China 1999

This is my experience in China in the Summer of 1999. If you came to this webpage first, it's better if you start from the beginning of the story. 7/11/99 Balancing Bowls, Chinese Acrobats, Beijing This is truly an amazing demonstration of balance, strength, flexibility and concentration. This lady is doing a handstand on top of a guy who is supporting both their weight on his head and feet(!) She is also balancing bowls on her head and feet! What this picture doesn't show you is that she can put the bowls on top of her head using only her feet! The guy also goes through some contortions on the ground as well while still supporting her. This is a scan of one of the postcards. The stage was too dark for me to take a picture with my camera. Click the BACK button to return to trip report China 1999
