Clearly, the veteran artist was also well aware of the dance's flaws.
After her performance, while waiting backstage, she spoke with a hint of regret. "Even though I spent a long time preparing this dance, I've never been quite satisfied with it.
I feel it could be even better, and the choreography could be bolder.
The music limited me, so there were many ideas I couldn't bring to life."
Someone nearby, puzzled, asked in a low voice, "In that case, why didn't you ask Jiang Qin to compose the music?
When it comes to understanding ancient-style music, she's considered the best in the genre right now..."
The veteran artist smiled sheepishly. "I did consider it, but she was going through a crisis at the time, and I didn't feel it was right to disturb her.
Besides, it was my first time trying something like this, so I felt it would be a waste of one of her compositions."
"You're being too modest. Anyone who saw that dance would call it breathtaking."
