At the beginning of the lecture, Kai Shu climbed onto the stage with a smile on his face. The young audience cheered enthusiastically, waving their little hands and greeting Kai Shu. With a light and humorous tone, Kai Shu began his storytelling journey by introducing himself and sharing his amazing experiences of gradually transitioning from a voice actor to a CCTV host and finally becoming the King of  Children’s Stories. The children became deeply interested in Kai Shu’s personal journey and listened attentively.

 

 

 

 

Six Elements of a Story

Later, Kai Shu began his specialty—storytelling. He combined Kai Shu’s Journey to the West with vivid and lively language, along with a rich variety of gestures, to vividly demonstrate how Sun Wukong pursued immortality and happiness. Using this as an example, he inspired and enlightened the children on how to grasp the six elements of a story: character, goal, problem, guide, plan, and outcome, in order to tell a good story. Kai Shu incorporated wisdom and insights into the story through humorous and witty anecdotes and simple language, allowing children to learn to think and appreciate the essence of life amid laughter.

 

In addition to storytelling, Uncle Kai also interacted with the children, warmly and patiently answering their questions. Finally, upon the enthusiastic invitation of the children, Uncle Kai performed multiple roles on stage, using his versatile voice to recreate Uncle Kai’s Journey to the West, delivering a magnificent auditory feast to the audience, young and old alike. His performance flowed effortlessly, as if it was second nature to him, instantly bringing back familiar little stories to the faithful young listeners of Uncle Kai. This also brought the atmosphere of the lecture to a climax.

and tell their own 

authentic and touching life stories!
