Former Premier Wen Jiabao visited a rural middle school in Shandong Province earlier this week, where he met with students, gave some talks and totally schooled those little bastards in a game of hoops.
The 72-year-old still seems pretty sprightly, although it's hard to tell from the few photos that have surfaced whether or not he actually, well, made any shots.
Perhaps most surprising is the fact that these photos are still circulating freely on the Chinese internet - candid pictures of state leaders, retired or otherwise, are usually kept to the confines of Xinhua-official shots. Maybe if the game had been shirts v. skins, we wouldn't be as lucky.
When not totally owning a bunch of 11-year-olds on the court, Wen ate with kids at a school dining hall and gave classes "on weather and climate." He should have been giving classes on how to beat Obama in their inevitable one-on-one.
