Without Ding Junhui, China's snooker would not have developed so rapidly, let alone the emergence of many talented young people and talented players.
The 14 ranking tournaments have established the status of China's first brother
Since Ding Junhui was born, he is the first player to leave the Chinese Open, Shanghai Masters, National Championships, Asian Games and World Cup snooker champions in China, and the first great player in China to win the World Youth Championship. Since defeating Hendry in 2005 to win the ranking championship for the first time, Ding Junhui has won 14 ranking championships. Winning three trophies at the British Championships alone makes him the first non-British player to win the Triple Crown in snooker history, an achievement that is a world wonder. And his ranking performance, even in the history of the world snooker, is also the existence of the world's top ten, so Ding Junhui is absolutely deserved to become a brother in China.
Ding Junhui was inducted into the Hall of Fame with five single-season crowns
For China's snooker, Ding Junhui's performance is undoubtedly very great, because he has created a new era, but also broke the British's long-term rule over the traditional three major competitions. In 2013/14, it was a miraculous season in snooker history, as Ding Junhui completed a stunning five-time single-season crown. This is the first player since Hendry to complete five crowns in a single season, the only non-British player to complete this achievement, and the first player after the 80s to complete this achievement.

Ding Junhui's influence is no match

Even the influence of "Rocket" O'Sullivan is not as influential as Ding Junhui, because the Chinese market is indeed too big. If you find it incredible, then we speak with data. O'Sullivan's Crucible final is highly watched, but his world championship final has not yet been viewed more than 50 million times. However, Ding Junhui watched more than 130 million people in the 2016 World Championship final with Selby.
