Recently, three representative Chinese teens, including young Puning Yingge dancer Chen Kaiming, were featured on iconic screens in New York, Tokyo, and Seoul.
Among the representatives showcased on international landmark screens, 8-year-old Chen Kaiming (陈楷铭) stands out as an inheritor of Puning Yingge Dance (普宁英歌舞), an intangible cultural heritage from Jieyang City, Guangdong Province. Born into a family of performers, he began dancing to the rhythm of gongs and drums at age two, demonstrating remarkable talent from an early age.

With his spirited, confident, and positive presence, Chen Kaiming has once again been featured as one of the Chinese youth representatives on international landmark screens.
