00:00In 2019, my uncle came to our school and taught me this dance.
00:18They were so cool and fun to watch, so I really wanted to take part in this dance.
00:24Until now, my parents have always supported me.
00:28My sister and brother also support me.
00:30Whenever I have a performance, if they have time, they will come to watch it.
00:36When you do Siwei, you have to hold the stone.
00:38Sometimes they will fall and get hurt.
00:40But we won't give up.
00:43When I do Siwei, I have to keep my stone safe.
00:47So I have to have a lot of stamina in the back.
00:50Don't let it fall, don't let it hit me.
00:53We also need to have a tacit understanding with the instrument group.
00:57We have to follow their rhythm and teamwork.
00:59Then we can do a good performance.
01:15I am Chen Yongzhen.
01:17I am Shi Chengye Deshun Shifu.
01:19I am also the coach of Yong Jun.
01:22Why is my team called Yong Jun?
01:24Yong is my name.
01:26Jun is my father.
01:27When my father was young, he was in the 50s.
01:29After we moved here, there was no criminal investigation team here.
01:32In my middle school days,
01:35there was a coincidence that I was in the 50s.
01:38I was lucky enough to mention it to my father.
01:40He set up a platform here for us young people
01:45to promote this criminal investigation activity.
01:48After all, Malaysia is a multi-ethnic country.
01:50We also want to understand some of the traditional cultures of other ethnic groups.
01:54I also hope that I can find a sense of belonging here
01:58and create a cultural background.
