Her dexterity attracted the attention of Deng Dao, the coach of the women's team. Huang joined the team and was greeted by a regime of high-intensity physical training. She had to practice running, dumbbells, frog leaps, lunges and squats every day. She trained for two hours early in the morning, then went to school, and trained for another two hours after school. At the end of the day her hands and feet didn't seem to belong to her, Huang recollects.

Some people said their physical ability is not as good as that of boys, and they don't look good when they dance. When Huang heard this, she couldn't hold back her anger. Girls can! She wanted to shout it out! The minimum height of the high pile is half a meter and the maximum 2.5 meters. The height alone discourages many girls. The longest distance between the piles is 1.8 meters, and the lion head and the lion tail are required to jump in the air together. Once she didn't step on it firmly, and fell from the pile.
