A
As a kid,Yang Fan was crazy about the beauty of bubbles(氣泡).A waterfall at a river near his childhood home in Vietnam created hundreds of tiny bubbles.“I saw another world in bubbles,and I imagined how nice it would be if I could create a big bubble and be inside it,”he says.
Many years later,Yang realized that dream.He has formed bubbles around hundreds of people,made large bubbles that his daughter can walk through,and even made square bubbles.Yang calls himself a“bubble artist”and“bubble scientist”.“So far,I haven't met any other bubble scientists!”he says.
To achieve what he wanted,Yang worked hard for years.“After many years of failure,I finally came out with a bubble solution that made big bubbles with beautiful colors.”Five years later,after lots more practice and experiments,he created the world's largest bubble,which was 156 feet long.
Yang designed a program called the Gazillion Bubble Show.He has many performance tips to offer.He says it's good to make the audience feel tension(緊張)so that they are surprised at the end of a trick(把戲).He also suggests doing performances that are fun to watch,so that the audience will stay interested the whole time.
To perform his tricks,Yang uses bubble equipment that he created himself.He wants kids to know that they're not limited(受限制的)by anything except their imaginations,and they can create whatever they want to help them follow their interests.
“To make art,you need time,love,and hard work,which guided my life and made me successful.I am proud to say that I used something simple—bubbles—and brought it to a completely new world.”
