There's an interesting story behind these photos ! ๐
๐ธ๏ธFirst of all, they feature two World Snooker Champions: the former Stephen Hendry ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟ and the future Wu Yize ๐จ๐ณ.
๐ธ๏ธSecondly, the photos were taken on May 17, 2012, just 14 days after Stephen announced the end of his illustrious career.
๐ธ๏ธThese photos are from the press conference in Lanzhou city, northwest China's Gansu province. It was in this city that Wu Yize was born.
๐ธ๏ธHendry ended up in China because he signed a long-term agreement with the Chinese side, becoming an ambassador for snooker in that country, which included promoting the game and working with young players. And this work bore fruit, as the little Chinese boy in the photo, just 14 years later (last night), became the second youngest World Snooker Champion after... Stephen Hendry
