This is the introduction in Golden Village website:

From internationally acclaimed Australian film director Bruce Beresford comes the inspirational true story of a small boys extraordinary journey from poverty to international stardom. From a grueling apprenticeship as a classical dancer in communist China, to the glory of creative freedom in America. But, there is a painful price to be paid for his quest for self expression. Maos Last Dancer captures the intoxicating effects of first love and celebrity, the pain of exile, and ultimately the triumph of individual endeavour over ideology. Filmed in China, the US and Australia and with a brilliant performance from Chi Cao as Li Cunxin, Maos Last Dancer is an exhilarating exploration of what it means to be free.
