In this June 26, 2015 photo, Askar Obulqasim, right, and his partner Anwar perform walking on a tightrope during a show at a theme park outside Kunming in southwest China's Yunnan province. Already the holder of several tightrope world records, including the fastest walk across a 100-meter (330-foot) rope in 2013, Askar hopes to draw international attention to the profession known among fellow ethnic Muslim Uighurs as dawaz.
