Later, Ma studied at the Beijing Dance Academy. Since 2019, he has been teaching classical Chinese dance at Goldsmiths, University of London.

One day, he took his wife’s suggestion and danced at Greenwich Park, a popular place for tourists. She took videos of Ma. He then edited(剪辑)the video, added music and sent it to friends, who loved it and inspired him to share it online. From then on, Ma made more short videos. As his videos went popular, he received messages from people around the world.
“Now, making and sharing short videos has become a part of my life, and, most importantly, a great way to introduce traditional Chinese dance to more people, especially those in foreign countries,” said Ma.

Hua Chenyu is a Chinese male singer and song writer who got known after winning 2013 Super Boy, a Chinese singing show for males. He then has been well-known, making wonderful songs and even appeared on the Singer China 2018! Nicknamed “Weirdo” and “Brother from Mars”, Hua Chenyu is also known for his powerful talents.
On April 25, Hua won the first place of Hunan TV’s Singer 2020. He became the first post-90s generation winner and the youngest champion of the yearly competition, which has been held for four years.

When he took part in Hunan TV’s singing competition show Super Boy in 2013, Hua performed a song that had no words. In the song Why Nobody Fights, he repeatedly sang the words “why nobody fights” over different melodies(旋律).
For Hua, popularity is not the most important. Instead, he prefers that his music can be different from the others.
“If one day, my song is sung by everybody on the streets, I might no longer want to sing it,” Hua said. “I want to experience something new, and would be happy if people can accept different music styles. This would encourage me to produce better music and more fun things.”

My favorite proverb
Among so many proverbs, I like “The early bird catches the worm.” best.
It means that to be successful, one needs to start early or before anyone else. It advises us to seize the day and take every opportunity. That’s why I like it.
Looking back, I have come to realize that success never goes to those who are lazy. Often the most successful people are those who do something before anyone else does. Success takes hard work and time. The earlier one wakes up, the more work time one will have and the more one will get.
Are you an early bird
