Very interesting story of Chinese ballet dancer who grew up under the Gang of Four regime; he was sent at eleven to Beijing to study ballet and the details of his home life in a rural village, and his adjustment to the ballet school, and later to the Western world, are pretty fascinating. I enjoyed this book very much.
