Cheng Xiao's Qipao dance performance in Masked Dancing King S3 Final Episode

[@liang-yi]

這個是在講一部電影「金陵十三金釵」，抗日戰爭在南京十三位風塵女子跟女學生之間的故事。 開場是13位女學生的裝扮，但她們內裡其實是風塵女子。 紅絲巾很多時候表達鮮血，圍成一圈的紅絲巾表達南京城被圍，中間十字架的部分，意味犧牲。紅絲巾遮面意味遍地烽火。 最後風塵女子代替女學生進了賊窩，用街舞製造風塵女子跟日軍之間衝突的感覺，戰爭的不協調、不舒適、故意讓觀賞者感到不快。 最後一排女子談笑風生的前行是電影中非常重要的一幕，表達這些女人中的女人、英雄中的英雄，她們的瀟灑與撫媚，她們的自由與愛情。 如果知道這個故事會對這個編舞更有感觸吧～～

Thank you so much for explaining the story, I felt all the sadness and glory of the dance ever more after reading it. Cheng Xiao’s face is such a beautiful and full of expressions art the same as her body and synchronization with other dancers is wonderful.

[@HuaWei-qk4vg]

Much appreciate your kind explanation to this dance. Didn't know that there's a history to it. Cheers😊

This is about the movie "Jinling Thirteen Beauties", which tells the story of thirteen prostitutes and female students in Nanjing during the Anti-Japanese War. The opening scene shows 13 female students dressed up, but they are actually prostitutes. Red scarves often represent blood. The red scarf formed in a circle represents the siege of Nanjing. The cross in the middle symbolizes sacrifice. Covering one's face with a red scarf means that there is war everywhere. In the end, the prostitute went to the enemy instead of the female student, using hip-hop dancing to create the feeling of conflict between the prostitute and the Japanese army. The incongruity and discomfort of the war deliberately made the viewer feel unhappy. The last row of women walking forward chatting and laughing is a very important scene in the movie, expressing these women among women, heroes among heroes, their chicness and charm, their freedom and love. If you know this story, you will have more feelings about this choreography~~

Cheng Xiao's performances are truly artistic and I never get bored of watching them.

[@hamilcross]

everyone talks about her flexibility (and I totally get that) but she has the overall elegance of a classically trained dancer. the way she holds her shoulders and arms, her pointed feet, they’re all so pretty.

[@RosiaAsha]

THIS!!!

Its the attitude, her gesture, posture, facial expression n much more which makes her so special

[@sssylph]

the choreography and story is based on the film “the flowers of war”, which is a fictionalised portrayal of real events that took place during the second sino-japanese war. it tells the story of schoolgirls who fled to a cathedral for refuge, later followed by a group of prostitutes who hid in the cellar. japanese forces then invaded the cathedral and demanded for the schoolgirls who weren’t hiding in the cellar to sing for them. basically the prostitutes decided to protect the schoolgirls by taking their place. they then disguised themselves as schoolgirls and hid knives they made in their clothes, and at the end, we see these “flowers of nanking” being led away by the japanese soldiers, their fate unknown, though it’s clear that they’ve martyred themselves for the schoolgirls’ freedom. i think the choreography expressed the bravery of the girls, comradeship between girls, and tragic nature of the story really well. the qipao, pipa (the instrument she held at the beginning), singing style, traditional elements of dance (fyi the choreography for this particular performance is not entirely traditional due to the nature of the program, they had to meld street dance into it as well (which is a whole umbrella term, look it up to see what it consists of)) are all very much parts of chinese culture.

Strictly speaking, this is jazz dance with only a couple of Chinese style elements. This is not "Chinese dance" which would be Chinese classical dance 古典舞
