In 2024, Jiang Tiehong led his students in the Mongolian dance Benteng, meaning "horse galloping." The video soon went viral.

For Jiang, Benteng is not just performance.  As a student, a performer, a teacher, Jiang has spent four decades inside this dance. Today, when his students see him still moving beside them – still galloping – they understand what it means to be unstoppable. A horse doesn't look back. It runs – faster, harder, through wind and rain.
