Gen Z Lion Dancers Of TikTok Fame: Is Passion Enough?

[@SeashellSellerSeafarer]

This dude's so inspiring in terms of how principled and responsible he is at our age

[@awkwardsmile]

Props to both CNA Insider for featuring this and bringing awareness to this lion dance troupe and to Nicolas for carrying on the tradition, breaking stereotypes and being a mentor to others despite your young age. I think I can speak for a lot of us who are not on tiktok and unaware of your initiative. Keep going and do your father/family/country/Chinese traditions proud!

[@RonLarhz]

He did look ah beng but won me over when he say it's not man or woman thing, everyone got feelings. He seems mature enough n trying to do better than previous gen. Kudos for that.

[@YLYLCSYH1607]

I grew up with watching the Lion Dance. It is beautiful, powerful and precious. I admire this group for keeping it alive with such love and passion. I hope to see them perform one day. Thank you. xxx

Lion dancing is great. It is a combination of performing arts, martial arts and physical sport all rolled into one. Our government should encourage this activity as it helps builds confidence, pride, resilience, teamwork, leadership and a competitive spirit. It provides young men and women, an outlet for physical activity in which to occupy their time in a good productive way, in the same way as sports like football does for middle & working class in the UK. So they have little spare time or energy, to be lured by others into undesirable activities. Besides improving physical coordination, physical fitness, cultural traditions are passed down, thus strengthens community bonds, in turn helps young people to feel a sense of belonging and above all, brings alot of festivity to our communities.

[@chengzhongyi5564]

Well done - challenging and breaking boundaries. Keep it up.

[@cordentong947]

They are still very determined to continue the lion dance culture which is inspiring. 😊

[@muhammadnazrul6320]

I don't understand those who complained about the noise..come on lah, it's not like they play for 24/7. Similar goes to Chinese wake, Malay wedding, etc.

[@EasternKalogeros]

Wow.... these young people are just awesome... support.

[@MsLilac88]

I always love watching the lion dance performance since my childhood years, we should preserve this culture that’s slowly fading, it’s part of our heritage during the lunar new year period. 😊
