After winning his first world snooker championship title by defeating John Higgins 10-6 at The Crucible, Wu Yize, the 22-year-old snooker world champion, expressed his heartfelt plans to use the £500,000 prize money to purchase a house and take his parents on a travel adventure. Emphasizing the significance of his parents in his life, Wu acknowledged their unwavering support, stating that they are his true champions and the source of his strength.
