Old lady embroidered 2,008 butterflies for Olympics

Gao Suyun, an 80-year-old lady in Zhengzhou, Henan Province, has
embroidered 2,008 butterflies on a 26.7-m-long piece of white cloth, as a
gift for the Beijing Olympic Games in 2008. It took her more than two
years to finish this amazing project (from September 12, 2004 to March 6,
2007). Besides butterflies of different sizes and colors, a stadium, the
five rings, icons representing all the 35 events, the date of the Games,
and the 2008 Olympic Slogan can all be seen on the work.
