That was the show that I watched yesterday. It was so touching. There is only 3 words that I can describe this show :
.
It's about a boy who comes from a very very super duper poor village he has 6 siblings. so, he went to this balllet academy to learn ballet. However, the teacher kept scolding him because he was very weak.
So when he was in his teens,some people from the west, US, came to choose china people to dance
and bring them to the US to learn ballet. But, only this boy was chosen because he could dance well after much training.
He improved a lot and he became very famous. he was only 18 years old when he got married. he got married for the sake of living in the US. if he was married in the US, he was not allowed to come back to china. but he wanted to stay longer in the US. so, he married.
But, in the end, his teacher made him perfrom somewhere. i forgot. and his parents who he didn't see for 9 years. around there, came to watch him. the boy then was about 22 years old. He was not allowed to go back to china as he was already married. so, the boy's teacher purposely ask the government to allow the parents to come and watch him dance.
So, the parents came to watch him dance. they didn't see him for at least, 9 years!!! the boy later was so touched by his teacher that the teacher made so much effort to make ask the government to allow the parents to come to US.
Then, 3 years later, he married another woman. and the boy went back to china to visit his parents. i don't know how that happened because they didn't show anything.
the whole thing was so damn touching! you should have watched it. haiz..
Now, the boy has become a grown-up man and now, his living with his second wife in sydney, austrailia with his 3 kids. the eldest child is deaf. so sad right?? everything in the show is REAL.
