At the end of 2022, the "Double Lifting and Lifting Soft Steel Wire" program created by Shenyang Acrobatic Performing Arts Group and starring Li Wei and Zhou Xiaowen won the "Chinese Acrobatics Golden Chrysanthemum Award" in one fell swoop for its superb acrobatic skills and wonderful live performance.
31-year-old Li Wei is a gold medal performer of Shenyang Acrobatic Performing Arts Group and the winner of the "Golden Clown" award at the 32nd Monte Carlo International Circus Festival in Monaco.
The theme of "Double Lifting and Lifting Soft Steel Wire" is to pay tribute to electric workers. In the program, the image of "electric workers" created by Li Wei walks on the top of the colorful clouds with a firm and steady posture, and performs father-son love with 13-year-old Zhou Xiaowen , Let the dedication of labor pass on from generation to generation.
The show broke through the traditional soft wire performance form, and performed the world's first "two people hugging the top", "two people shouldering the top" and "two people swinging down" and other difficult technical movements.
For two years as partners, Li Wei and Zhou Xiaowen have been training more than ten hours a day, and each set of movements has been repeated tens of thousands of times... Li Wei said that acrobatics is to make the impossible possible.
Today, they will continue to challenge more difficult acrobatic movements and skills. They are expected to participate in the Monte Carlo International Acrobatics Festival in 2024 and challenge the world's highest acrobatic award - the Golden Clown Award.
