London: Taiwanese fire dancer Yang Li-wei captivated the "Britain's Got Talent" stage on February 21, earning unanimous approval from the show's four judges. The 32-year-old performer expressed her aspiration to perform in front of King Charles, showcasing a breathtaking act that blended skill and artistry.

According to Focus Taiwan, Yang's performance involved swallowing fire, maneuvering a firing vessel with her feet, and manipulating fire fans with her hands. Her daring five-minute set concluded in a spectacular display as she twisted a blazing square table with her feet, leaving the audience in awe. Yang's act quickly went viral, and she shared her experience on Facebook, describing it as a testament to years of dedication.

In an interview with CNA, Yang revealed that she was invited to perform on the show last year. Together with her team, Coming True Fire Group, and her husband, Lai Kuan-chih, they meticulously planned the performance, including designing costumes and crafting stage props. Despite logistical challenges, including covering transportation costs for props and fuel, the team remained committed to their vision.

Yang faced difficulties due to the cold U.K. weather, which numbed her hands and feet. The show's staff assisted by repeatedly providing hot water to keep her warm. Despite these hurdles, Yang embraced the opportunity to represent Asia and Taiwan, describing it as a valuable experience.

Yang's passion for performance began at age 10 at the National Taiwan College of Performing Arts, where she was drawn to the art of water sleeves and footwork. Her dedication to the craft endured despite a temporary hiatus, during which she considered a career in hospitality. However, witnessing a classmate's performance reignited her passion and commitment to the art.

Previously, Yang participated in "Asia's Got Talent," where her act went unaired after receiving a negative response from Simon Cowell. This time, her performance on "Britain's Got Talent" marked a triumphant comeback. Yang expressed pride in representing her crew and Taiwan, with hopes to bring the warmth of Taiwanese fire to audiences worldwide.
