Li Cunxin writes a phenomenal novel on his life and how he became a famous ballet dancer. Li was born in an unpleasant village in China with his Dad and Mum and six other siblings. His parents worked as farmers (they were peasants). Li revives ballet in China and gets found by famous scouts who then send him to Beijing for this amazing life of dancing to begin. Seeing as Li was only 11 years of age and wasn't living in the best conditions, he missed his family and had terrible thoughts of them every night although for the first time in his life he had enough food to fill him up each night. At the age of 19 after going through his fathers death he finally gets chosen to go to America to become the premier of his class and generation. Li shows that you have to work hard to get what you want in life and to always follow your dreams. This is an excellent book and i recommend it to anyone over the age of 10, there is also a kids book. The one thing amazing about this book is that you can contrast it with your life and this novel can inspire people to push themselves to reach for the stars!
