Yang Wei Opens Up: My 15-Year-Old Son Yang Yangyang’s Surprising Sports Switch – From 8 Years of Golf to Hoops
Yang Yangyang: The Rebellious Teenager Who’s Stealing Hearts
Yang Yangyang, the adorable “second-generation athlete” who captured hearts with his pouting lips in “Where Are We Going, Dad”, has grown into a cool teenager. His father, Yang Wei, recently shared updates about his 15-year-old son, revealing that Yang Yangyang has surpassed his parents’ height, standing at an impressive 1.7 meters tall.
A Rebellious Teenager in the Making
Like many teenagers, Yang Yangyang has entered his rebellious phase. He’s developed a passion for long hair and often disregards his parents’ advice. Yang Wei jokingly remarks that his son “almost never listens to adults.” Their disagreements often lead to Yang Yangyang storming off, saying, “You don’t understand me” or “Why are you always unwilling to listen to me.”
A Father’s Patience and Reflection
Yang Wei has learned to suppress his temper and reflect on his actions, waiting anxiously for his son to calm down. He humorously compares himself to a servant, saying, “I feel like I’m serving my dad.” As a father of three, Yang Wei’s concerns are evident, with visible white hair and wrinkles on his face.
From Gymnastics to Golf and Basketball
Yang Yangyang initially practiced gymnastics but later switched to golf, which his father supported for eight years. However, Yang Yangyang has now taken a liking to basketball. His father’s investment in his golf training seems to have been for naught, but Yang Wei remains supportive of his son’s new passion.
A Desire for Independence
Yang Yangyang has expressed his desire to study in Hong Kong alone, which his father initially rejected due to concerns about his son’s self-care abilities. However, Yang Wei and his wife, Yang Yun, eventually took their son to visit schools in Hong Kong, which made Yang Yangyang realize the challenges of living alone.
A Turning Point in Their Relationship
After the visit, Yang Yangyang became more open to discussing his plans with his parents. They decided to wait a year before making any decisions, allowing Yang Yangyang to focus on his studies and develop essential life skills, such as cooking.
The Happy Sisters: A New Generation of Gymnasts
Yang Wei and Yang Yun also have twin daughters who are enthusiastic about gymnastics. As a gymnastics champion, Yang Yun is keen to see her daughters follow in their parents’ footsteps. The couple hopes that one of their children will inherit their gymnastics legacy and potentially win an Olympic championship.
A Bright Future Ahead
Yang Wei’s family is full of excitement and promise. With Yang Yangyang navigating his teenage years and the twin sisters pursuing gymnastics, the future looks bright for this talented family.
