FROM CHINA WITH LOVE
Billiards, a century old sport, has diverse disciplines. Snooker,American Pool, Carom, and 10-Ball each have their own unique fea-tures. Hey ball was born in the world billiards family, which combines the charm of snooker with the passion of American Pool.It requires exquisite skills and a holistic perspective, which is a dual exercise for the body and mind. As a sport that combines competi-tiveness and entertainment, it is suitable for people of all ages. And Chinese people love the sport very much.
Unfortunately, as a grassroots movement, it was unknown abroad and was considered rogue' s game by the mainstream in China at that time.Even if there was plenty offans, it was difficult for it to sur-vive. With the success of Ding Junhui and Pan Xiaoting, 9-Ball and Snooker were vigorously praised, Heyball, however, was thoroughly abandoned. This has left Heyball players in deep sorrow.
Isn't there anyone promoting Heyball in such a vast China? So at that time, under the Great Wall and on the coast of Bohai Sea, JOy Billiards made a grand wish: we were willing to emulate Yu Gongand promote Heyball to the world. Even if we cannot realized our dream, we still have our descendants as successors, can't we still succeed?
For the past eighteen years, we have struggled day and night and organized Heyball event against the trend. Countless practitioners were dedicated and persevering. The spark of Heyball, a national I sport, gradually became a prairie fire. It has gone from being a street game to now standing on the global stage. From the brink of extinction to the hall of the World Games, Heyball is like a phoe-nix in nirvana. In Asia, Africa, and Latin America, countless young people have changed their destinies due to Heyball. Superstars shine on the top international arena. As a sport that is both high-brows and lowbrows alike can enjoy, it has gradually become one of the national treasures with a strong momentum.
Under the influence of 5,000 years of traditional Chinese culture, JOY practiced the concept of serving the country through indus-try. Along the " Belt and Road", we promote Chinese culture, ex-change friendship, transfer values, and structure a common bil-liards language in the world.
This is the once-in-a-century opportunity to promote Heyball to the Olympic Games. As the slogan of From China with Love goes, we seek common ground while reserving differences, finding common interests among countries. Starting from the small balls on the table, we contribute to the big ball which we live on, and help to build a community with a shared future for mankind.
Although the jourmeyis long, as long as we are wlling to move for-ward, we will eventually arrive. Although our career is dificult, as long as we persevere, we will eventually succeed. The great cause of a generation has been handed over to us, and we must work to-gether with great determination to promote Heyball to the Olym-pic Games. We hope that Heyball practitioners around the world can work together for our common dream.
This serves as a preface.
