The first time I came in touch with hip-hop dance was when I was in the 8th grade. After graduating middle school, I started to passionately learn hip-hop dance, and since then my dancing skills improved drastically.

第一次接触街舞是我在读初二的时候。初中毕业后的那个假期，我都在疯狂的练习街舞，我的街舞水平也从那时起有了一个质的飞跃。

During the two years when I was 17 and 18, I entered many dancing competitions and won many of them. I reached a point of my teenage life where I finally found the courage to show off my talents and was actually good at it. However, I started to learn about HIP-HOP culture more thoroughly, and the idea I once had about dancing -to perform only in order to show off my skills- slowly changed. Now, my dancing style becomes clearer and clearer over time, and I started to understand what I actually want.

在我17、18岁的这两年时间里，我获了很多奖，那个时候也是我最愿意表现自己的年纪。不过，从19岁开始，我开始去了解HIPHOP文化的底蕴，曾经想要通过成绩展现自己舞蹈水平的想法也在慢慢改变，舞蹈风格也随着时间的推移越来越清晰。我开始知道自己想要什么了。

I still remember when I first started to learn hip-hop dance, I slept in dance studios on Fridays and Saturdays. My monthly pocket money was also spent on competitions and classes taught by dance masters. At that time, I was learning dance movements through online videos, so I would be very excited whenever there was a great dancer willing to teach me in real life.

我还记得刚开始学习街舞的时候，每周五、周六的晚上我都睡在舞蹈室，每个月攒的零花钱也都用在了参加比赛和上舞蹈大师的课。那时，我都是通过网络视频来学习舞蹈动作的，所以，要是有厉害的舞者愿意教我动作，我都会激动的不得了。

The development of hip-hop dance in China gets better over time. Today, all kinds of videos, from dancing competition footages to dancing tutorial videos instructed by dancing masters, can be found easily on the internet, and I feel like it’s a big shame if dancers don’t use all those materials as learning sources. There are also more and more parents enrolling their children in hip-hop dance courses -I personally have had several very talented students-, however, they are often too burdened with schoolwork, so they don’t have enough time to practice dancing more seriously.

随着时代的进步，街舞在国内发展的越来越好，各类比赛视频，还有大师的教学视频，都可以通过网络找到资源，倒是身边的很多舞者都不懂得应用这类资源，感觉很可惜。也有越来越多的家长会选择让孩子学习街舞，我本人也教过几位优秀的学生，但是现在的学生学业负担太重，课余时间要参加各种补习班，根本没有太多的精力专心练舞。

I’ve have always had this big dream about dancing. I dream that one day, through my hard work, I will be able to represent China in world-class dancing stages. Even though today this dream feels so far away, I believe that if I continue working hard and being determined, it will gradually get closer and closer. 

自己一直怀揣的一个舞蹈梦，那个梦很大，我想要通过自己的努力，有一天，能让我的舞蹈代表中国走到世界的舞台。虽然梦想感觉很遥远，但自己一直都在努力，坚持，慢慢的突破自己。

At the night of January 8th, 2018, my brother "DB Studio" A Wei has won the “Locking” group title at “2018JusteDebout China Division”, and will represent China in France. I was very excited at the moment he won, and also sincerely happy for this brother. And, of course, that night our friends in the circle burst with excitement…

就在今年的1月8日晚上，我的一个好哥哥DB Studio阿伟拿下了【2018JusteDebout中国赛区】Locking组的冠军，将代表中国前往法国参赛。他夺冠的那一刻我很激动，也由衷的替这位哥哥感到高兴，当然那天晚上的朋友圈也被这件大喜事刷爆了…….

A Wei has showed me that my dream is not impossible to reach. Therefore, I have to firmly believe in my dream and have to chase it. No matter what the final result is, I must work hard for it.

所以，我要坚信自己的梦，要一直去追，不论最终结果如何，我都要为此去拼搏。
