Do not try this at home, kids.
Unless you are the 13 year-old Xie who over the last six years has learned how to balance barefooted on top of massive chopping blades.
Xie stood on top of the blades (note: they are fairly blunt) while doing an interview with Wenzhou City News on Monday, June 22, 2015. Though the knives are reported to be quite blunt, the balancing act still left visible marks on the sole of Xie's feet.
According to the CCTV report Xie’s father is an aspiring magician and said that he wanted his daughter to pick up a special “signature” trick, so that she could stand out in the business and make money in the future. 
Xie's performing has had an affect on her school and he has questioned whether she should quit to focus on becoming a performer.
Thankfully, education is compulsory at the age of 13 so hopefully young Xie will think better of wasting her education.
