Training for sports starts at a young age in China.
The majority don’t make the grade but for those that remain, the pressure to win is intense.
Six days a week, they study in the mornings and train for four hours in the afternoon.
Others just want a decent education for their children.
Often the coaches are strict and un-smiling.
Some coaches are accused of regularly beating the students.
They often require six hours of training or more a day.
When these kids leave athletic schools, they can’t do anything because they have no skills.
Local sports commissions sometimes provide jobs, but in the end, many become factory workers.
Some athletes are promised job as policemen when they retire, but these promises are often broken.
