“I quite like acrobatics and I also learn it very fast,” Ziyang said in an interview with Beijing Youth Daily. “I don’t cry when teachers punish me as I know it is necessary.” /CFP Photo

Ziyang’s trainer Liu said acrobats can make money for their families and also have a chance to be selected for the national team. /CFP Photo
