Homecoming for China-trained acrobat

For almost 40 years, Kavita dreamed of returning to China. That dream became a reality last year after his story captured media attention and he performed at an event commemorating the 60th anniversary of diplomatic relations between China and Kenya. With support from the Chinese embassy, Kavita made his way back, not to Guangzhou, but to Wuqiao in Hebei province, a county known as the birthplace of Chinese acrobatics.

"Coming here to Wuqiao reminds me of my first trip to China. What I've found here is fascinating because almost everyone knows something about acrobatics," said the now 53-year-old Kavita, his excitement evident.
