  From Google Translate: "As for Fung Kwok Wai, the player who won the gold medal in the team competition at the Asian Games, he also had two wins and one loss. Fung Kwok Wai took advantage of his courage to defeat New Zealand player Jane Rowan, and then defeated Canol's Kaduras 4-0. However, facing the Chinese player Da Hailin, Fung Kwok Wai was in a passive position and finally lost 2-4.

  From Google Translate: "Fung Kwok Wai and Lian Tengzhi will represent Hong Kong in the Asian Snooker Championships to be held in Jordan in July.

Therefore, if he has another chance to compete this year, "Awei" will be fully prepared. He said: "This is my first time to play in the Asian Championships. I will prepare like I prepare for the Asian Games. I hope to get good results." Fung Guowei, who returned to Hong Kong from Belgium four years ago, has won two Open Championships and one Super League Championship.
