Talent and love: from a small mountain village to the stage of the Spring Festival Gala
Yang Liping was born in an ordinary Bai family, and showed a strong interest in dance since she was a child, without professional teacher guidance, without gorgeous stage and lighting, she followed the old people in the village to learn, in the fields, on the shore of Erhai Lake, with immature limbs, imitating the charm of all things in nature

At the age of 13, Yang Liping's dance talent was discovered by the teacher of the song and dance troupe who came to select actors, and her life trajectory changed from then on
In 1986, Yang Liping took her own solo dance "Spirit of the Sparrow" on the stage of the National Dance Competition, this work is inspired by the elegant posture and smart charm of the peacock, and integrates Yang Liping's unique understanding of nature, life and national culture

In 2024, Yang Liping will return to the stage with a newly created dance drama "Peacock", this time, she challenges a larger scale and incorporates more reflections on life, love and humanity into her dance
The new version of "Peacock" has sparked huge controversy on the Internet, the most controversial of which is the male dancer's near-naked costume and bold physical contact with Yang Liping, some netizens believe that such a performance is too "inappropriate for children" to perform in public, especially if there are minors watching

In the face of doubts, Yang Liping responded in an interview that art comes from life, but it is higher than life, dance is an art form that expresses emotions, costumes and movements are to better interpret the role and express emotions, not deliberately pursue sensory stimulation, she believes that the audience should try to appreciate the work with an artistic eye, rather than judging with a secular eye
This controversy over the peacock dance has once again brought a commonplace topic to the fore: where are the boundaries of art? How to balance the relationship between freedom of artistic expression and social order and good customs? This is a question that has no standard answer, and everyone may have a different answer in their mind

Some people questioned Yang Liping's lifestyle as too "pretentious", and some even suggested that she replace it with fake nails, in Yang Liping's view, these long nails are not only decoration, but also a symbol of her integration with dance, she once said in an interview: "My nails have become a part of my body, I can't imagine what life would be like without them"

In the entertainment industry, there are many examples of "dedication" to art like Yang Liping, actor Zheng Kai gained 40 pounds in a short period of time in order to better interpret the middle-aged athlete role in the movie "Transcendence", this kind of "self-destructive image" style of performance made him present a shocking sense of reality in the film, and also let the audience see his plasticity and professionalism as an actor
Another actor, Qin Hao, also gained 20 pounds in order to play the bloated middle-aged policeman in the TV series "The Long Season", and made himself "unrecognizable" through special effects makeup
