For some people, coding sounds like gibberish from another planet. But that's not putting Chinese parents off as they are keen to give their children a head start in life. One coding tutorial channel on the Internet has garnered almost 60,000 followers and over 1 million views. But that's not even the most remarkable thing -- how about the teacher being only 8 years old!? His clients are mostly older than him, in fact some of them are adults. Many youngsters - pushed by their parents - start coding before they even start school these days.
