初夏的南滨路，晨光氤氲。早上9点45分，重庆国际马戏城的杂技演员们一如往常，开始了一天的训练。

18岁的谢豪是杂技团的“老前辈”了，5岁那年邂逅杂技，年少时光便日日与之相伴。“杂技就是碗青春饭。”马戏城里的这帮小伙子、小姑娘，平均年龄只有16岁。

回想起10年前首次登台的单人演出，谢豪泪光闪烁。追光灯下掌声雷鸣，“那一刻，所有的辛苦和伤痛都变得值得。”那是他第一次真正感受到对杂技的爱。

In the early summer morning, the Nanbin Road is misty. At 9:45 a.m.,the acrobats of Chongqing International Circus City begin a day of training as usual.

18-years-old Xie Hao has already been the “senior” of the acrobatic troupe. He has begun to learn acrobatics at the age of 5 and spent his early years on it. “Acrobatics is a young person's profession.”The average age of the boys and girls in circus city is only 16.

Recalling his first solo performance 10 years ago, Xie Hao cannot help shedding tears. “At that moment, all the pain and hard training were worth it.”It was the first time that he had found a real love for acrobatics.

“注意膝盖和脚面，保持住！”偌大的演出厅内，队长务龙一丝不苟地指导着谢豪在“空中皮条”上的十字动作。卷上、水平、后压、缠腰……几节动作变换下来，他满脸汗水淋漓。

“空中皮条”是杂技上肢力量训练中最辛苦的项目，但却是谢豪的最爱。休息间隙，他礼貌地朝我招了招手，一瘸一拐走来，不似空中那般轻盈。“做我们这一行，难免常受伤。”他边说边指了指自己的脚，乐呵呵地。

十年青春，正等待着厚积薄发。

“Pay attention to your knees and feet. Hold on！” In the large performance hall, the captain Wu Long meticulously instructs Xie Hao on the cross movement of the “aerialist”. Roll up and down, keep level and tie the rope around waist...When the movements are finished, his face is dripping with sweat.

“Aerialist” is the most difficult item in acrobatic upper body strength training, but it is Xie Hao's favorite. During the break, he beckons to me politely and hobbles over to me, not as light as that just in the air. “For acrobats, injuries are unavoidable.” He gladly points to his feet as he speaks .

Ten years of youth is waiting to shine.

场馆另一侧，沈阳小姑娘王珈玮与搭档默契地配合着肩上芭蕾。站头、举叉、拉叉，每一个动作都丝丝入扣，充满自信。

王珈玮年纪不大，学习杂技已有些年头，除了肩上芭蕾，还学了绸吊、蹬鼓、现代舞。这条路很苦，她的笑容始终很甜，“杂技不仅是工作，更是我的青春。这条路，我会一直走下去。”

眼下，团队正在筹备10月面世的杂技剧《大禹》，她自信而兴奋地告诉我们，“相信到时候一定能让观众一饱眼福。”

On the other side of the hall, Wang Jiawei, a young girl from Shenyang, is cooperating with her partner harmoniously on the ballet on shoulders.Standing on head, lifting and doing the splits, she is full of confidence with natural and standard movement.

Wang Jiawei is young and has been learning acrobatics for some years. In addition to ballet on shoulders, she has also learned silk skills, jugging with the feet and modern dance. Her smile is always very sweet in spite of the difficulties. “Acrobatics is not only a job, but also my youth.” I will stick to this path and keep going all the time.

Now, the team is preparing for the acrobatic drama “Dayu” which will release in October.She confidently and excitedly tells us, “I believe that it will impress the audience and bring down the house.”
