"Mao's Last Dancer" is the inspiring true story of Li Cunxin and his extraordinary journey from a poor upbringing in rural China to international stardom as a world-class ballet dancer. It compellingly captures the struggles, sacrifices and triumphs, as well as the intoxicating effects of first love and celebrity amid the pain of exile.
What an incredible true story! I was born and raised in Japan as a Korean and moved to the United States in search of freedom. In Japan, Koreans have to be discriminated against and live as a second class, but I thought I wanted to be free since I was a kid, so I'm really glad I moved to U.S. Li made a really tremendous effort, he became a global ballet dancer, and when I wondered if his family and teacher had been killed, but they suddenly appeared and my tears couldn't stop. That was amazing he was able to stay in America with the help of Elizabeth, Ben, and everyone else. I have a similar experience, and I'm so grateful for the help of my ex-husband also.
