Scotch Literature Festival 2005  >  Li Cunxin

Li Cunxin
Li Cunxin image Li Cunxin
Li Cunxin was born in 1961, in the New Village, Li Commune, near the city of Qingdao in the coast of north-east China. The sixth of seven sons in a poor rural family, Li's peasant life in Chairman Mao's communist China changed dramatically when, at the age of eleven, he was chosen by Madame Mao's cultural advisers to become a student at the Beijing Dance Academy. After a summer school in America, for which he was one of only two students chosen, he defected to the West and became a principal dancer for the Housten Ballet.

Li went on to become one of the best male dancers in the world. He is now a senior manager in a major stockbroking firm and lives in Melbourne, Australia, with his wife and their children.

What do we want to achieve out of our precious life? How could a strong vision coupled with courage, determination, perseverance, passion and hard work, influence the outcome of one's journey? We must treasure our opportunities, keep pushing the boundaries and see life with boundless possibilities.
