Emma Philips,a girl from New Zealand,wants to learn acrobatics (杂技). She traveled across the world to make her acrobatics dream come true
Emma traveled to China by herself to learn acrobatics from the best teachers. She studied hard at the Wuqiao Acrobatic s Art School. It is in a small town in Hebei Province. Emma couldn't eat or sleep well. But she did not care. She learned for a long time every day and she even wore out(用破) six Chinese umbrellas in just five months.
"People in the school and in the town were interested in me. They wanted to know why I came to a small town and learn acrobatics. But I knew what I wanted and I kept at it , " she said. She wanted to learn from the best acrobats and she wanted to combine(结合) Eastern skills with Western music. That would be great.
Emma left the school one year ago. She is now working at an Australian circus(马戏团). She wishes to bring Chinese acrobatics to more people.
