"I appreciate his understanding even though we still argue at times and I know that I am being selfish, but I need to dance to cherish the present before I become old. There will be plenty of time for love later." Xie explained.

Being under the spotlight is never easy but all the hardships she has endured have made her a stronger person.

Regarding the future, Xie said, "I used to sigh watching dancers get old and when they would lose their youthful features. However, I now appreciate another form of beauty that accumulates through hard work and difficulties. It feels more sincere and it is truly touching. I learned that I can still express myself through movements even if I grow old and lose many advanced skills."

All dancers are elegant and beautiful despite age as long as they grasp the essence of dance, and therefore, art, added Xie.
