Acrobatics is the integration of strength and beauty. Derived in the Spring and Autumn Period, acrobatics has been a part of Chinese culture for more than 2,500 years.

And since the founding of New China, the art form has been revived and won international fame in large part due to the talents of the China National Acrobatic Troupe.

On Wednesday, the group celebrated its 60th birthday at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, with a spectacular award-winning show.

Titled "A Letter to Mother", the program follows a pair of acrobats' growing up from art school students to laureate artists. The two, a brother and sister, express their love to mom and how they miss her, meanwhile showing their laborious pursuit of the art.
