Mao’s Last Dancer
Li Cunxin, Paul English (Eastern Kentucky University, Richmond, Kentucky, USA)
This is the true story of how, by the thinnest thread of a chance, one moment in time changed the course of a small boy’s life in ways that are beyond imagination. One day he would dance with some of the greatest ballet companies of the world. One day he would be a friend to a President and First Lady, movie stars, and the most influential people in America. One day he would become a star: Mao’s last dancer, and the darling of the West. Here is Li Cunxin’s own story, a beautiful, rich account of an inspirational life, told with honesty, dignity, and pride.
