‘I need to step away from the cauldron, as it were. I need to go back to reality.’

On October 28, Solo was named the winner of the Chinese Bridge contest for primary school students, held in northern China’s Tianjin municipality.
The pre-teen, whose Chinese name is You Zijun, started learning the language when he was just three and has since grasped 400 Chinese characters.
While there are more than 50,000 Mandarin characters, the average person only needs to know about 2,500.
According to South China Morning Post, Solo said after his victory in the government-run contest that he would continue learning the language until people regard him as ‘the first Chinese with blonde hair.’
Solo’s Mandarin skills have left many people on social media impressed.
Rosamund shares two sons, Solo and Atom, 10, with her partner of 15 years, Robie Uniacke.
