Arduous journey
Dancer Huang Doudou has become an outstanding representative of the Chinese dance industry, serving as the vice chairman of the Chinese Dancers Association, and his status is highly respected. He and his wife Su Yi are very affectionate, and their marriage has lasted for 19 years.
A pair of lovely sons and daughters also joined their happy family. On the surface, Huang Doudou seems to have the pinnacle of life with a successful career and a happy family.
However, behind this enviable brilliance, there are hidden tribulations and hardships that Huang Doudou has experienced. Along the way, he was not the darling of God, on the contrary, he faced cruel rejection and questioning by reality again and again.
Recalling his young school days, Huang Doudou has always had a persistent love and yearning for dance. But when he enthusiastically proposed to his parents to enroll in the middle school affiliated to the Beijing Dance Academy, a heavy blow shattered his dream.
It turned out that Huang Doudou was born with a severely disproportionate body and too short lower limbs, which was far from the standard requirements of professional dancers.
As a rule, a good male dancer should have at least 12 centimeters in length in the lower limbs than in the upper body. However, Huang Doudou's lower limbs are only 8 centimeters longer than his upper body, which is far from reaching the standard.
The obvious defects in his body structure doomed him to no chance of entering a professional dance school, let alone showing his talent on stage in the future.
Faced with the school's rejection, Huang Doudou was naturally extremely frustrated and disappointed. Although his talent for dancing has long been revealed, talent alone cannot compensate for his physical shortcomings.
For a child who dreams of becoming a dancer, this is simply a bolt from the blue, and it hits his self-confidence hard. At that time, his eyes were gloomy and his face was sad.
However, Huang Doudou did not give up. Instead, he was determined to make sure that his lower limb length was up to the standard specifications of a professional dancer. For him, his dream is so persistent and pure, which makes him full of fighting spirit and indomitable in the face of the resistance of reality.
The original intention that was questioned
Huang Doudou's love for dance can be traced back to when he was young. Despite his young age, he has already shown a talent for choreography, and is even able to create his own choreography that is as beautiful as flowing on the road.
Whenever a dance performance is staged nearby, Huang Doudou is always elated, and his eyes sparkle with anticipation. In order to experience the charm of the stage, he even saved all his pocket money and bought tickets to watch the dance performance when he had saved enough.
Observing the scene again and again, he became more and more fascinated by this art.
It can be said that Huang Doudou's obsession with dance has been rooted in the deepest part of his heart and has become an indispensable part of his life. At that time, although he was small, he was full of enthusiasm for dance, and he always happily gestured in front of his family, imitating every movement of the dancers on stage.
Huang Doudou's parents saw their son's unique talent and innocent love for dance. As loving parents, they are naturally extremely supportive of Huang Doudou to pursue his dreams.
Whenever Huang Doudou expressed his desire to learn dance, his parents would do their best to create the best environment for him.
Although at first, they only guided and supported it as a personal hobby. But with the passage of time, when they saw Huang Doudou's increasingly ardent enthusiasm for dance, they began to gradually realize that this dedication to art has gone beyond the interests of ordinary children, and is becoming Huang Doudou's lifelong pursuit and career direction.
So, in order to let their son's dance dream be firmly paved on the road of life, the parents decided to go all out and spare no effort to support Huang Doudou's dance career.
They know that only in this way can their son really have the opportunity to display his talents and bloom his own brilliant flowers.
Humiliation in the face of reality
It's a pity that God is jealous of talent, just when Huang Doudou's parents carefully arranged for him to study in the middle school affiliated to Beijing Dance Academy, a heavy blow hit Huang Doudou's vigorous artistic ideals and pursuits.
It turned out that Huang Doudou's natural body proportions were seriously out of proportion, and his lower limbs were obviously too short, far from the standard body of a professional dancer. When he stood in front of the interviewers with excitement and longing, he was ruthlessly rejected and questioned.
According to the general requirements, the length of the lower limbs of an excellent male dancer should be at least 12 cm longer than the upper body, which is the basic physical condition necessary for a dance career.
However, Huang Doudou's lower limbs are only 8 centimeters longer than his upper body, which is far from the standard.
