Starry Sky Kindergarten's online viewership initially soared at 300,000.
Gradually it fell to around 50,000 - 60,000, with viewers dipping in and out of various live streaming rooms.
Some preferred to remain in a single room while others merely stayed for a while, eager to watch the highlights later.
But those who stayed on the scene were always left in disbelief.
What kind of exceptional kindergarten is Starry Sky? It seems every contestant here has a remarkably impressive background.
Just now, there came a participant who was the world champion in the children's Latin dance competition.
The little angel with her hair shining, danced with an explosive power and a fascinating texture.
She looked like a baby, but danced like a charging leopard, creating an incredibly strong impact.
Unlike most children who would introduce themselves first and then perform, this girl's strategy was to stun everyone with her dance and keep her title until the very end to avoid any bias.
Even those who knew nothing about dancing were shocked by the girl’s explosive energy.
Only when she revealed her achievement as a world champion at the end of her introduction, everyone gasped.
The live barrage comments were full of exclamations: "How can anyone else win when the world champion is here?" As expected, all the judges gave her a pass.
Both the classical dance and street dance teachers exchanged glances, their eyes glimmering.
Even Shen Wei contemplated hiring another Latin dance teacher.
It's surprising how such a young girl could dance with such gusto, making her stand out from the crowd.
Then came along a blonde-haired, blue-eyed foreign child.
He amazingly performed the Chinese art of crosstalk, clear in pronunciation, and bright in expression.
After his performance, Shen Wei curiously asked him, "Are you of Chinese descent?"
"No, I'm pure foreigner. I learned Chinese after moving here with my parents when I was three."
His performance was outstanding. Combined with his foreign appearance, it created a significant impact.
With flawless spoken English too, he received unanimous approval.
There were many applicants with the judges only breaking for 10 minutes. Lunch was Starry Sky's special boxed lunch.
During the lunch break, Qi Zhong received a phone call.
It turned out to be a call to join the 3rd round from the vice president of the Art Association.
When Qi Zhong arrived, the Vice President excitedly said, "Do you know who's here? The grandson of Master Shi."
He had come to specifically observe the gifted children in art.
A minute of drawing, the requirements for sketching are incredibly high.
However, this child managed to sketch a realistic image within a minute.
When they saw the little girl performing, some sensitive viewers started to cry.
After her one-minute performance, the little girl came down steadily.
All the dishes were also brought down.
Shen Wei asked, "How long have you been learning, sweetie?"
"Two years."
She is 7 years old this year. She started learning since she was 5.
Seeing how steady this little girl was, they could only imagine how much she had suffered.
Then her family came up, appearing to be honest and simple farmers.
They were quiet and reserved, not sure what to say, after a moment, they asked, "Can school fees be waived if the child comes here to study?"
This child's family was not well-to-do and her parents were all sick and unable to take care of her.
She had no option but to live with her uncle in the city.
Luckily, her uncle was part of an acrobatic troupe, and he discovered that she was very gifted.
So, she studied for two years for free.
However, the current domestic acrobatic environment was not good.
Their troupe was also facing dissolution.
They were unsure how to settle themselves as adults, let alone the children.
Adding to that, she was still very young. They heard then about the Starry Sky Kindergarten was recruiting students for a monthly fee of 1600.
For ordinary people, that was like charity.
However, for this simple farmer, it was still quite a struggle.
Shen Wei said, "If the family is in a difficult situation, we will make appropriate adjustments. We won't let the admitted children lack schooling."
Shen Wei herself is not lacking in money, and she has a soft spot for children.
Netizens praised Shen Wei relentlessly.
Even many netizens began to introspect, "I really shouldn’t be so affluent. After spending so long online, I feel like a million is nothing. But in reality, many people can't even afford a few thousand."
"A single penny can stump a hero."
"Looking at the flustered expression of the child's father asking for a reduction in tuition fee, I inexplicably wanted to cry."
"Fortunately, they came to Starry Sky Kindergarten, and fortunately, Sister Shen Wei really isn't short on money."
"Can we open a donation channel? I want to sponsor this little girl."
“No need, after all, Shen Wei is famously rich.”
"Regardless of anything else, thumbs up for Shen Wei."
