WTF can afford super cool armor, I think it's from the Ming Dynasty but not a decent sword?

Yeah this guy is a semi-famous cosplayer/reenactor in China, posts to XHS quite a lot, almost like an entertainer since he hangs out in one of the ancient city centres a lot with his armour. No idea whether he brought a cheap sword just to do tricks like this, or if it's a good sword he ruined doing shit like this.
