There is a lot of media material about the current exhibitions in China, and, thank to Kalacs we can access A LOT of it. But as, maybe, not everyone can open the links easily here are my pics with the purpose of offering “the essentials” in a post …

First there is this article in the local press (automatic translation with a few improvement… )

A feast for the eyes of the fans

Facing the camera of reporters, O’ Sullivan who visited Kunshan a few years ago, said hello to the snooker fans

“I am very happy to come to Kunshan again and see so many enthusiastic fans and feel the enthusiasm of this city. Kunshan is a very beautiful city, the people are friendly and the culture is really great!“

From May 21st to 22nd, the “Spark Cup” Snooker Masters Invitational Tournament was held for two days. Four snooker masters, “Rocket” O’Sullivan, “Uncrowned King” Lisowsky, China’s “Wonder Boy” Marco Fu and “Dazai” Zhang Anda, staged four exciting duels. Over the past two days, thousands of snooker fans gathered in Kunshan, and many spectators even came from cities such as Tianjin and Jilin.

In the arena , a fan and his family were deeply attracted by the players’ precise strokes and positions.: “The game was very exciting. The position of the white ball was just like the movement of the hand.” “Thank you Kunshan for hosting such a wonderful event.“

The city and area indeed look great.

And more images of the Ronnie v Marco Fu match, a match that Ronnie won by 5-4.
