In 2007, at the age of 14, Zheng Yubo debuted at the Masters, and his sharp style left a deep impression on fans. However, no one knows that Zheng Yubo has almost given everything to his family that is not rich in order to learn to play.

The young Zheng Yubo is always struggling and suffering under pressure.
Betting against fate, he chose to persevere. In 2009, Zheng Yubo won the second place in the "Philman Qiao Cup" National Chinese Eight-Ball Ranking Competition, and at the age of 16, he became famous. In the fog of unclear direction, practicing hard and exploring forward in the faint morning light, during this time, Zheng Yubo's mind and skills gradually matured.

After the defeat, Zheng Yubo cried, but the tears could not extinguish the ambition, but they just watered hope. Zheng Yubo continued to hold the club and walked to the training ground again and again, accumulating the strength to counterattack.
In 2016, Zheng Yubo, who had experienced a baptism, jumped up again and won two consecutive sub-stations. In 2018, he finally ushered in a glorious moment - lifting the Masters Finals trophy, which represented the highest honor, and becoming the first person to win the Joe's Million Award. "At that time, leaving the championship in China" was the expectation of all fans before the game for Chinese players, and Zheng Yubo did it.
The road to billiards has been full of twists and turns, but fate is only to use Zheng Yubo's future as a chip. On the road of life, fate tests Zheng Yubo, but threatens life and death! The sudden attack of the disease almost took away everything from Zheng Yubo. But all the confusion, unwillingness, and disobedience, Zheng Yubo slowly swallowed, because he knew that the real pain, no one could share, can only change it from one shoulder to his other shoulder.
Fortunately, Zheng Yubo, who had walked from the edge of life and death, finally returned to the field, the same steady, accurate, fierce, and the same clear and clear. Nirvana was reborn, and Zheng Yubo had long since become an indomitable fighter against fate. Fans pursue a star, only need him to achieve a certain achievement in a certain field.
