The evening glow outside cast a warm yellow hue over the room. Lin Xiao Yu had just finished an intense dance training session and collapsed onto the sofa, exhausted. Suddenly, her phone rang urgently; it was her mother calling. "Lin Xiao Yu, I have great news! Your brother Lin Dongzhe and Xiao Ting have registered their marriage!" Her mother's voice was brimming with excitement.
Lin Xiao Yu instantly sat up straight, her mouth slightly agape in shock, nearly dropping the towel in her hand. In her memory, although her brother had always been carefree at heart, marriage should not be rushed like this—quietly obtaining a marriage certificate was indeed bolder than she could have imagined. But after a moment, her shock transformed into joy; her eyes sparkled as she spoke into the phone, "Please congratulate my brother and sister-in-law for me! Their future together will surely be sweet and happy!"
Beside her, Lu Zean watched Lin Xiao Yu's reaction with amusement. Once she hung up, he wrapped his arm around her shoulder and smiled, "Your brother is quite efficient. Seeing them so happy makes me think about our future together." He gently squeezed her shoulder, his eyes filled with hope for their own future.
Lin Xiao Yu blushed and playfully glared at him before turning back to immerse herself in dance once more. In the studio, she moved gracefully, spinning and leaping without pause. Just then, Ma Zhao Zhao and Chen Yiran arrived for training. The three of them immediately embraced warmly upon meeting.
From then on, their practice breaks became a little cultural classroom. They spread out ancient texts and analyzed the graceful postures of Dunhuang's flying apsaras and the delicate charm of classical beauties. They dissected and imitated these movements, integrating them with modern dance techniques. Every gesture and hip twist was polished repeatedly as they sought to perfectly present the elegance and depth of traditional culture through dance, stepping boldly toward their dream stage.
In this century, the domestic dance scene was at a critical juncture of intense collision and fusion between tradition and modernity. Lin Xiao Yu shone like a meteor streaking across the night sky.
From a young age, Lin Xiao Yu had displayed extraordinary talent in dance. With her tall figure and perfect proportions, she exuded a natural grace in every movement. Techniques that others struggled to master after long hours of practice came easily to her with just a little guidance; she grasped both the skills and the essence effortlessly. After joining a professional dance troupe, she immersed herself in training, spending countless hours in the studio until her clothes were soaked with sweat.
At that time, amidst the wave of cultural diversity development, Lin Xiao Yu keenly captured the charm of blending tradition with contemporary styles. In preparation for the National Dance Competition, she spent all day in the library studying ancient texts on dance records, exploring the intricacies of various Chinese dance forms; she also roamed the streets observing emerging trends and diverse lifestyles. She skillfully combined the graceful movements of traditional dance with the vibrant energy of contemporary rhythms to choreograph a unique piece for her competition.
On the finals stage, lights focused on her as music began to play. Lin Xiao Yu wore a modified qipao that embodied both the elegance of traditional attire and modern fashion cuts. She opened with classic flowing sleeves that danced like clouds, evoking an ancient charm; in an instant, she transitioned into modern jazz rhythms—sharp yet carefree—captivating the audience below. The atmosphere ignited instantly with thunderous applause and cheers.
When she was crowned champion overnight, Lin Xiao Yu became an overnight sensation. Newspapers and magazines rushed to feature her story, while television programs invited her for interviews. Despite the overwhelming praise, Lin Xiao Yu remained humble; she devoted herself to teaching, sharing her methods of fusion through classes; she frequently traveled to rural areas and schools for performances just to let more people appreciate the beauty of traditional and contemporary dance—leaving a vibrant mark on the canvas of modern dance.
