It's boom time for Chinese kids reaping the many benefits of the Olympic sport, as He Qi reports in Shanghai.
Yang Peilin first picked up fencing in 2016 after his friend recommended that he try the sport. He liked it so much that he decided to let his 11-year-old son, Yang Junran, follow suit.
As it turned out, the boy had a natural flair for swordsmanship. He even went on to win several prizes in competitions.
