The shout rings through a coterie of onlookers by a frozen pond as 12 men, in helmets and other hockey gear, take position on a makeshift rink under a pale sun and sapphire sky.
The lack of interest is aggravated by the unremarkable men's hockey team that is to compete for China in the Beijing Games next month.

Chu has organised pond hockey games for a long time, outlasting institutional support given by state-owned"iron rice bowl" enterprises in the region as northeast China's heavy industry went from boom to bust. "We begin by determining the centre-point of the rink. After that, we board up the perimeter with a total of 80 wooden boards, each either 1.8 metres or 2.4 metres long," he said.
