Li Hongxiao is a 35 years old man of talent from a village in Dazu, China’s southwestern Chongqing. Li began to learn lion dancing when he was eight. To compete with other lion dancing teams, Li, who makes a living by performing lion dancing, made the dancing more challenging by practicing the skill of lifting up heavy things with his teeth.
