阅读下面短文,根据短文内容回答问题。
Yang Hongwei, 56, is an inheritor(传承人) of the Weifang kite-making technique(技艺). Born into a kite-making family, Yang often saw kites with bright colours and different shapes in her grandfather's workshop.
Having a special connection with kites, Yang learned the technique from her grandfather at the age of 16. After practising the technique for 10 years, she started her own shop in 1992.
"Many places around the world have a tradition of flying kites," Yang said. "But I think the cultural idea behind our kites is special." So, she tries to make special kites with prints telling Chinese stories. For example, she once made a kite with pictures of 50 famous women in Chinese history on each side. Each woman is different in looks, clothes and makeup. She spent much effort and time checking historical records and discussing the details with experts (专家).
Besides, she also travels abroad to tell the stories of Chinese kites and the ways they are made. Since the 1990s, she has been to many other countries, including Germany, Australia, the US and New Zealand.
"It is an important job of mine to spread our traditional culture around the world and on to the children. As long as there are people who want to learn, I won't stop teaching," she said.
