In baseball parlance, Ma Hu, 13, who arrived at the charitable baseball camp in November 2017, has gone from being an offensive liability to a home run slugger. In other words, the punk kid has been transformed into a dependable and mature young man. His road to respectability was fraught with challenges, but ultimately he was able to pitch himself out of the biggest jams.
I come from a small county in the Ningxia Hui autonomous region. My father barbecued food on the street to earn our daily bread. That's why I am also good at barbecuing.
I learned something from him. But my father was once put in prison for several years because he injured some other people during a fierce fight.
