How Xinjiang's acrobats overcome challenges in 'pole swinging'
05:11

At the age of 26, Diljar once stood on the world's highest acrobatic podium to perform "pole swinging." After his associate for more than a decade left, he faced the pressure of gelling with a new partner, the 2001-born Nurziya. In the "old leads new" style of training, the new partner experiences a period of pain in adjustment, and the senior's strict training regime leaves the woman exhausted. However, the rigorous training is to avoid unnecessary injuries. Together, they make unremitting efforts to preserve the inheritance of traditional Chinese performing arts.
