“Quite naturally, I began to imitate Michael Jackson’s dancing, I learned as much and it is fairly alike. I feel that it is particularly fun myself, and this also became one of my trick moves. When I was young, I don’t like doing homeworks. When I don’t do a homework, my mom would get angry. When my mom gets really furious and mad at me, at this critical moment, I would just take off my shirt and stand in front of her, chest popped out and sing to Michael Jackson songs. I was fat that time, shaking the flabs of my body, while singing: “Beat It!”, my mom would guffaw every single time, with a super loud laugh. With a laugh, and with a smile, her bad temper would vanish.”
