I have found that there are few comments in English. I would like to write something more in English to let you have better understanding. The performance is really fantastic and touching. After watching several videos about this dancing piece, the Dancers explained that they were inspired by a true story : A girl loved a boy for 3 years but the boy didn't know. One day, the girl has expressed her love to the boy finally. The next day, this girl was infected by COVID-19. The Dancers wanted to tell everyone : Life is short , cherish the person you love : lovers, family and friends . Part of music script was played by a special kind of Chinese music instrument which will normally be used either during Chinese Wedding ceremony or Funeral ceremony. That's why we can imagine the bride was dead. It is just an imagination by the bridegroom. This is the most hitting point of the whole performance. Audience will be drawn to cry. The Dancers wanted to tell their happy memories at the beginning of dancing piece. After the kiss, the bridegroom realized something wrong in his mind and got conscious of reality. He hit his head to the ground to express his pain in his heart. FYI, in a traditional Chinese wedding ceremony, there will be 3 bows, 1st for the God, 2nd for the Parents, 3rd for both couples. That is an expression of gratitude to the God and the Parents. Couples bow to each other to give a promise of protection to each other forever. Hope you can have better understanding. Enjoy the show!
When he say it’s a wedding music I thought there’s something wrong, because it’s not a happy music. I mean, if you heard a lot chinese music, you know that’s not really count as “happy”. So it’s also implied the -- at the beginning too.
Love the video but just a critic bc I felt like you should have added some more background info to make him get it on his own 1) in chinese weddings, one very common tradition is to bow three times one to heaven and earth one to your parents and one to each other. ( You will see that only the guy bows 3 times while the girl only does it once) 2) the instruments that are used in the song are very commonly used for both marriages and funerals (slowly show the contrast and that it is not a wedding but a funeral) 3) explain some of the lyrics that this song has. Since as it progresses you notice that the lyrics are talking about the traditional custom of a ghost marriage. Maybe this would be helpful for the next
Cici And Tao Tao Double Happiness piece is one of the highlight of SDC3. You don’t need to be Chinese or a Dancer to immerse and appreciate it. It’s that beautiful ❤️🌹❤️. According to Tao, the dance inspired of true story of a couple who fall in love with each other. When they finally get together and get married, She get very sick with Covid, she then died. The half part after the kiss, is when the wife get sick and eventually died.
