As night falls, the lanterns are beginning to come on, and the neon lights are flashing in Liuzhou's style and customs, which are "every kind of style". Numerous street artists perform here, adding a different kind of "style" to Fengqinggang. Among them, a dancing youth is particularly eye-catching, with a black top hat and cropped trousers, classic "Beat it" music, and iconic space dance steps. Obviously, he is imitating the American Uranus superstar Michael Jackson.
street performances, for the performers, first need great courage, because you have to face all kinds of street audiences. From the number of onlookers and the applauded eyes, we can see that the willow version of "Michael Jackson" has a lot of popularity here. Obviously, he not only has the courage to perform in full view.
This willow version of "Michael Jackson" is called Liang Zaiyu, born in 1988. He is not a professional street performer. In real life, he is the sales director of a clothing company. Work during the day and perform at night, day after day, year after year. What made him persevere? That is what we call "dreams".
When Liang Zaiyu was in the second grade of elementary school, "Michael Jackson" from across the ocean entered the homes of ordinary people in China through pirated VCDs. Liang Zaiyu saw the oddly dressed "Michael Jackson" and his passionate dance steps for the first time in a neighbor's house. It was a shock from the heart. Since then, he has become a fan of this idol.
As a fan of "Mike", Liang Zaiyu is not content to admire him, but hopes that one day, he can dance like him. Liang Zaiyu, who was still in the second grade of elementary school and had no dancing skills, embarked on the road of imitation. In the age without computers, Liang Zaiyu watched the vcd over and over again, rewinding, playing, rewinding, playing again... He spent four or five hours a day imitating. Even so, he spent a few years and only part of the dance moves, but he didn't get away with it.
In order to practice, he emptied the hall of his home, installed a floor-to-ceiling mirror and a poster he designed, and turned it into his practice room. Here, after long-term practice, Liang Zaiyu's dance steps slowly took on the flavor of "Mike". As a result, he began to appear on stage in various school performances. The applause and cheers during the performance gave Liang Zaiyu confidence. Most importantly, he felt that only by standing on the stage can he be the closest to his idol.
In order to better imitate "Mike", he started to sew clothes by himself against the poster, hoping to be closer to the idol in appearance. This "Mike" classic crystal glove, with the "diamonds" on it, was sewed one by one by Liang Zaiyu for 3 hours every night for a week. Because he wants to lead a normal life, Liang Zaiyu bought a wig and trimmed it like "Mike". After such packaging, the Willow version of "Michael Jackson" was released.
As his dance moves become more and more adept, Liang Zaiyu is eager to have a stage of his own. He anxiously walked towards a port with a lot of people and bright lights. Liang Zaiyu still remembers that when he turned on the music and danced for the first time, he always wore sunglasses and looked around for fear of being recognized by acquaintances and friends. After all, in the presence of a large crowd, such a crazy dance can easily be understood as a "heterogeneous".
performed on the street, facing all kinds of people, everyone praised him, but also criticized and disdain. Some people think that he is just a performer, and some people think that he does not dance well. But more people saw his devotion, his persistence, and his devotion. This ordinary young man in Liuzhou has done his best. He came here, in itself worthy of admiration.
The street stage is very small, but the stage of life is huge. Liang Zaiyu released himself and gained happiness through street performances. If you pass there, regardless of whether he dances professionally or not, you might as well give this ordinary Liuzhou boy a little encouragement with applause, and give him a thumbs-up for his extraordinary dream!
