Dancing in front of hills, around trees, or on fields is what we usually see in cartoons. But it is what Ma Yue did in 121 everyday life from a young age. Ma Yue is a girl from Duancun, a village in Hebei. When she 122 in the third grade, she heard that there would be a ballet project (芭蕾舞项目) in her school. And for the first time, Ma Yue 123 a ballet show. 124 seeing the show, she became interested in ballet and started practicing it.
Guan Yu and his wife Zhang Ping, 125 teachers from Beijing, are the starters of the project. They wanted to help children in the countryside to 126 ballet for free. “Most countryside children never learned dancing. We can help the children open their eyes,” says Guan. Ma Yue’s school, which is far away from their home, was the first school they went to. Every Sunday morning, they drove four 127 to the village to teach the students. The students expected to take the ballet lessons on the weekend. Every time they saw the teachers coming, they ran to them 128 .
Ma Yue spent most of her free time 129 other girls practicing ballet along the river and on the field. Soon she became the best dancer in her school. In 2016, the Liaoning Ballet accepted (接受) the young Ma Yue, making her the first in the group of girls to “go out” of the 130 , where most girls have to help with farming all their life. Her father says it was really 131 to the family at that time. And many parents started to think about putting their children in 132 lessons for a good job, not just for a hobby.
Ma Yue is 18 now. Like her teachers, she goes back to her hometown to 133 ballet, too. For students in the countryside, ballet is a way to have a 134 life in the future. Learning ballet is also a special way of getting 135 from the teachers. Those people, like Ma Yue, get help from others while growing up. They will also find their way to help others and pass the love on.
