The first time Wang and his friends left the mountains, they were thrilled. However, several days later, some of them wanted to return home. To comfort(安慰) them, Zhang offered them delicious food and toys.
Every day, the children got up at 6:30 am, practised all day and took classes at night. The team travelled to cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Chengdu for competitions. Wang's first competition was in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province.
