[release]With no training as an artist, he joined the military, the People's Liberation Army, aged 18 and from there the military sent him to train with the armed police force.There he showed enough potential in hostage rescue to earn a promotion to squad leader.[/release]

[release]"I love how pole-dancing has toned my muscles and improved my sense of rhythm," he says.
"There's no reason to think men are in any way inferior to women when it comes to dance. Especially when it comes to pole-dancing, where masculine strength is as vital as feminine flexibility."
Although training clubs like Luolan are springing up across China, pole-dancing is still very much seen as a risque novelty.
Mr Gong blames narrow-minded prejudice for the public image of pole-dancing as an erotic performance suitable only for sleazy joints.[/release]

[release]He has no plans to perform in public - there is too much prejudice and a very limited market for male pole-dancers. Only a few gay bars in big cities use male performers at all.
But he is not letting this get in his way. He and his classmates are working towards greater things.
Their aim is to become certified coaches to hand on their skills to other enthusiasts.[/release]

When the Pole-dancer Platoons roll (dance?) out, nothing will stand in their way to World Domination. :C
