Zhang Wang, 5, does not share the hobbies of children his age. Zhang has his fun tightrope-walking high above the ground. These pictures show him tip-toeing across the wire railing of a dam in Nanjiang county, southwest China’s Sichuan Province. /CFP Photo

Every day in the morning before going to kindergarten, Zhang walks 500 meters along the wire, with his parents following him and making sure of his safety. /CFP Photo

Zhang’s father says he trained his son in tightrope walking so Zhang could build up confidence and concentration. /CFP Photo

Zhang’s daily training includes squatting, push-ups, running laps, and rock climbing. “He is interested in these exercises, I have never forced him,” Zhang’s father said. /CFP Photo
