Would you meet 14-year-old Zhang Hao, who started to train on slack wire at the age of six. With his excellent balancing skills, he was the best among his peers when it came to walking and performing stunts on the slack wire. Like everybody else, he couldn't balance on the soft and bouncy slack wire at first. He then followed his teacher's guidance and practiced on the ground before attempting to take to the slack wire assisted by guide ropes. When he was growing up, he was passionately obsessed about acquiring the skills to take this nerve-racking balancing act to the next level. He later added stunt moves to his routines.
