For nearly a year, I focused on filming and producing Beijing Linglong Park Square Dance and Zizhuyuan Square Dance without answering a single question. This is a question I would like to address:
Whenever the night falls and the breeze comes, in the parks and on the street squares, there is always a burst of beautiful, melodious and rhythmic music floating around. In the accompaniment of these intimate music, groups of middle-aged and elderly people dance to the beat, the scene is spectacular. Though their dance posture was stiff and their movements were not professional enough, their seriousness and enthusiasm were y touching. These people through the vicissitudes of life, finally looking forward to a carefree life, capricious display of the good times! It must be recognized that the birth of square dancing and its growth is another contribution of the Chinese nation to human development.

4,My love affair with square dancing. I paid little attention to square dancing before I retired and had little good impression of it. After retirement, I went to the Beijing Zizhuyuan migration one afternoon, I inadvertently saw the Ziyou Zizhu dance team in the Zizhuyuan Park East Gate near the Bamboo Plaza dance, the scene of many of the people to come to the public onlookers to take pictures. I was curious and stopped to watch, and before I knew it, I picked up my cell phone to take pictures. Back in the evening, I used today's headline app to search for "Zizhuyuan square dance", a video cover is beautiful, continuously watched more than a dozen videos, recognized Mr. Du, Xiaohong, celadon, Mengxuan, Qingxin and other teachers, I also tried to upload videos from the headline, I did not expect, a few hundred plays, a lot of fans praise and encouragement. Since September last year, I have focused on filming and producing Zizhuyuan Square Dance, and I have posted nearly 500-plus works on Headline to spread the word and publicize Zizhuyuan Square Dance, whose dances convey a sense of well-being, so beautiful and joyful, and pass the beauty and happiness on to the audience. During this period, I gained the most is the interactive communication with fans.
