The baby, affectionately nicknamed Juanjuan, is not yet a year old but already exhibits impressive skill on the skateboard, all before mastering the art of walking. The family lives in Chengdu, Sichuan province.
Juanjuan's father, Liu Daolong, is a former snowboarding athlete and a member of the Chinese national snowboard team. Even after retirement, he continues to embrace his passion for boardsports.
When Juanjuan was about five months old, Liu introduced him to skateboarding at a local skate park.

Advertisement Visitors queued up to capture on camera the sheer scale of the 70,000-tonne carrier, with its distinctive 'ski jump' ramp, fighter jets, likely to be J-15s, and helicopters, and to seize the chance to meet and interact with officers. 'The deck was absolutely buzzing with excitement. There was a massive singalong and you could even dance with the naval officers,' said Dong Xiaoyang, a user of the Chinese social media platform RedNote. 'You got a full, close-up view of both the J-15 and J-15T jets – I heard you can't even get this close at air shows. 'And the naval officers on board were incredibly cool. They were all happy to take photos with us, which was such a rare opportunity. I seriously made sure to get a picture with almost every one of them.'

Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan disliked this Hong Kong film director, but how good was he?
Lo Wei was one of Hong Kong's most renowned directors in the late 1960s and early 1970s, but disparagement from Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan tarnished his reputation. Advertisement Below, film historian Frank Djeng discusses how it could be time for Lo's voluminous body of work to be re-evaluated. Do you think Lo's work has been overlooked? Yes, I think it's time to reassess his accomplishments. He was one of Shaw Brothers' most prominent directors between 1964 and 1970, directing close to 20 films there. His The Golden Buddha (1966), which is a really fun James Bond-style film, was the first Shaw movie to take HK$1 million, and Lo was the first to be called a 'million-dollar director'.