The obvious defects in his body structure doomed him to be unable to enter a professional dance school, let alone display his talent on stage in the future. When the interviewer talks about the importance of body proportions, Huang Doudou's eyes begin to dim, and his confident expression gradually disappears, replaced by loss and helplessness.
This is undoubtedly the first severe test that Huang Doudou suffered in his life. Although his talent for dancing has long been revealed, talent alone cannot compensate for his physical shortcomings.
For a child who dreams of becoming a dancer, this is simply a slap in the face, and it is a blow to his longing and pursuit of a dance career.
At that time, Huang Doudou's expression was gloomy, his shoulders were slight, and when he exited the interview scene, his face was full of disappointment and frustration. He had imagined countless times in his dreams that he was dancing on stage in a beautiful dance costume.
But now, this dream seems to be far away.
The inner loss almost swallowed the beans. However, at this low point, his mind still reverberated with the pure joy and satisfaction that dance brought him.
In those years, whenever he witnessed the wonderful performances of the dancers on the stage, Huang Doudou's eyes would shine, and his whole body would be filled with unprecedented joy and excitement.
Yes, dance has long been deeply imprinted in his heart and has become the most important and fundamental part of his life. And this setback is not the end, but just a new starting point, which will make him more courageous, harder, and more tenacious.
Therefore, Huang Doudou did not give up, but gritted his teeth and made up his mind to break through all this, and one day make his dance dream come true.
Mother's diligent guidance
In the face of the school's rejection, Huang Doudou was naturally extremely disappointed and frustrated. But his mother was not crushed by reality, but ignited a more ardent fighting spirit and determination.
As a stage artist, she knows her son's innocent love for dance, and she also sees Huang Doudou's innate talent. She was determined to find a way to help her son realize his dream of stage.
In this way, Huang Doudou's longing dream was fully supported and encouraged by his mother. In order to allow her son to overcome the defects in his body, the mother specially designed a set of seemingly simple but cruel "devil" training.
She hung two overlapping hoops from the beams of the room, and asked Huang Doudou to hang upside down on them every day, enduring both physical and mental torture. For a ten-year-old child, this is undoubtedly an unimaginable ordeal.
At first, Huang Doudou could barely hold on to the hoop for dozens of seconds, and then he would have snot and hot tears in pain. It was as if the body had been torn apart, and every muscle was screaming pain.
But he never thought of giving up, but gritted his teeth and challenged his limits again and again.
After every training, Huang Doudou was holding his sore lower abdomen, his eyes were red, and he silently shed bitter tears. But instead of complaining to his mother, he secretly made up his mind to keep up the good work and never give up until the day when his dream became a reality.
Seeing this, although the mother felt extremely distressed for her son, she understood that this was the only way to grow up. So, she secretly cheered up the spirit of 120,000 points, tirelessly encouraged her son, and guided Huang Doudou's every training with a strict standard.
In this way, under the careful guidance of his mother and Huang Doudou's own tenacious perseverance, after a period of exercise, Huang Doudou was unconsciously able to hold on to the hoop for several minutes, or even more than ten minutes.
Every time he fell to the ground, although he was bruised and in pain, he was filled with joy and pride deep down.
Finally, just when Huang Doudou was about to turn ten years old, his body proportions finally underwent a revolutionary change - the length of his lower limbs actually increased to 12 centimeters longer than his upper body, reaching the professional standards of dancers! All these efforts are hidden behind heavy sweat and tears, and are the results of Huang Doudou's real efforts and persistence.
The road to the stage
Although he escaped the cruel test of reality for the first time, Huang Doudou still faces more difficult challenges. In order to pursue his long-awaited dream of dancing, he once again lifted his spirits and devoted himself to the recruitment of professional dance schools.
This time, he used his tenacity and hard work to finally convince the judges and was honorably admitted to the prestigious Shanghai Dance Academy. When he learned the good news of being admitted, Huang Doudou's eyes couldn't help but moisten, and his excitement was overflowing.
For him, it was a major turning point in his life.
After entering the academy, Huang Doudou devoted himself to the study of dance courses like a thirst. His passion will never be diminished by the ordeal, but after that ordeal, his dedication to dance has become more fiery and pure.
