[Concurrent] Guiyang, 72-year-old pole dance enthusiast Zhang Xida
In fact, in my mind, pole dancing is quite beautiful, and it looks good when jumping. A person who is my age, dancing this dance, feels very happy and very happy.
Exercising must be healthy and must restore my young state. I don’t want to be like this when I grow old. I said I must restore my bouncing (state) when I was young.
[Explanation] Zhang Xida, a 72-year-old citizen of Guiyang, is a pole dance enthusiast.
After being exposed to pole dancing at the age of 65, Zhang Xida's love for pole dancing became uncontrollable.
Now, even though he has entered the rarest years, he is still able to maintain a vigorous state and complete a series of difficult pole dancing techniques.
[Explanation] Recently, the reporter met Mr. Zhang in a dance classroom in Guiyang.
Accompanied by the music melody, Zhang Lao showed neat and tidy movements such as the one-character horse, flying swallow, bow and arrow.
Faced with the surprises displayed by others, Zhang Lao became more confident.

These difficult movements, some of the movements that you can't do, are basically bad ligaments and poor strength, you can't do it when you go up.
What you need to strengthen is the usual exercise of basic skills, because pole dancing is different from other things.
This is not difficult, this is easy to do.
[Explanation] After retiring from Guiyang in 2005, Mr. Zhang lived with his daughter in Chengdu, Sichuan Province for more than 10 years.
In 2014, Zhang Lao was attracted by the charm of pole dancing while working out in Chengdu. He decided to challenge pole dancing. After initial attempts, Zhang Lao received a "limit signal" from his body.

When I danced, I felt very tired. I did a trick. Those young people didn't get tired after doing it. I was sweaty all over. I knew that my health was not good and my heart was not good. At that time, something went wrong.
[Explanation] From that time on, Zhang Lao cared more about his physical condition. After adjusting for almost half a year, Zhang Lao returned to the dance classroom.
And this time he returned to training, while changing his mentality, he was also completely crazy in love with pole dancing.

I still insist on practicing every day, and I will gradually heal (illness) after practicing. One month is better than one month's physical fitness, and the effect is better than the original.
It hurts here and there, it hurts, just go dancing, and get rid of it all, don't think about it so much.
Go to the gym to work out, go to the dance studio to work out, don’t think about it when you’re this age, just go for exercise every day and live happily.
Because my time is tight, I don’t have time to take a nap. After eating, I have to go to school and go to school to practice my (dance). Sometimes (evening) I go home at 8 or 9 o’clock.
[Explanation] Nowadays, pole dancing can no longer satisfy Zhang Lao's pursuit.
In order to be able to make his body more coordinated and show more soft movements, he began to learn dance, preparing to incorporate dance elements into his performance.

Because I like dancing, I like dancing very much. I like both folk dance and classical dance.
The dance is combined with steel pipes, silks, and rings. Dance, and then put on the steel pipes and rings. It is better and more beautiful.

Just live broadcast, some people said that he was 72 years old, deceptive.
Some people said: "It's not him who danced the pole, it was two people." If you want to reply to him, you will rarely argue with him. I can only ask him to search Baidu and read (news).
[Explanation] Regarding the question of age, Zhang's heart has long been calm.
If he does not perform or win the public's attention, the 72-year-old Zhang Lao believes that he is just chasing his old age dreams and expressing his attitude towards life.

I just like the (lifestyle) of young people. I don’t like the average old people. They old people just play chess in the park. Sometimes you say me, I say you, play chess, you can’t, I can’t, so I do not like.
Slowly getting old is to watch. If I can jump, I will continue to jump. If I jump for another 20 years, I will be happier.
