TAIPEI (Taiwan News) – Yunlin County welcomed the fast-approaching Mother’s Day with
an amusing competition of threading needles and sewing buttons (穿針引線縫鈕釦), with the county’s magistrate even joining in the event.
On May 7, Yunlin citizens were invited to participate in a button sewing competition held by county’s government. Males and females teamed up in groups of two, facing each other and then tried to sew as many buttons as possible in a given amount of time.
The day even included the special participation of Yunlin’s Magistrate Lee Chin-young (李進勇). He partnered up with Yunlin’s Secretary General Huang Yu-Shuang (黃玉霜) to compete with other fellows, making the competition even more intense and exhilarating, reported CNA. [FULL STORY]
