An artist I like
Today I want to talk about an artist who bowled me over when I saw him first time in the Spring Festival Evening Party. His artistic name is Xiao Shenyang. He played a performance what is named Not Bad Money, it was so interesting that it blew me away very much. What was more, it also struck me as the wonderful acting. When I watched his performance, it floored me deeply because he looked as if a little bit foolish. However, after I watched it completely, it killed me extremely. Not only I liked it, but also a large number of people are dying to watch it again and again. On the contrary, also a great number of people held the opposite attitude, they hated him and blew up once thay watched him on TV, some of them even had a short fuse that someone mentioned him by accident. In my personal opinion, I also blew off some steam at first, but I pulled myself together right now. Because I felt that his performance is very exciting and it often cracks me up. Although a lot of people disagree with him, he never fell apart and never gave up. Because he believed that people would understand him one day and he could bring happiness to everyone. Anyway, no matter when and where he appears and whatever he does, he always wants to crack everyone up. So I sometimes think that he is too cracked. Considering, best wishes to him.
