China's Fan Zhengyi, who ranked 8th in the world, unexpectedly defeated O 'Sullivan, the god of billiards, and won the 11th qualifying round of the European Masters of Snooker. This good news once again inspired the domestic billiards circle. Fan Zhengyi claimed to be the second China player to win the championship in qualifying after after Yan Bingtao. Yan Bingtao is the first qualifying champion in China who can be compared with Ding Junhui in talent.

Yan bingtao was born in an ordinary family in Zibo, Shandong province in 2. His talent for billiards is innate. When he was 7 years old, he watched others play billiards on the roadside, and he became interested in billiards. At the age of 8, he won the fifth place in the adult black eight competition in Shandong Province, which is a talent that can be seen by the naked eye. At that time, billiards prodigy held up half the sky. Many parents who failed to achieve satisfactory results in their children's cultural classes copied the miracle of China billiards prodigy Ding Junhui, and wanted their children to give up their studies and specialize in billiards, provided that the children were made of this material, otherwise it would be tantamount to learning from the East.

Yan Bingtao's father saw his son's great potential in taking this road from his billiards record, so he resolutely quit his job when his son was nine years old and accompanied him to Beijing to learn ball. Unfortunately, the father and son could not bear the huge economic pressure, and returned to their hometown of Zibo, Shandong Province. Fortunately, they met Zhang Dongtao, a master billiards player. Under the guidance of Zhang Dongtao, Yan Bingtao's skills improved by leaps and bounds. In 213, an Asian Players Tour was held in Yixing, Ding Junhui's hometown. Yan Bingtao, who was only 14 years old, participated in the war and actually became the biggest dark horse in this game, defeating the world famous Bingham to be among the top 16, and became famous in World War I.

The biggest reward he got was that he could go to the World Snooker Academy for free to further hone his skills and improve himself, where he met top coaches and teammates, making his billiards skills change with each passing day. Sure enough, Yan Bingtao, who is less than 15 years old, won the youngest world amateur championship and finally got a ticket to the professional competition. After that, Yan Bingtao went all the way, first surpassing O 'Sullivan to become the youngest player in the top 8 in qualifying. Later, he surpassed prodigy Ding Junhui and became the youngest China player in the top four in qualifying. In 219, Yan Bingtao successfully defeated the world famous Joyce to win the championship in the snooker Riga Masters, becoming the first post- qualifying champion in China. China billiards is not only Ding Junhui, but Yan Bingtao's talent and level are by no means below him, and the future can be expected.
