Li Caicun, a 58-year-old paper-cut artist in Changchun, capital of Northeast China's Jilin province, recently finished a collection that includes 100 paper-cuts inspired by his daughter.

He spent two years creating the 100 paper-cuts, which vividly record the growth of his daughter from a little girl to a young woman.

"Like most fathers, I am not good at expressing feelings," he said. "However, I created every paper-cut with my love to her and I believe the collection will be a special present for my daughter."