During his six years on campus, Huang Doudou has always maintained excellent academic performance, whether it is professional dance classes or cultural courses, he strives to improve and climb the peak, which can be described as a model student.
In his spare time, he always tirelessly practiced every movement in the dance room, pursuing the ultimate perfection of dance.
Finally, at the age of 16, in the first Shanghai Folk Dance Competition, Huang Doudou won the applause of the audience with his superb dance skills and unique choreography.
When he danced on the stage in a colorful dance costume, the audience was mesmerized. This is undoubtedly a good start on his stage performance road, and it is also the best affirmation of his years of hard work.
Immediately after the age of 18, Huang Doudou appeared on CCTV's Spring Festival Gala, which attracted national attention. When he shocked the national audience with his sonorous and powerful "Drunken Drum", everyone's eyes flashed with admiration.
Huang Doudou finally proved his extraordinary talent to the world with practical actions.
Since then, Huang Doudou has embarked on his own stage road. In 1997, his talent was internationally recognized, and Huang Doudou won a gold medal for his outstanding dance performance at a competition in Pyongyang, North Korea, which brought the world's attention to the extraordinary achievements of the Chinese dancer.
Along the way, Huang Doudou has written his own dance legend bit by bit with perseverance, courage and sweat. All the glory stems from his never giving up his inner dream, but also from his pure love for art.
Happy and happy now
After countless heavy blows and hardships, Huang Doudou finally climbed to the pinnacle of his career with extraordinary perseverance and unremitting efforts, and became an outstanding representative and mainstay of the Chinese dance industry.
Today, he has served as the vice chairman of the Chinese Dancers Association, and his status is highly respected.
However, in addition to the impressive achievements in Huang Doudou's life, the course of his emotional life is also touching and embarrassing. It turned out that as early as 1998, Huang Doudou had already met his current wife, Miss Su Yi.
It's just that at that time, they were strangers to each other, and they simply nodded their heads.
It wasn't until two years later, in 2000, that fate finally linked the fate of the two together. That year, Huang Doudou was faced with the dilemma of lacking an excellent choreographer for his dance work "The Sky Outside the Window".
Just when he was anxious, he suddenly remembered Miss Su Yi who left a deep impression on him back then, so he took the initiative to invite her over, hoping that she could be the choreographer and director of this work.
It turned out that Su Yi studied in the directing department of Shanghai Theater Academy and was the best candidate for stage choreographer. The two are intertwined by their common artistic pursuits, and start a sweet love story.
However, this relationship was strongly opposed by Su Yi's mother at first. As an elder with traditional concepts, Su Yi's mother has a certain degree of prejudice against literary and artistic workers, and she believes that these people are usually more suave and easy to trample on and hurt her daughter's feelings.
In addition, Huang Doudou is more than half a head shorter than Su Yi, which also makes the prospective mother-in-law have great concerns.
In the face of many obstacles, Huang Doudou still firmly guards the woman he loves. When Su Yi's mother encountered a health crisis, Huang Doudou personally cooked nutritious and delicious fish soup for her, showing his sincere and considerate side.
This finally touched the heart of her mother-in-law, and she acquiesced to the relationship between the two.
A few years later, in 2005, Huang Doudou and Su Yi entered the palace of marriage with the blessings of relatives and friends, and since then they have spent every day of their lives happily together.
In order to support each other's careers, they temporarily decided to postpone their birth plans.
It wasn't until 7 years later that a cute little princess finally came to their family and brought endless joy to this loving couple. The moment the baby fell to the ground, Huang Doudou's eyes couldn't help but moisten, and his heart was filled with unparalleled happiness and pride.
After another 4 years, the addition of a lively and lovely baby boy added more laughter to the family. Since then, Huang Doudou's family has been happy, with the thoughtful love of a virtuous and beautiful wife, and the company of a lovely daughter and son, building a happy family.
Their marriage lasted for 19 years, but they have always maintained the sincere love in the early days of marriage, which makes people can't help but sigh "If you have this virtuous inside and outside, what more can you ask for"! It is this sweet marriage that makes Huang Doudou's life journey a complete meaning.
