Game on! chinese pool

An eastern county successfully holds the first world Chinese billiards championship. Chen Yingqun and Hu Kaiyong report in Yushan.

People of Yushan, Jiangxi province, have a passion for sports. Every morning, hundreds of people exercise by the riverside, run across the bridge over the river and climb up to the mountains, come sunshine or rain. But they never imagined that this county of about 620,000 people and located in a mountainous area would be able to hold a major billiards competition.

The 2015 CBSA De Er Le Cup China Billiard World Championship is the first such Chinese event to gain international prestige.
