Amazing talent!

This show really helped me appreciate Chinese culture a lot more! The contestants were very versatile, talented and their stages were all really gorgeous. I'm honestly very impressed that a small group of youths are able to showcase such a wide range of talents, ranging from Qian Wei's guqin, to Liu Feng and Liu Yu's Beijing Opera, to Yang Fei's Wushu and many more. The stages were really fun to watch as they were able to weave their own specialty into every single stage and I found that very impressive!

Production:
Although this program is run by iQiyi, its quite obvious they received no budget whatsoever. Every stage setup was very bland, but I will have to say, it made the focus on the contestants 100%. The traditional Chinese costumes they were wearing, especially the gorgeous hanfus, really made them stand out onstage.

Storyline:
I wish they had added more scenes of the behind-the-scenes rehearsals etc of the contestants, I felt like we were jumping from one elimination to another. Overall, it felt a little bit rushed. The eliminations were a bit too abrupt as well, going from 9 to 3 all of a sudden.

Overall, the contestants really got to showcase many different talents and that was very impressive to me. The friendships they formed on the show are also really cute and they still meet up to this day. The mentors were very knowledgeable and you can tell they treated the contestants really well. These bunch of kids are really way too talented and I need them to get famous! 山顶见!
