In the Lunar New Year season, television channels in Mainland China often broadcast variety programs to compete with each other for viewership. Featuring popular celebrities, they also tend to be creative with their production concepts. Hunan Television recently invited Cecilia Cheung (張栢芝) as a guest performer, and created a musical segment where Cecilia played “Elsa” from the hit Disney movie, Frozen. Cecilia donned a blond wig and the signature blue dress that Elsa always wears, looking almost like a Cosplay enthusiast. As part of the performance, Cecilia was also required to do some figure skating. She did turns, jumps, and other advanced moves. She expressed, “I’m already in my thirties and a mother. These moves are really difficult. I think doing this performance at my age has probably broken a few of my bones. Furthermore, the performance venue does not contain a real ice skating rink, so all the moves I practiced looked different onstage.” Despite the difficulty, Cecilia successfully completed her performance, earning the praise of many netizens. Cecilia’s singing was, however, criticized. One netizen commented, “You did well in ice skating, but neglected your singing!” Creds: Oncc
