Somehow, Li Xianglu felt something off about the rigging backstage. As the call for readiness came, Li Xianglu had no time to think further and grabbed the lever, her gaze fixed on the stage from the side. At that moment, Shen Yuehong emerged from the wings, lifting her elegant neck to joyfully look towards the center of the stage, and then leapt into the air.
Li Xianglu began to control the retraction of the rigging wire. Everything was going well, with Shen Yuehong gracefully initiating her leap, then extending both hands forward in a poised gesture.
As Li Xianglu continued to retract the wire, she had to navigate through a patch of cardboard flowers on the stage with her legs kept open—a distance of at least one meter was needed for the maneuver.
Everything was fine until Li Xianglu was about to ease off the rope when suddenly she saw the rope on the round winch slide out by itself.
Not good! The line snapped!
