In a revealing interview, Wu discussed the challenges and difficult decisions his family made to help him pursue his snooker career from a young age.

The victory secured Wu's place in snooker history alongside the rarefied company of world champions while also highlighting the cultural shift in China regarding support for individual sports achievements.

Wu becomes only the second player from China to lift the world championship trophy, a milestone that reflects the growing prominence of Chinese players at the highest level of professional snooker.

His journey reportedly involved considerable financial and personal sacrifices from family members who believed in his potential at a time when snooker was not considered a viable career path in China.
