Picture this: icy rinks, the clatter of sticks, and young athletes gliding like superheroes on ice. That’s the scene across the Chinese mainland as President Xi Jinping’s words of encouragement to aspiring hockey players ignite a new wave of passion for the sport.
In a heartfelt gesture, President Xi urged young hockey enthusiasts to 'stay committed to your dreams,' a message that’s now fueling Team China’s preparation for the 2025 Asian Winter Games. Meet Zhang Wei, 19, who credits Xi’s advice for pushing him from late-night practices to representing his country: 'His words reminded me that greatness starts with grit.'

With the Games just over a year away, all eyes are on how this squad will skate into history.
