路灯下的芭蕾魅影 |
| A 10-year-old girl who practices ballet under light of a street lamp every evening in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, has become a regular phenomenon among passers-by, West China Cosmopolitan Daily reports. Yao Qifeng developed a zeal for dancing since she was very young, but her family is too poor to afford regular dancing classes. Yao once took ballet lessons, obtaining a Level-4 ballet certificate in one year when it normally takes girls 3 years. She then quit and began following DVD instructions and practiced in the streets to save money. Yao hopes to attend the PLA Art Academy next year, which offers free education. |
