Suddenly, the lights of the entire venue came on, illuminating the stage and audience like daylight. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, as if only now realizing the beauty and value of light, that darkness breeds evil, and only light can bring hope. But upon closer look, there seemed to be an extra person on stage. Fang Junjie, the young master of the Celestial Palace, was on stage, holding Fu Xiaotang, his face bearing a slight smile, standing confidently as if he was born to be there.
Fu Xiaotang’s dance shoes lay scattered on the floor. Now, looking at them, they were just ordinary red shoes, yet moments ago, they seemed almost magical. Someone started clapping, and soon, the entire venue was filled with thunderous applause, mixed with whistles and cheers, lasting for a long time. This was not only for the magnificent performance but also for the fairy tale about to unfold – whether it was the prince and the princess, Cinderella, or the sparrow turning into a phoenix.
After the lights came on, Fang Junjie’s appearance on stage, holding Fu Xiaotang, painted the most romantic and enchanting scene of this year’s “Dancing Competition,” which would be talked about for years to come.
In the “Red Shoes” story, the girl dies in her lover’s arms, who then takes off her red shoes for her. She says, “Finally, I don’t have to dance anymore. It feels so good.” Then, she closes her eyes, forever. In reality, Fang Junjie removed Fu Xiaotang’s dance shoes, crowning the “Dancing Competition” with the most beautiful and talented champion in its history.
