  Some netizens commented that he is a "dancer who was delayed by farming", a "soul dancer", "a simple smile, greasy clothes, and beautiful dances. Although life is bitter, you can find fun in it." "Fat body, danced a slender and soft dance, cheering for you!" Someone said, "While everyone is appreciating, do you have a faint sadness in your heart?" Some people suggested that he go to "Avenue of Stars". A "dancer in the mountains" commented, "There is a lot of farm work at home, so he can't walk away."

  The reporter contacted the photographer "Dancer in the Mountains" via Douyin. He told the reporter that the dancing uncle of the Yi nationality was called Ma Jin, from Honghe Prefecture, Yunnan. He farmed for a living, and would go out to do odd jobs during the slack season.

“I’m doing management work in a private enterprise. He came to our factory to do odd jobs, watched him dance, and became friends. I met again in May this year, and I thought, many people on Douyin entertain themselves, do you want to take the uncle? Put his talents up to share with everyone." "Dancer in the mountains" told reporters, with a playful mentality, it became popular.

  "We don't have a fixed plan or goal. Ma Jin just dances and shoots what he wants to dance today. It reflects his real life. He hasn't studied professionally and choreographed dances according to his inner feelings. Peacock dances every time. The version of the jump is also different."

  Jump when you want to work, the villagers laughed at him as a "lunatic"

  "We made no profit from making short videos. We did the first live broadcast two days ago, and it cost tens of yuan for a show." "Dancers in the mountains" said, some people asked if they wanted to live with the goods, but we didn't understand those or Know how to monetize.

  In the interview, 50-year-old Ma Jin said that he had dropped out of the fourth grade of elementary school and had no education, but he liked to joke, laughed heartily, and brought the simplicity and wisdom of working people.

Although the conditions at home are average, Ma Jin said that if you have a full stomach, it is better not to get sick.

"Don't write about family matters on your face. I am a human being. I hope the video will bring happiness to everyone."

  "I started to learn to dance with the elderly when I was 13, and then watched TV to learn."

After dinner, during a break from watching TV, "I like watching variety shows and I want to learn folk dances. I also like teacher Yang Liping's dances. I also learn from her. I can incorporate her beautiful dances into my own dances." Ma Jin still remembered that there was one. During the New Year’s Torch Festival, Yang Liping came to the village school, “At that time, 80 of us danced with her for a photo. It’s a pity that we have no fate to talk about.”

  He laughed and said, “I’m a peacock who grows freely in the mountains. My daughter downloads the songs I like to listen to on my phone. I am weeding in the cornfield, listening to the music, and jumping when I think of it. Say, look at her husband who is crazy again. They say theirs, I dance my own. Those who dance are crazy, and those who dance are idiots. I laugh at them as idiots." Ma Jin not only dances by himself, but also The village elderly association teaches everyone to dance.

"People in the city dance the square dance. We dance the Yi dance."

  Dropping out of school early has no conditions to learn dance, now I’m working while learning

  Why didn't Ma Jin learn to dance?

Although he loves dancing, his family conditions do not allow it.

Ma Jin feels a bit regretful. In the past, for the sake of life and his parents, he had no chance to learn culture, but now he has no chance to learn culture for the sake of his children, but it is okay to watch the video and learn dance.

  "Now that I'm living well, I'm using tap water. I used to go far away to fetch water." The family's income relies on growing corn, sweet potato and pepper to sell. After the farm work in the field is finished, Ma Jin will go to the surrounding area to do odd jobs.

His day is like this: get up at six in the morning to feed the pigs, work in the fields, cook at noon, and work until seven in the afternoon.

"My daughter is married, and my son is in junior high school. It's mainly for me and my wife to work." He was busy with an income of 10,000 to 20,000 a year, and asked him whether he was suffering. He said, "Suffering is suffering, and the rural people have suffered."

  Sometimes gout attacks, but when someone comes to call Ma Jin to dance, he will forget the pain in his feet.

His wife would also ridicule him, "When people call you to dance, you don’t hurt; why I call you to take something, you say that your feet hurt." Ma Jin laughed and said that after 28 years of marriage, his wife said that, in fact, he felt sorry for him. .

  Ma Jin’s two children also dance. He also thought about sending them to dance to realize his unfulfilled dream. "But they are not interested, just say you dance yours. Young people have their favorite dances, they Modern dance and street dance are different from our time."
