01:47

On December 17 and 18, six Chinese youngsters, including Jin Cancan, appeared on the World Cup field as flag-bearers. Born in a county in Qiandongnan Miao and Dong Autonomous Prefecture, Guizhou Province, the 12-year-old boy Jin started his football dream when he received a red football suit from his father at the age of six.

During this experience, Jin brought his hometown's traditional culture to the world and brought home the passion of football. CGTN had an exclusive interview with the boy who just arrived in China after the World Cup.
