Overview

From unbelievable poverty to international stardom the inspiring true story of one boys dream come true. Li Cunxins bestselling biography in a young readers edition. Paul English again delivers a stunning portrayal of Li Cunxins inspiring story. One day, not so very many years ago, a small peasant boy was chosen to study ballet at the Beijing Dance Academy. His mother urged him to take this chance of a lifetime. But Li was only eleven years old and he was scared and lonely, pushed away from all that he had ever known and loved. He hated the strict training routines and the strange place he had been brought to. All he wanted to do was go home - to his mother, father and six brothers, to his own small village. But soon Li realised that his mother was right. He had the chance to do something special with his life - and he never turned back. Praise for Bolinda Audios edition of Maos Last Dancer (adult edition): [Paul English] exercises such an intense and masterful concentration on the text that the listeners interest never flags. In addition, he imbues the narrative with ingenuousness and enthusiasm an audiobook that is superior to its source. AudioFile Magazine (Earphones Award Winner) Paul English enhances the beautiful tale with his wise and sensitive presentation. School Library Journal English clearly characterizes Cunxin and handles expertly the Chinese phrases and names. Excellent selection. Kliatt
