The most interesting thing is that here, if you are lucky, you will see a high level of street art performance. There will always be such inadvertent little surprises during the trip, and we are lucky.
Ximending at night is already buzzing with people
Buskers
This is an intersection in the Ximending neighborhood with a small square. Seeing that someone was going to perform, I waited next to me. It looked like it had just been performed, during a short break. How is this bald big man a little familiar?
The performance begins
At this time, there were already tourists who recognized him, and he was Hu Qizhi. Hu Qizhi, born in 1981, was a final four player in the second season of The China's Got Talent in 2011. With the "Dream Crystal Ball" performance, he participated in the 2011 China Got Talent Show, won all the votes of the judges, entered the Great Hall of the People to perform the "Big Ring Stunt" and won the highest score of 105 points that night, and successfully advanced to the final of the annual grand ceremony of China's Got Talent. In 2012, Hu Qizhi participated in the CCTV Spring Festival Gala and performed the crystal ball "Attachment". In 2013, the Chinese gold steel ring stunt was recorded in the Guinness Book of World Records.
Luck is really good, hurry up and take out the camera, try to record a few clear videos, the video will be published later, please pay attention.
Crystal ball performance
Hu Qizhi performs the Dance of the Crystal Ball Now, in addition to spending 15 to 20 hours a week practicing ring skills in the borrowed activity center venue, he also arranges two jazz dances, a ballet class and a tango for himself; through the dance lessons, in addition to helping to relax the crotch, training coordination and balance skills, he can also absorb the elements of dance and enrich the movements and connotations of the performance.
Wonderful golden steel ring performance
In order to study ring skills and go out of his own style, he twice went to montreal, Canada, where he was born, for further study, he practiced diligently on weekdays, and also suffered a lot of "necessary pains", including spraining a toe and a finger, slipping and falling to the ground and being hit by an aluminum ring on his forehead, stitching 13 stitches; and once fell to his shoulder, rested for 2 months, and still faintly painful. Just to practice the self-created secret book that no one in the world has yet performed, the "back rotation" of face to face and back to the ground, the fear to overcome is even worse than the "frontal rotation" of the leaning posture, not to mention the thick cocoon on the hand and the scars on the arms.
A short video of the performance, and two separate releases
After the performance, tourists came forward to encourage
Everyone's sponsorship, visual measurement is not much, dozens of Taiwan dollars per person hard
I like Hu Qizhi's posture at this time, humble and courteous.
It's time to take a break between performances again
"As street performers, they seem defenseless and unsuspecting, but they are the ones who have the power and can create miracles." This is one of the promoters of Taiwanese street art and the director of "Huichuan Gathering" Zhang Forget's comment on Hu Qizhi, "He is a rare talented performer on the streets of Taiwan, and he understands better than anyone the importance of continuous cultivation." ”
There are also two more wonderful videos, which will be released tomorrow.
Stay tuned.
