(3) YA Li Cunxin shares his emotional journey from Chinese peasant to world-famous ballet dancer in this "young readers' edition" of an adult memoir. Such experiences as starting at a new school and working hard to achieve a goal will resonate with readers. The author illuminates his society's extreme poverty and repression but above all shares the freedom and exhilaration he gained through dance. Timeline. Glos.
