In today’s digital age, gaming addiction has become a significant concern for many young people. In Chengdu, a new approach is transforming this challenge into an opportunity for positive growth.
Meet Hou Xu, the visionary founder of Yidu E-sports Academy. Recognizing the potential pitfalls of excessive gaming, Hou is harnessing the power of esports to guide youth toward a healthier relationship with technology.
By applying the ancient teachings of Confucius, such as ‘self-reflection’ and ‘teaching according to one’s ability,’ Hou’s academy offers professional training combined with value-based guidance. This unique approach helps students understand the positive potential of esports while avoiding harmful obsession.
‘Esports can be more than just games,’ says Hou. ‘They can be a platform for learning, teamwork, and personal development.’
Through tailored programs, the academy encourages students to reflect on their habits and motivations, promoting self-awareness and responsibility. The result is a generation of young people who not only excel in esports but also develop valuable life skills.
