Join us for an in-conversation event with Brisbane author Li Cunxin and hear about his upcoming title, The Lucky Son.
Li Cunxin captivated the world with his unforgettable memoir, Mao’s Last Dancer – the extraordinary rags-to-riches story of how a poor peasant boy, the sixth of seven sons, was plucked from his classroom to train at the Beijing Dance Academy – a lucky ticket out of poverty, out of communist China – to become one of the world’s most acclaimed ballet dancers. Li was indeed his niang’s lucky son, and in his long-awaited sequel he reveals what happened next in this life that cheated fate, and wrestles with the blessings and responsibility of good fortune.
The sequel to Mao's Last Dancer - the highly anticipated follow up to one of the world’s most beloved books.
