Jin Xing holds nothing back in this story of her amazing life. Telling a fascinsting story of how one poor chinese boy became a Prima Ballerina for the Chinese Peoples Army, an international superstar and master of modern dance and then eventually a mother, a wife and one of the only famous Chinese transgender celebrities.

It is a revolutionary tale of being true to yourself at all costs and escaping the societal norms and boundaries of a strict country who tries to strip you of your identity. It is also an exploration of love, sex and wealth that keeps the biography entertaining, leaving you fascinated and craving more information into the secret life of Jin Xing in her days abroad.

I have read a lot of negative reviews about this book but as someone who loves biographies, dance and the life of dancers this fast paced book was a highly enjoyable and interesting read for me.

I would reccomend this if you enjoyed Maos Last Dancer or if you were dissapointed by The Trauma Cleaner and want to read more about strong transgender personalities in our society.
