Despite
Lee Xin's reserved look, I can see her happiness
and radiance. In previous articles, reporters have
always described her as the dentist who gave up
a million-dollar salary for Flamenco. When I first
saw her, I regarded her as a symbol of courage
and happiness. She says that: "Before 30,
Lee Xin was a good dentist, a good daughter, and
a good mother. After 30, Lee Xin's inner soul,
dark and restless nature has finally found its
way to the light."
Lee
Xin not only specialises in Flamenco dance performances
and teachings, she also expresses herself through
paintings. Her paintings reveal her inner feelings
about a woman's passion and dreams. Through her
paintings, she attempts to re-examine men and their
sexual passions through the eyes of a woman who
has been released from traditional ties.
Lee
Xin is a feminist and she thinks that housework
and chores don't necessarily have to be done by
men. She says that if technology can advance to
an extent where men are able to have babies, she
will definitely want her man to have a couple.
She always felt that women don't need to accommodate
men's opinions, until she met Lin Gun, a man who
has a passion for Flamenco dancing. Lee Xin says
that because she felt so much in love with Lin
Gun, but at the same time was very jealous of his
eye contact with other women, at the age of 35
she decided to get involved in Flamenco as well.
And ever since her initial involvement, she has
had an inseparable relationship with Flamenco.
As a result, her life is dazzling and full of color.
Flamenco
is a culture, and also a way of life. For the people
of Southern Spain, Flamenco is a spice of life
and a means of expression. It expresses the pain
one gets from love, blood one sheds from being
injured, the feeling of anger, and other strong
emotions. These are all characteristics of Flamenco,
and through the body movements of the dancers,
these emotions are easily aroused.
This
June, Lee Xin's troupe will hold a public performance
and will display the lust of the ancient times
to 21st-century Taipei. For those who are interested
