During lunch, Wen Ci got her food and took a seat next to Yu Qing. As she ate, she asked curiously, "Doctor Yu, do you know how to dance?"
'Since I've agreed to do this dance, I have to do it well,' she thought. It wasn't just all the soldiers in the Northwest Military Region who would be watching the Military Art performance; a touring arts troupe would be there too.
They couldn't embarrass the hospital.
Yu Qing nodded. "A little. When I was little, there was an 'educated youth' in my village who was a dancer. After she was sent down, she lived next door to my family, and I secretly learned from her for a few years."
The 1970s were the height of the "Down to the Countryside Movement." City dwellers were only allowed to keep urban residency for one child, so families with multiple children had to choose one of them to send to the countryside.
The educated youth who lived next door to Yu Qing's family was a dancer from the city.
