All over the country today, January 26, people are taking their oaths and becoming Australian citizens.
It's also the birthday of Australian of the Year shortlist member Li Cunxin, who told his story in the wonderful Mao's Last Dancer, which my students have loved, and took time off a busy schedule, planning a tour for the Queensland Ballet, to answer some questions from a group of his young fans here.
Even though you didn't win, Li Cunxin, you're always Aussie of the Year to us.
Happy birthday and wishing you many more happy years contributing to the arts in Australia, even if you never write another book.
