Speaking of breakdancing, the first thing that young people think of now may be Sun Honglei, because Sun Honglei loves this dance very much and has shown his love for breakdancing on different occasions many times. But perhaps everyone does not know that in addition to Sun Honglei, there is another person in China who once had an extreme love for this dance and once practiced the dance to the pinnacle of perfection, and no one can match it.
This person's name is Tao Jin, who has been popular all over the country because of his dance style of break dance, and is even known as a generation of dance kings. Let's walk into the dance world of a generation of dance kings - Tao Jin, and experience Tao Jin's different life.
At the age of 27, he became a generation of breakdancing kings
Tao Jin was born in 1961, a native of Jiangsu. Taughankin is different from most other dancers in that he entered the field of dance by mistake. Taughan first came into contact with dance because he suffered from a disease called "chicken breast" when he was a child. The disease can often be detected when children are five or six years old, and the easiest way to solve this disease is to correct it through body shaping. Therefore, Tao Jin's parents specifically found a dance teacher for him in order to treat Tao Jin's illness.
In this way, with the help of the dance teacher, Tao Jin not only corrected his body through dance practice to cure his own diseases, but also found the charm of dance in this daily practice. Since then, dancing has become Tolkien's greatest interest in life, and becoming a dance teacher has become Tolkien's dream at that time. In order to realize his dream, Tao Jin went to the Beijing Dance Academy to start a formal dance learning career.
As a student of the Beijing Dance Academy, Tao Jin, like other students, often travels to various places to participate in performances. Once, they went to Hong Kong to perform a show. At that time, Hong Kong was more prosperous, more open and more vibrant than the mainland. Therefore, Tao Jin also saw an American movie "Break dance" for the first time in Hong Kong, and the shock brought by this film to Tao Jin cannot be described in words. Tolkien, who learned about breakdancing for the first time, was deeply attracted to this dance.
Since then, Tawkin has become an avid fan of breakdancing. He was fascinated by this unusual dance and began practicing day and night.
Without a professional breakdancing teacher, he mimics videos from videotapes. His love and fascination with breakdancing impressed the writer Liu Yi, who wrote a novel based on Tao Jin's experience, "Rock Youth". The novel tossed and turned into Theokin's hands, and Taokin, who saw the novel, remembered the movie about breakdancing that he had watched while performing in Hong Kong. At this time, a bold idea lingered in Tawkin's mind to make the novel "Rock 'n' Roll Youth" into a movie. So Tao Jin immediately contacted Liu Yi to discuss many matters about the film with him. After listening to Tao Jin's idea, Liu Yi hit it off and decided that he must pass the break dance to the public through this film, so that more Chinese understand and fall in love with this dance.
So Tolkien began to prepare the film, and he did everything himself. Find a director, find a shooting team, find a venue, solve financial problems, find actresses... These complicated and trivial things did not erase his enthusiasm for break dancing, but on the contrary, they strengthened his confidence in break dance step by step. After solving various problems, he began filming the film. In this way, the film finally opened up to the public after all kinds of tribulations.
Everything was as Tolkien expected, and the film caused a hot response as soon as it was listed. Many dancers have devoted themselves to the study of breakdancing, and some people have fallen in love with dance because of this movie. Because of this movie, and because of Tao Jin's professional ability, Tao Jin became a well-deserved breakdancing king in China at that time. I thought that Tauin's life would continue like this, but what happened next made everyone feel incredible...
Unfortunately, "suffering from cancer", the illness was rushed to the hospital.
Tao Jin, who was caught on a breakdancing fire, developed in his career like a day in the sky, and he was also emotionally enviable. He and his wife Zhao Liping are also dancers, also from Jiangsu, and they are also graduates of the Beijing Dance Academy. The two have similar interests, are in agreement, evenly matched and talented. The union of these young people still seems to be an incomparably beautiful love pair today. Just when everyone was indulging in the lives of this pair of talented and beautiful people and gods and immortals, misfortune happened. Because Tawkin was diagnosed with cancer during a test, the disease was tantamount to a direct death sentence at that time.
This was nothing short of a thunderbolt for Tolkien and his wife, who could not accept or believe that the disease would find themselves. They went to all the hospitals, large and small, and saw all the experts in this area at that time, but how could there be a doctor in that era who could firmly tell him that the disease could be overcome. No, they didn't find hope of a cure from any of the doctors. They struggle with pain every day, praying for miracles to happen. However, the so-called emergency and chaotic medical treatment, the busier and more chaotic, the more panicked and chaotic.
Just when they were on the verge of collapse, someone told them that there was a "divine doctor" named Hu Wanlin. They said that this divine doctor had cured other people's cancers. This news was like the last drop of water in the desert for the couple, so they found the so-called "divine doctor" Hu Wanlin. Without any routine disease examination, Hu Wanlin patted his chest and confidently told them that they could be cured. He prescribed the so-called therapeutic drug to Tao Jin, and Tao Jin really regarded him as a saint and obeyed him. The daily medication never stops, but the heart that hopes to heal does not desire and devotion to get the response it deserves. In the end, Tao Jin's deterioration was accelerated by drinking a large number of illegal drugs, and a generation of kings died young.
He died young, and his wife danced for love.
Tawkin's untimely death was nothing short of a thunderbolt on a sunny day for his wife, who also washed her face with tears all day out of excessive grief. Maybe how much love there was at the beginning, how sad it was when they were separated. Later, over time, his wife gradually found another way of love, that is, dance. She will continue to dance with her love for Tawkin and continue to pass on the dance.
For Zhao Liping, as long as the dance is still there, Tao Jin is still there. As long as her love for dance is there, then her love for Tawkin will not disappear. In order to commemorate Tao Jin, she also wrote the book "Tao Jin My Love", in which the love and warm emotions for Tao Jin are sincere and moving, which makes countless readers moved. I believe that this feeling will not be affected by the length of life, and this feeling will last as long as they dance.
Conclusion: Through The life of Tao Jin, it is not difficult to find that no matter how talented you are in this world, no matter how rich and powerful you are, life has once for everyone. Perhaps it is precisely because of the shortness and uncertainty of life that the preciousness of life itself is more prominent. In the face of this short and limited life course, all we can do is cherish every minute and every second of the moment, strive to realize our greatest value in the limited life course, and make our limited life sparkling. Just like Tao Jin, although he died young, his contribution to Chinese dance, his love of break dancing, will remain forever in the long river of history.
