Topic: Back Needle
Introduction:
The badge has a very long history, with a variety of chapters, but the back of the badge is almost eternal. A small back needle connects the glory represented by the badge with the body. Compared with the dazzling color of the badge itself, few people realize the importance of the pin on its back. China in the last century was the highlight era of the badge. Everyone's good wishes and glory are concentrated on the badge on his chest. In that era of lack of automation, the pin on the back of each badge was made by tens of millions of people with their hands. These pins represent the collective spirit of dedication and obscurity. Now, together with the workers, I have manually unscrewed these more than 30,000 back needles and connected them together to form these four works as my nostalgia for the spirit of my parents.
