THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER
The extraordinary memoir of a peasant boy raised in rural Maoist China who was plucked from his village to study ballet and went on to become one of the greatest dancers of his generation.
From a desperately poor village in northeast China, at age eleven, Li Cunxin was chosen by Madame Mao's cultural delegates to be taken from his rural home and brought to Beijing, where he would study ballet. In 1979, the young dancer arrived in Texas as part of a cultural exchange, only to fall in love with America-and with an American woman. Two years later, through a series of events worthy of the most exciting cloak-and-dagger fiction, he defected to the United States, where he quickly became known as one of the greatest ballet dancers in the world. This is his story, told in his own inimitable voice.
THE BASIS FOR A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE
Li Cunxin was born in a small village near the city of Qingdao, in northern China. At eighteen, he was selected to perform at the Houston Ballet, which led to a dramatic defection to the United States. He has performed as a soloist with the Houston Ballet and as a principal artist with the Australian Ballet.
是那种让人读得很快的书。 和电影比较,会发现存信还是我们这边的。 很难相信在今天,老外还在拿30年前那个模式去套中国人,即使这其实主要讲的是一个30年前的故事。 我一直以为,那会的中国人和现在的,并无大的区别,最大的,也许只是腰上那一圈肉罢了。
评分To begin with, I have to admit that I have no experiences of writing an English book comment. And there is an old saying ,"Everything's hard in the beginning. "Supposing that I just put my reading notes together, what will the comment look like? In my imagi...
评分此書的側重點不是在描述cultural revolution的政治鬥爭。作爲出生清白的貧農家庭,他們算是不在浪潮裏。不過極度貧困,吃不果腹的童年,讓他後來面對西方的物質豐盛驚訝不已。 作者“幸運地”被選作Madman Mao組織的芭蕾團,算是被體制培養成長。相比起來,他比呆在農村的兄弟...
评分今天读完了《Mao's Last Dancer》后面半部读的比较快。觉得李存心在叛逃美国方面是非常自私的,为了在美国学习芭蕾、体验所谓的美国自由,为了过上优越的生活,置亲情、友情、国家关系等于不顾。 但是他不断追求的精神、不抛弃、不放弃的态度还有坚强的毅力和恒星、还是值得我...
评分第一次看到这个故事是某次回国飞机上看到的电影。半睡半醒间看完的,朦胧中,最大的感触是:难得有部外国电影里能把中国农村从人到景表现的那么真实! 后来就是auckland书店进门处摆起一摞摞英文版和大幅海报,宣传这本书。对这个人相当好奇外加隐约的崇拜。一直惦记着这本书...
A touching story!
评分在墨尔本时读的,感动
评分英文简单易懂~~~
评分2012-10第一本:学院外教推荐给我的第一本书,我认真的看了一遍。感触颇多,可是却无法细细说来。只是觉得亲情才是最重要的。
评分这本书在国外真的是非常非常非常有名啊,好多人都推荐过,看完五味杂陈,据说作者现在在墨尔本定居,Megz借我书的时候还说,作者之前去uwa做讲座,是个非常有魅力的人。可惜没有见到。
