  "My billiard idols are British player O'Sullivan and my country's Zhao Xintong. Their offense is very sharp, and I play in this style. Because I like billiards, I practice for four or five hours after school every day. It's getting lighter and lighter. My goal is to take the first place in my academic performance like my billiards performance." Zhang Bolun, who was wearing a professional ball uniform on the court, looked like a childish little gentleman.

  As one of the three major gentleman sports in the world, billiards can promote the development of children's physical and mental health in many ways.

Zhao Juan, president of Tianjin Children's Sports Association, said that it can not only exercise young people's concentration and logical thinking ability, but also promote the protection of children's vision and the correction of cervical spine development.

"Since last year, we have cooperated with the Second Affiliated Primary School of Tianjin Normal University, and billiards have been warmly welcomed by the students. This year, we also plan to continue to promote billiards in the school and extend it to the community."

  There are many children's billiards fans in Tianjin. During the interview, Jin Xin, the head of the extended billiards training base, told reporters that there were more than 100 children trained in the base, including children from the United Kingdom and South Korea.

"Young people can improve their personal temperament and create a calm personality in billiards. We will also cooperate with public high schools this year, so that children who love this sport can get more professional guidance."

  In the promotion of children's billiards, the party and mass service centers in Tianjin's sub-districts also play an active role.

When talking about the introduction of physical education into the community, Mao Yu, deputy secretary of the Party Working Committee of Donglihu Sub-district, said that the community has organized a series of billiards activities over the years to popularize sports knowledge to young people and enhance the physical quality of children in the community.

At the same time, more parents also participated, which enhanced the communication between parents and children, and played a role in promoting family harmony.
