A dream-chasing teenager who practices dancing at night
To the national champion
He wants to stand on the stage of the 2024 Paris Olympics

More likely to be his last
Xinhua News Agency New Youth Video
Document the dream of the 33-year-old athlete
"I think anyone who likes to dance
When you hear music, you can't help but move
I will also make the body
There are some rhythmic reactions
I also want to keep this passion
Stayed the course until the Olympics."
2021 for Wang Wenlu
It was a turning point full of surprises
Breakdancing entered the National Games stage for the first time
The sport is no longer in the eyes of many people
The kind of thing that "bad boys" go for
now
Many children start school from the age of four or five
There are also people in their fifties and sixties who are in school
People of different ages can enjoy it
When Wang Wenlu first learned break dancing
A better learning environment
Wang Wenlu's generation
He began to learn break dancing at the age of sixteen or seventeen
He watches more than a dozen breakdancing videos a day
Feel the action in the video
Imitate and learn from memory
Wang Wenlu in order to practice a "Thomas"
Even jumped out of his own bed
"I practiced in bed, thinking that the bed was soft and safer"
"The practice was very cool"
Wang Wenlu wanted to practice with more people
Spend $10 a day
Take a car to the city
The fare is 5 yuan, and the dance floor ticket is 3 yuan
The only one left is 2 yuan to buy water
In those days, I couldn't make money by dancing
He learns from his foreign experience with his partners
Put a hat on the street
Breakdancing for people
"The one who impressed me the most was an older brother
All of a sudden, I gave 3,000 yuan
After we finished the dance, he spoke to us
'If you have a dream, you have to stick to it'
He himself may have chosen to make money when he was younger
Go back when you want to chase your dreams
Found that I had missed that point in time."
For a while, I was forced by the pressure of life
Wang Wenlu applied film on the street for a whole year
Wrap during the day and go dancing after 5 p.m
"Why go to the stalls where you jump so well."
Some people say I don't care about these words
I think people still have to face life."
Wang Wenlu has been practicing breakdancing for 17 years
Can be for like a thing
Stick to it for 17 years
It was something he had never thought of before
From breakdancing lovers
To breakdancing athletes
Wang Wenlu, 33 years old
Think that your psychological age is still young
But also be honest about the physical condition
Insist on training and impact the Olympics
Has become his daily routine
"This is probably my first time
It could also be my last time."
Breakdancing for Wang Wenlu
It's like blood running through the body
Whenever the music plays
It will boil
