What kind of story is this?
At 4:30 in the morning, Xiao Yun'er, a nine-year-old girl in Naduo Village, Yunnan, was about to get up and follow her mother to her pork shop to prepare for a new day of life.
She expertly helps her mother cut pork, wash pig intestines, burn pig's feet... 365 days a year, only one day off.
Xiao Yuner helped her mother cook pig's feet
"It's too hard to sell meat." Mom hoped that Xiao Yun'er could have a brighter future.
But Xiao Yuner didn't think so. The cramped kitchen behind the pork stall was her utopia.
She can stand on her toes, raise her chin, tuck her abdomen, open her shoulders, jump... In Xiao Yun'er's eyes, this is not only a practice room, but also the place closest to her dream.
She has never studied dance systematically, but the Internet has opened a window for her to learn various dance moves through videos. She has an extremely soft waist and can fold herself up gently, as if God gave her. gift.
Xiao Yuner hopes that she can knock on the stage of her dreams with her thick toes.

Xiao Yun'er’s mother knew her daughter’s dream. She took her child to see the local dance teacher. She concluded that: Xiao Yun’er is talented and simple learning may be delayed. It is recommended to go to Kunming or Beijing to find a more professional teacher. .
The local dance teacher suggested that Xiao Yuner receive better dance education
But for a family that sells pork for a living, it is nothing short of a fantasy.
If you didn't meet Bole, Chollima most likely will be stunned by everyone.
The first "noble person" Xiao Yuner met was Wang Zhong, the principal of the local driving school. After watching the video of Xiao Yuner's dancing, he felt something should be done. He thought of the "Colorful Cloud Project".
The "Colorful Cloud Project" is a charity project founded by Zhang Ping, a senior teacher of Beijing Dance Academy and her husband. The two hope to help these children explore another possibility in life by volunteering and subsidizing children from poor families to learn dance.
Zhang Ping and her husband about
In the eyes of many people, ballet is an aristocratic art with aristocratic spirit.
There is another explanation about coaching ballet. In his lecture with Tsinghua students, he mentioned, "What is the spirit of aristocracy? It is to help disadvantaged groups in order to fulfill their social responsibilities."
He felt that ballet should not only be in the Central Ballet Company or Beijing Dance Academy, but in the mountains and rivers.
Regarding not knowing how to teach children in these mountainous areas to learn dance, he and his wife felt that women are born to be beautiful. "I want to give them back this attribute so that they can have a kind of dignity improvement through learning art. "
About lectures at Tsinghua University
In 2017, the "Colorful Cloud Project" volunteer team was established. They are composed of middle school music teachers, driving school coaches, orchard operators, railway staff, doctors, uncle Zhang Ping, second uncle and other people from all walks of life.
But the conditions in the village are rudimentary.
Without a practice room, they would press their legs on the playground; without a pole, the men in the village went to chop a long piece of bamboo.
Although it is remote, the adults have reached the same consciousness: there is a bit of heat, and a bit of light, hoping that the light of art can shine through the colorful clouds on the children.

Because of this project, Xiao Yuner finally found a good teacher.
However, she sighed, "I think Qian Li Ma is cultivating Bole." Although he has seen too many excellent seedlings, it is the first time that Xiao Yun'er is so talented.
Sun Chao is the chief director of the documentary "Little Boy". This project was officially established at the end of 2018. Research and shooting began in early 2019, and it took one and a half years to complete the shooting.
Mainly focus on a group of gifted children.
Sun Chao feels that most people may be confused about the meaning of life throughout their lives, and it is also difficult to find the realm of their obsession.
"Many parents feel that their children only have three minutes of heat. The children we photographed can be obsessed with things in their favorite fields for a long time. We want to see why these children can be immersed in the world they love."
Xiao Yuner is working hard
In order to shoot the subject of artistic dance, Sun Chao and his team met many girls with excellent conditions and love to dance all over the country, including the top universities-Beijing Dance Academy.
After searching for more than a month, she saw About, and therefore understood Xiao Yun'er's story.
Zhu Xianliang, a senior consultant at bilibili, believes that for children, talent is not the most important thing, but more importantly, find things they love and work hard for them.
"Every kind of growth is worthy of being recorded. Just like who you are, you know it at a very young age. The teenagers in "Little Boys" can detect their hobbies at a young age and are willing to contribute to this love. With time and effort beyond their peers, they can focus on moving forward even in the face of discrimination and incomprehension. Their dreams are worthy of being seen, and more worthy of being guarded by us."
Her husband revealed that Zhang Ping decided to quit her job as a teacher at Beijing Dance Academy
Zhang Ping has a better protection plan.
She decided to give up her job at Beijing Dance Academy and return to Naduo Village to personally tutor Xiao Yun'er.
"If I can be by her side, I might teach her a little bit better."
In fact, in recent years, in addition to teaching children to dance, Zhang Ping and his wife have also been in touch with each other, helping 17 villages around Naduo Village choose and send a total of 62 children to Kunming art academies to learn dance, and help them solve the tuition and fees. living expenses.
Speaking of the future, Zhang Ping hopes to continue the "Colorful Cloud Project" and help more children change their destiny.
At the same time, she also hopes that these children can help more people in the mountains in the future and pass them on from generation to generation.

In January 2020, Zhang Ping led Xiao Yun'er and other girls in Naduo Village who love to dance to the CCTV stage to participate in "Starting to Happiness", which opened a new journey of shining dance adventure for them.
During the rehearsal of the show, when asked "what do I want to do when I grow up", Xiao Yuner's eyes were still shining, and she replied categorically, "I want to dance!"
