Three years ago, Wang Zengxiang was an engineer working at a foreign company. Today, he is a renowned artist.

Taking advantage of the "Tessler coil" principle, Wang is capable of creating man-made lighting. With a combination of the lighting and live music, he later organized a music group called "Crazy Thunder" with his relatives.

According to Wang, music fans are shocked by their live shows. Lightning changes instantly in response to the musical rhythm. With continuous invitations from various organizations, they can earn over 1 million yuan ($153,900) per year.
