好像他们现在还是一家子吧？
是的，今年李还被选为Father of the year。
他们的大女儿sophie一岁半被发现听力残疾，他妻子Mary的退役和一家回墨尔本的决定相信与此有关，他大女儿是澳洲首批接受双边人工耳蜗植入的儿童，李得到澳洲好爸爸的荣誉也是与此有关。（他大女儿现在已经20岁了）
这是ABC的新闻报道：
He's known worldwide as Mao's Last Dancer - and now international ballet dancer turned stockbroker Li Cunxin is Australia's top dad.
Li, who lives in Melbourne with his wife and three children, has been named the 2009 Shepherd Centre Australian Father of the Year.
"This is indeed a great privilege," he said on receiving the award at a ceremony at NSW Parliament House.
"I regard this award as recognition of the important contribution all Australian fathers have made for the well being of our children.
"I'm sure there are other fathers out there far more deserving than me," he added.
Li's tale is well known worldwide thanks to his bestselling autobiography Mao's Last Dancer.
The book tells of his upbringing in poverty in communist China. At age 11, he left home to undertake a harsh seven-year training regime at the Beijing Dance Academy.
He went on to graduate as one of China's best dancers and became one of the first two cultural exchange students under Mao's regime allowed to go to the US to study.
However, after defecting to the US he was locked up in the Chinese consulate in Houston, causing a political stand-off between Washington and Beijing before he was released as a free man.
Li went on to dance with the Houston Ballet for 16 years and performed around the world, meeting and falling in love in London with Australian born ballerina Mary McKendry.
They married in 1987 and moved to Melbourne in 1995.
At 34, he studied with the view of becoming a stockbroker while juggling his career as a principal dancer with the Australian Ballet.
As a father, he has helped his daughter Sophie overcome difficulties after she was diagnosed with profound hearing loss aged just 18 months.
Sophie, now 20, was one of the first Australian children to receive bilateral cochlear implants and went on to complete her Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) in 2008, finishing in the top 5 per cent of the state.
Li says he was humbled to have received the award and it was even more poignant following the death of his own father earlier this year.
"My values as a father and a family man have been passed down from generation to generation," Li said.
"My children are integral in my life."
Meanwhile, Chris Cotter, a police sergeant and former youth liaison officer for Macquarie Fields, has been named the 2009 NSW Community Father of the Year.
Sgt Cotter was heavily involved in helping troubled youths living in the south-western Sydney region following riots in the area in 2005.
His three boys - Joshua, Brandon and Cameron - nominated him for the award.
