Recently, the National Freestyle Roller Skating Championship was held in Lishui, Zhejiang province. Qin Yuqing, a member of the national freestyle roller skating team, garnered an impressive triumph by securing the championship title in the Adult Women's Freestyle Roller Skating Style Round.
Dressed in a stunning attire inspired by the celestial singers and dancers, referred to as flying apsaras, depicted in the murals of Dunhuang's Mogao Grottoes located in Gansu province in Northwest China, Qin mesmerized the audience with her dazzling skating performance.
In perfect harmony, she skillfully blended dance, authentic Chinese attire, and diverse elements of Chinese artistry into her roller-skating performance during the competition.
At only 19 years old, this marked her debut in the adult division of competitive events.
Born in the year 2004, this young enthusiast of roller skating and traditional Chinese culture has already secured numerous victories in competitions
“It was love at first sight,” Qin began her roller skating journey when she was just 6 years old. She felt an indescribable bond to roller skating, and recognizing her passion, her parents swiftly enrolled her in the sport. From that moment on, she dedicated herself to daily practice.
Balancing her practice alongside daytime studies, Qin found herself training mostly at night. She faced challenges, including a serious fall that left her with a scar on her chin, requiring 13 stitches. Reflecting on this scar, she sees it as emblematic of her personal growth, a pivotal point in her journey that instilled greater resilience and fearlessness within her.
Stepping onto the competition stage initially brought about nervousness and mistakes for Qin, resulting in setbacks.
She recalled a moment when she fell in the middle of a competition, experiencing a pang of embarrassment, but quickly adjusting her mindset. "Failure is okay, what matters isn't whether you stumble, but whether you stand up again."
To ensure that the elegance of Chinese culture was impeccably displayed in roller skating competitions, Qin has invested a lot of time and energy.
She tirelessly refined her roller skating and dance skills, with each traditional outfit demanding meticulous design and tailoring to seamlessly incorporate cultural elements.
Upon entering university, Qin's understanding of Chinese culture deepened, leading to an even more harmonious fusion of national style and roller skating technique.
“I aspire to be more than just a roller skater; I aim to be an ambassador of Chinese culture, upholding and advancing our nation's magnificent heritage through the integration of roller skating and traditional aesthetics.”
I believe Qin Yuqing will definitely be able to promote Chinese culture and make more people fall in love with it through roller skating!
