An unexpected discovery
On that day, four-year-old Guo Leng watched a wonderful ballet performance with his mother. Under the bright lights, the dancers in white veils twirl gracefully and powerfully on the stage like fairies.
This scene deeply touched the little Guo Leng, and since then, this noble and refined dance art has become a lingering dream in his heart.
Back home, Guo Leng fell into a dilemma. At that time, it was almost always girls who learned to dance, especially in the field of ballet, and few boys chose to devote themselves to it.
Guo Leng is worried that his parents will not be able to understand and support, but the desire to dance in his heart is difficult to extinguish. He is full of contradictions, on the one hand, a fanatical yearning for the art of ballet, and on the other hand, a concern about his family's reaction.
In the end, Guo Leng resolutely embarked on the journey of self-taught ballet. With his unrivalled love for the sport, he gradually mastered a variety of difficult techniques.
Whenever family and friends come to visit his home, he will always go all out to show his exquisite dancing skills, winning applause and praise from everyone. In the midst of these enthusiastic cheers, the originally hesitant parents gradually noticed the talent and expertise of their son.
They began to realize that maybe this kid really had the potential to be a great dancer.
The parents hesitated again and again, and finally made up their minds to sign up for a dance interest class for 4-year-old Xiao Guo. Although at that time, there were a total of 30 students in the class, and Guo Leng was the only male, he was like an outlier in his daughter's country, out of place.
However, he never felt inferior or uncomfortable, on the contrary, he was convinced that he would be able to outperform all the female competitors in the field of dance. This dedication and self-confidence in dance has become the source of Guo Leng's continuous progress.
Arduous cultivation
In the dance interest class, Guo Leng's performance is extremely good, not only can he quickly master the movements explained by the teacher, but also far surpass girls of the same age in flexibility and strength.
The teacher would give special praise to his progress every time he attended the class, which attracted the envious eyes of the whole class.
However, his dedication to dance also made Guo Leng have to make great sacrifices. He often eats irregularly, and even adequate rest can be forfeited.
Every minute, he would practice his dance non-stop until it was getting dark and night fell. In this kind of self-squeezing training, Guo Leng's body gradually became overdrawn, but he always gritted his teeth and insisted, never giving up easily.
At the same time, Guo Leng made another extraordinary choice - to focus on learning ballet. For his parents, it was like a bolt from the blue.
They immediately expressed strong opposition, believing that this was tantamount to slapping their family in the face and losing the dignity of the old Guo family. They believe that a boy learning ballet is tantamount to making him a "sissy".
The strong parents and the determined Guo Leng immediately formed a confrontation, and the family disputes intensified.
In the end, his parents could only obey Guo Leng's wishes and send him to ballet school. From then on, he began a more arduous path of cultivation. Ballet's huge requirements for human flexibility made Guo Leng feel unprecedented pain and frustration.
Every time they saw their son's leg scarred, the parents were very sad and persuaded their children to give up such a difficult thing, but it was difficult to speak. But Guo Leng never complained at all, but showed firm determination with his actions.
His passion for dance made his choice of dance very unique at the beginning of his studies – ballet. Many people think that Guo Leng is only attracted because of his colorful tutu or beautiful dance moves.
But in fact, it is his otherworldly pursuit of ballet dancers that is the root of his insistence on learning.
In the arduous training, Guo Leng's talent was finally brought into play. He won first place in his grade in each quarterly assessment, his teachers praised him as a talented dancer, and his classmates who had been skeptical of him were impressed with him and no longer sneered.
At the same time, Guo Leng's parents also relieved their hearts and turned from the initial fierce opposition to enthusiastic support, because they saw their son's extraordinary talent in dance.
The splendor of youth
Under the unanimous recommendation of the teacher, 9-year-old Guo Leng embarked on the journey to the arena. Despite the difficulties, he made it through and eventually stood out from the crowd and won many honors.
It is worth mentioning in this competition that in Guo Leng's wonderful performance, there is a world-famous artist hidden - Yang Liping.
After the competition, Yang Liping took the initiative to find the young dancer, took a photo with him, and expressed her sincere appreciation for his talent. This opportunity established a deep friendship between the two, and Yang Liping also decided to take Guo Leng as a disciple and personally guide his development in the field of dance.

A turning point in the take-off of the career
Although he couldn't get on the stage again, Guo Leng didn't give up his dream. With Yang Liping's help and encouragement, he decided to devote himself to his dance studio.
Situated in a nondescript corner, this dance studio has no ornate signage or big advertising. However, it has attracted countless parents to visit, and the first phase of enrollment has been successfully completed as fast as lightning.

Troubles in personal life
Despite his great success in his career, Guo Leng's personal life has not improved. His love of dancing led to the loss of other life skills such as laundry and cooking.
The family introduced him to suitable female friends many times, but the results were all because of Guo Leng's various powerlessness. Some people jokingly call him a "giant baby", because although he has an annual income of one million yuan, he is not even able to take care of the most basic life.
"I can do anything but dance. This sentence accurately sums up Guo Leng's situation. From a young age, he devoted himself to performing dance, often forgetting to sleep and eat in pursuit of self-excellence.
His parents and mentors took care of his daily life, so that he did not have to worry about trivial matters.
Even those seemingly trivial daily chores, such as washing clothes and cooking food, were as difficult as climbing to heaven for Guo Leng at that time. For a long time, he has been living in express hotels and has been visiting the surrounding restaurants for a long time, which is undoubtedly amazing.
The family gradually learned about the situation, and many enthusiastic relatives volunteered to wash his underwear and cook delicious meals for Guo Leng to show their gratitude.
His parents have introduced suitable female friends to Guo Leng many times, but they all ended in failure. These female friends find it difficult to accept Guo Leng's various flaws in life, and think that marrying such a man is like becoming a servant.
The continuous failure of dating made the 46-year-old Guo Leng completely give up the idea of getting married.
For him, marriage simply means two matching people living together, so in a way, he prefers to spend the rest of his life with "dance". Even if this concept is jaw-dropping, only Guo Leng, as an artist, can understand the deep meaning.
His tireless pursuit of the art of dance and the use of his life to interpret his dreams have moved all who know him. But at the same time, this pure investment also made him seem powerless in his daily life, and he became a "giant baby" talked about by the outside world.
After all, he won't do anything but dance.
