Features: Why must a man necessarily become a woman? What path has a trans woman walked?—From the road of life to the road of the heart, Jin Xing, who has pursued dreams through dance and faced widespread controversy due to her gender transition, reveals her extraordinary life for the first time in this book. This dancer, who has chased dreams all her life, longs only to listen to her true heartbeat. From Paris to Lille, from Bordeaux to Brussels, Jin Xing’s Dance Company’s modern dance drama Shanghai Tango caused a sensation—Four Happiness, which portrays the life of ancient Chinese concubines, and The Butterfly Lovers and Thunderstorm, which explore the essence of traditional literature. With rich dance language, Jin Xing accurately conveys a dance art that combines the ancient aesthetic beauty of Eastern art with a modern sense of freedom, deeply captivating international audiences. The European critics highly praised it as, "At a time when our modern dance was unsure of where to go, a dance artist from the East pointed us in the right direction." This book is Jin Xing’s first personal autobiography from birth to her entire career in the arts.
