Xu Haixia, maker of Chinese pancakes, holds a basket of colorful pancake flowers with Rafael Saavedra, a Shenzhen-based Venezuelan, at the Shandong booth at Hall 10 of the Shenzhen World Exhibition & Convention Center during the 19th China (Shenzhen) International Cultural Industries Fair on Thursday. Xu, a 53-year-old from Linyi City, Shandong Province, has become a master artist in high demand for her pancake flowers. Xu, who has been making pancakes — a thin paperlike food made of grain — for 15 years, copies world-famous paintings using pancakes, including Vincent van Gogh’s “Sunflowers,” and makes pancake flowers.   Liu Xudong
