Nymph in water: China’s viral dance video records 20 million views already

To control buoyancy, He wears on specially adapted weights of about 10 kilograms to help her stay submerged. She also tied fishing lines to her costumes to prevent the material from becoming entangled under water.

Without the use of breathing apparatus, she took a large gulp of air before entering the water.

Quote

 

Ode to the Goddess of the Luo River, a signature work by Cao Zhi, the son of Cao Cao, a warlord of the Eastern Han Dynasty (25-220), tells the story of the son's enchantment with the goddess of the Luo River. She is believed to be the daughter of emperor Fuxi of prehistoric legend, who became a nymph after drowning in the river, a tributary of the mighty Yellow River.

Her story has been the inspiration for countless contemporary artists, who have portrayed the goddess of peerless beauty through various art forms, like movies and dance dramas.

On June 12, the Goddess of the Luo River came alive in a video shared by Henan TV Station on social media platform Sina Weibo. Not surprisingly, it went viral and has been viewed more than 20 million times.

But the reason the video, which runs for around two minutes and is titled Rhapsody on the Luo River Goddess, created such an impression and has generated such a wave of publicity, is that it was shot underwater. He Haohao plays the role of goddess. She masters not only her art but the technique of holding her breath as her lungs struggle to carry out their function. All this is done with the most serene expression.

Without the use of breathing apparatus, she took a large gulp of air before entering the water.

"It took the team about 20 seconds to fix my long robes in the water, which are made of silky cloth. The longest piece of cloth is about six meters. Then I danced in the water and held my breath for another 20 to 40 seconds. We repeated that process many times," says He, adding that she cannot remember how many times she returned to the water. "We spent about eight hours in the water during the production."
