"When I graduated, I also participated in some national competitions, but this was the first time I participated in such a professional repertoire rehearsal. I was just a group dancer. I was a little nervous and made a lot of mistakes." Zhang Junjie still feels a little uncomfortable when he recalls it now. Sorry, "Almost half a year of closed rehearsals really taught me a lot. During that time, I truly became a professional dancer."

The dance drama "Du Fu" has been successfully premiered in Chongqing in April 2016. He toured the country and was warmly welcomed by the audience. In September of that year, he was invited to participate in the National Center for the Performing Arts' autumn performance season.

"The first time "Du Fu" came to Beijing, all the experts and colleagues from Beijing faced it. It was probably the most nervous performance for the whole group, not to mention a newcomer like me, but in the end the audience was so excited The applause and cheers made everyone feel relieved," Zhang Junjie said.

At the end of 2016, "Du Fu" won the highest award in Chinese dance - the "Lotus Award ", achieving a breakthrough for Chongqing. Later, it also won the "Grand Slam" funded by the National Arts Fund and other awards. It has been in China so far. More than 120 performances inside and outside.

However, Zhang Junjie’s most unforgettable performance was the performance of "Du Fu" in front of his parents. "At that time, I saw me on the stage. They were all very happy with the performance, which also made me feel that all my previous efforts were worth it."

As a "post-95" Chongqing "child", Zhang Junjie is naturally a fan of mountain city food when he performs in other places. , what I miss most is to go home and have a hot pot meal. “Before, I took my friends from out of town to Shapingba to eat Dalong hot pot, and then saw the night view of the light rail crossing the building and Hongyadong. I suddenly realized that I had traveled through so many cities and seen so many scenery. What I love most is my hometown of Chongqing, which is also the starting point of my dance career. I will continue to stick to it and hope that it will become more and more beautiful and wonderful in the future.”
