I'm a fifth grader from Akto County, Xinjiang. My name is Mukheddes Mutarifu. I love dancing best. So I joined our school's dance club. Hello, everyone. This is my brother. His name is Tulpulag. He is two years older than me. My mom and dad always come home late. So my brother and I would come home early to do our homework together. My parents are both professional dancers. Sometimes they would teach me to dance. I'm dreaming of becoming a dancer or an idol. I think it would be amazing. Every time when I watch dancers perform on the stage, I wish I was one of them. But I believe that one day, through my unremitting efforts, I could stand on an even bigger and fancier stage. Xinhua News Agency correspondents reporting from Urumqi, China. (XHTV)
