Meet Yang Jiawei, a former national football champion on a new mission, both on the field and online. In Shanghai, Yang built a massive social media presence, followed by millions, as well as his own academy, where he mentors the next generation of young players. His hands-on work embodies a wider national strategy to popularize football as a sport for all, exemplified by events like Shanghai's newly launched grassroots "Jiechao" or "Street Super League." Follow CGTN's Zhang Siran to see how China's vision — giving everyone a chance to play — is building a massive talent pool from the ground up. 📺 Subscribe to our YouTube channel and stay updated with our latest analysis and interviews:👇 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgrNz-aDmcr2uuto8_DL2jg 👈 Download our APP on Apple Store (iOS): https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cctvnews-app/id922456579?l=zh&ls=1&mt=8 Download our APP on Google Play (Android): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.imib.cctv For more: https://www.c
