Disgraced snooker player Stephen Lee is hoping he can inspire the next generation of players in China.
Lee, who in 2013 was given a
12-year suspension for match-fixing,
has set up an academy in Shenzhen.
The former world number five's ban will end on 12 October 2024 - the date of his 50th birthday.
"I've seen a lot of talent here, it's raw talent and they are very capable young players," the 40-year-old told the BBC. "I'm very impressed."
In an Inside Out West feature, Lee reveals he intends to travel to China once a month to act as a mentor for children as young as 12.
