01

first dreams

Ink and ink painting gallery

One morning in the early summer of 1997, a notice from the Academy of Fine Arts made her 12-year dream vanish in an instant.

God closes a door and opens a window for you at the same time, and a beam of light outside the window illuminates the dim stadium for her.

02

fresh start

What do you say to succeed?

Since then, a single bed has been added to the small warehouse in the arena utility room. Her father became her coach and gave her a hard rule to practice at least 8-12 hours a day.

There are no weekends, so I can only take half a day off a week. Even if I get sick, I have to keep practicing.

03

First crown in life

The new dream shines into reality

The real powerhouse is not a person who sheds tears, but a person who runs with tears.

In 1998, at the National Women’s Nine-Ball Open, the father outside the stadium was nervously smoking a cigarette, but Pan Xiaoting on the court was unusually calm, with a cold face, “recruiting and controlling the enemy.”

That year, at the age of 16, she won the championship trophy for the first time, and her brilliant career officially set sail.

07

After the glory

The queen who walked off the “sacred altar”

Some people say that Pan Xiaoting, the former “Queen of Nine Balls”, now only has the title of “Queen of Heaven”.

Maybe I will become a better version of myself,

Maybe I will walk into a different world,

Maybe I will meet that good time soon.

——Pan Xiaoting “Stop in the Best Time”
