At almost 60, Jiang Tiehong, dean of the Dance Academy of Minzu University of China (MUC), became an overnight sensation. Wearing a grey polo shirt and black leather shoes that framed his fuller figure, his viral performance of a Mongolian folk dance captured millions of views. While he may not have a typical dancer's waist, his movements possess a "strength in softness" and a raw power that resonates across generations.

Beyond the viral clips lies a story of resilience. After multiple injuries and a life-threatening illness, Jiang learned to "let go." His obsession with the fierce confidence of dance brought him back to the stage. Today, he is embracing AI technology to preserve the soul of ethnic dance for the future.
