For the first time in 74 years, Chunwai Chan, a Chinese ballet dancer plays the most important role in a New York dance group. His performance in The Nutcracker（《胡桃&夹子》）is amazing.
Chan is 181cm tall. He is in good shape with his long arms and legs. But he always seems serious when talking about dance.
Chan loved dancing when he was a child. To get his parent's support, Chan wrote a seven-page letter to say that he wanted to study dance really hard.
In 2020, Chan chose to come back to China. In a Chinese talent show, Dance Smxsh（《舞蹈风暴》）, he did a good job. Many Chinese knew his name from the show. He became famous quickly. Ballet seemed more interesting to the Chinese because of Chan's work.
This year, the 30-year-old young man became the first Chinese principle （首席） dancer at New York City Ballet in May. Now he started to tell Chinese stories to the West. Chan said. "I hope that the Americans will enjoy wonderful Chinese culture. "
