While most kids are mastering walking, Wang Lvecheng was dribbling 🏀. Now 6, this pint-sized athlete from the Chinese mainland has spent half his life perfecting crossovers, layups, and no-look passes that’ve gone viral across Douyin (China’s TikTok).
Starting with a mini hoop at age 3, Lvecheng’s journey mirrors a sports anime montage – complete with dawn practices, tiny jerseys, and a coach who calls him "Little Yao Ming." But it’s not just skills turning heads: His story highlights China’s growing youth sports culture, where 74% of urban children now participate in organized athletics by age 5.
"Basketball is my best friend," Lvecheng told us, showing off championship medals from local junior leagues. His daily routine? School → homework → 2 hours of drills → bedtime with a plush basketball. 🥹
Parents and coaches nationwide are cheering his progress as Chinese youth sports investments hit record highs this year. "This generation will redefine Asian athletics," says coach Li Wei, 34. "Passion starts early."
