1. What are Haoyou’s feelings about his first flight for the circus?

Haoyou felt the world falling away as he ascended into the sky. Initially he feels dizzy and confused: then stillness. When a gust of wind hits his kite he feels his spine crack like a whip. He is surprised by the lack of smells in the air and how cool and fresh it is. Haoyou felt exhilarated and close to his father's spirit.
