，700­year­old Yi embroidery，an intangible cultural heritage.

Zhu Weiming，managing director of Shangtex Fashion Company which organized the show，attributed the success to the joint efforts of Shanghai designer Ji Cheng and the embroidery artists from Chuxiong.“The 2024 spring/summer fashion inspired by Yi embroidery has blended the Yi ethnic group's totems(图腾)，such as tiger，seeds and flowers，very well with luxurious Italian fabrics，” he said.“It is a celebration of Yi culture.”

Apart from the Milan Fashion Week and the New York Fashion Week，the Yi embroidery had already wowed attendees at the Shanghai Fashion Week and the Beijing Fashion Week in China.
