00:00When this old man removes the corn kernels, he doesn't throw the corn husks away.
00:04Instead, he spreads them out carefully, strings them together, and hangs them outside to dry,
00:09almost like he's storing something precious.
00:11But there's a reason.
00:12For the elders, corn husks are not waste.
00:15They're actually very useful.
00:16They use corn husks for steaming buns.
00:19They don't stick, and the buns get a light, natural corn fragrance.
00:22People who are more creative can make even more things.
00:25They turn corn husks into small storage containers that look just like bamboo jars.
00:29They weave them into beautiful, decorative flowers and crafts.
00:33And when the husks are twisted into long strips and wrapped layer by layer,
00:37they can even be turned into chairs or sofa cushions.
00:39Breathable and practical.
00:41Some artists go further.
00:42They cut, trim, dye, and layer the husks, turning them into lifelike lotus flowers.
00:48It's unbelievable how something so ordinary can become so beautiful.
00:52Watching this, you realize, things we usually throw away can actually be full of possibilities.
00:56So, what else do you think corn husks could be used for?
