A symbol of resilience of life| hand-woven roses in Damascus Madiha from Palmyra, Syria It is a great city and a cultural center of ancient civilizations Mattiha raised her three children here, and in her spare time, she loves embroidery, and she has a good craft inherited from her mother However, the civil war disrupted Matiha's life, and she was forced to flee her hometown to strange Turkey For the sake of her family, she often embroidered until midnight, just to finish the work early, So that friends can sell it on the Internet She earns 20-50 lira (40-100 Taiwan dollars) a month, which is an astronomical amount for a Syrian refugee family in Turkey, which can provide a few meals, but it does not allow the child to get a good education. Mattiha's youngest son was admitted to the medical department, but the tuition fee of 3,000 lira a year is an astronomical amount for the family. Finally, the youngest son studied mechanical engineering and worked part-time as a carpenter, earning 10 lira (NT$20) a week This year, Mattiha was introduced to the Taiwan Center, which she thought was just another place where she could sell her work However, the CEO of the Taiwan Center genuinely appreciates her embroidery: "What a beautiful craftsmanship!
