Chapter 154 Mission 7: The Cripple Also Has a Dream of Dancing 15

In front of the female educated youth, she forced Ji Meiyu to drink the pesticide used to kill insects on cotton in the afternoon. She was terrified and scared to death. She went back and found an unmarried villager in the village and said she wanted to marry him.

Hu Buduan committed murder, hooliganism and other crimes, and has been detained for multiple crimes.

Three days after his arrest, Yue Chunmei secretly went to the county hospital for an abortion. When Hu Buduan was sentenced to death, she took her daughter to the county seat by train and never returned to Hujia Village. She traveled thousands of miles to the frontier military corps, married her childhood sweetheart and junior high school classmate, and became the eldest daughter-in-law of the village's Ma Da Niang.

Taoist Zhang asked Wen Wan, "How did you know those things?"

"Grandma told me in a dream."

Taoist Zhang seemed to be lost in thought, not knowing whether to believe it or not.

Mother Qiu agreed. "They say that after the founding of the People's Republic of China, people are not allowed to become spirits or believe in ghosts and gods, but we still have to believe in things left by our ancestors."

She watched Wen Wan grow up, and there was no way this girl could know those things.

Wen Wan buried Ji Meiyun's ashes in Xishan Cemetery. A photo of Ji Meiyun is on the tombstone, along with the inscription: "Tomb of the renowned dance artist and film artist Ms. Ji Meiyun." The inscriptions by the person who erected the tombstone read: "Granddaughter Ji Wenwan, students Han Changqing, Qiu Decheng, and Tang Lan."

On the day she was buried in Xishan Cemetery, many artists from art troupes and art academies came. They came voluntarily to see her off. The memorial service, which was nine years late, was held in front of her grave. Some people recited eulogies and some offered sacrifices. From then on, she was no longer sleeping alone in a foreign land, but had finally returned to her hometown.

Tang Lan still had trouble selecting the most suitable female ballet dancer. There were too few dancers in China, and few were at the ideal age for dance due to their athletic pursuits. Finally, Wen Wan secured the spot and began grueling training alongside the male dancers. Tang Lan was extremely strict with them, but Wen Wan learned a lot.

In the same year, Tang Lan took Wen Wan and two pairs of Chinese ballet dancers to participate in the preliminary round of the Moscow Ballet Competition. There were three teams. At the suggestion of another teacher, Wen Wan was formed into a team with a male dancer from Shanghai because they found that Wen Wan was growing very fast and could be paired with the best dancer.

Of the three groups of Huaxia dancers who made the preliminary rounds, only Wen Wan and a male dancer from the Shanghai Art Troupe were selected. The other two groups simply bought tickets to return home. The Shanghai teachers stayed behind to continue their training and participate in the semi-finals.

In previous international martial arts competitions, the Chinese team was almost completely wiped out. After passing the semi-finals, they finally entered the top 15 to advance to the top 10, and the top 10 to advance to the top 7...

Before the final top three competition, Wen Wan created her own flying spin during training. The male dancer threw her up and she spun quickly in the air. Some people abroad had done this before, but they didn't fly as high as her, nor did they spin as many circles as her. She observed other people's scoring moves, and learned them over and over again. She choreographed with the male dancers and practiced their cooperation to the extreme.

The last game started and the order was decided by drawing lots. Wen Wan and Captain Qiao learned some common Russian words. After coming here, they specially invited a Chinese student to be their Russian private teacher. She could speak Russian haltingly. During this month, she gained more knowledge and tempered her character.

They were lucky enough to be drawn last. She stood at the back of the stage, quietly watching the two pairs of contestants in front of her. They were world-class dancers, dancing beautifully. She followed their movements and thought that if she could adapt this flying spin and fly up like a swan spreading its wings, it would definitely be a bonus.

When it was their turn, Wen Wan and the male dancers came on stage and danced gracefully to the beautiful melody. When the flying spin appeared, she jumped lightly, like a beautiful and free swan, jumped on her toes, jumped off the ground, and spun quickly and gracefully, the number of circles was more than twice that of others. When she landed, she did another flying spin, stepping to the music, and did it three times in a row, and the number of circles was more each time than the last.

She danced with all her heart, as if she were not a dancer, but the swan itself, every movement was noble, elegant and stunning.

After the song was over, the whole audience fell silent. They breathed rapidly and held hands to bow to the audience. The audience burst into amazing applause and whistles.

They succeeded!

The team won third place in the top three ranking competition. Although the top three all won gold medals, the gold medal for the first place is different from that for the third place. This is also the best result achieved by the Chinese team in all the international dance competitions over the years.

The male dancer's solo dance did not enter the finals, but Wen Wan still had a solo dance competition. After the competition, the male dancer returned home, leaving only the teacher from the Shanghai Art Troupe to train Wen Wan.

Wenwan studies harder.

The teacher found that Wen Wan had an amazing learning ability, was not afraid of hard work or fatigue, and had a spirit of daring to fight. After entering the final round, her results in the top 15 and top 10 were at the bottom of the pack, but when she entered the quarterfinals, her results jumped to fourth place, and when she advanced to the top three, she became second place. When it came to the top three ranking competition, she successfully won the first place. This time was even more perfect than the duet competition, because she scored full marks in all the scoring items, with almost no points lost.

She hugged her teacher and cried with joy.

The country also reported immediately that Ji Wenwan, a student majoring in Chinese dance at the Dance Department of Beijing Art Academy, had successfully won the gold medal in an international dance competition.

When the news was spread back to China, the entire art world was excited and applauded.

Everyone at the Beijing Art Academy knew that Ji Wenwan was the granddaughter of the famous artist Ji Meiyu. She started learning dance at the age of three and never stopped practicing hard even during special times.

Before she graduated, Wen Wan was hired by the Central Art Troupe as the principal dancer, serving as the principal of both traditional Chinese dance and ballet. The video of her dancing when she won the championship was especially studied by dance teachers and dancers from all over the world, because her dance during the competition was so perfect that even the difficult moves exceeded the limits of all previous dancers.

On the day she returned to China, Li Chunxiao and Wu Mengxin greeted her at the airport, holding a tall sign that read, "Warmly welcome Ji Wenwan for winning the first place gold medal at the International Ballet Competition! Bringing glory to our country!"

That summer, Han Changqing invited her to the Northern Film Studio to shoot a costume film "The Banquet of the Tang Dynasty". Although many music and dance artists were invited from China, there were scenes of dancing the classical dances "Nichang Dance" and "Huxuan Dance". The other dancers either lacked temperament and charm or had ordinary looks.
