Special Performance: Be An Extraordinary Ordinary Person

Before I heard the song Be An Extraordinary Ordinary Person, I was someone who had nothing to do with success whatsoever, but I've never given up on wanting to become an extraordinary person," said the extraordinary ordinary Shih-Hao YANG. "True success is not something you can pursue by chasing it. Instead, when you are passionate about the world you love and by getting stronger in that world, then it doesn't matter if no one understands your world, because you will never lose.

This creation comes from a long, long time ago, before he became a world-famous performer, before he met the Cyr wheel he is so good at, before we knew he's an extraordinary ordinary person...

Cyr wheel artist Shih-Hao YANG uses singer-songwriter Sandee Chan's song Be An Extraordinary Ordinary Person as his main creative inspiration. His seemingly inorganic spins and rotations, together with lyrics and melody that seem to be so relatable, attempt to extract the everyday moments of his own growth process. After the rampant pandemic in the past year, have we become farther and farther away from the everyday? So far that we've forgotten what ordinary life is like?

"Describe your life now in three words."

When the first line of the song comes on, what words come to your mind? Let Shih-Hao YANG and his trusty Cyr wheel round up everyone’s memories. As he moves around, sometimes dancing lightly, sometimes falling heavily, let his many movements that almost make people want to close their eyes and cry out in surprise recall the most familiar everyday moments in your heart.

Then believe that we can do it, we can all do it.
