The true story of a poor Chinese peasant boy who, plucked
unsuspectingly at the age of ten from millions of others across the
land to be trained as a ballet dancer, turned the situation to his
advantage to become one of the world's greatest ballet stars.
Simply told, with charm, humour and compassion and at times, great
drama. His childhood, despite the terrible hardships, is drawn with
love and affection and contrasts starkly with the seven lonely
years of gruelling training at the Peking Dance Academy. At the age
of l8, Li performs at the Houston Ballet school in the US, which
leads to his dramatic defection. This is a condensed edition,
specially for younger readers, and has an Afterword especially for
children.
