Allan, 16, Beijing

Allan devotes his life to the culture, music and art of Hip Hop. He’s passionate about Street Ball especially and plays regularly for his team Show Time…. For any time he has spare outside of this, him and his friends dedicate themselves to opening peoples eyes to Chinese hip-hop culture. He also loves drawing and design, having drawn a large picture on his bedroom room at 8. We imagine his mother must have been terribly pleased. Whilst he enjoys his talent for drawing, he also explains it helps him to clear his mind and relax. Amazingly literate in English, it’s always a joy to read his wonder words about his Chinese world, languishing in all he has to show and say.
