Yang Zheyu, a 6-year-old kindergarten student in Chengdu becomes famous these days. When he walks through the neighborhood where he and his parents live, neighbors take photos with him. That’s because the newspaper have called him as the country’s youngest discoverer of dinosaur footprints.

Zheyu, who was born in December 2014, visited his grandfather’s home in Tongjiang with his parents during the seven-day National Day holiday last year to see “strange footprints”. His grandfather, Gou Taixiang, 56, a doctor, had told Zheyu that footprints like those of a chicken could be found on a large stone in his mountainous home village of Chaoyang.

At around 2 pm on Oct 1, Zheyu visited the stone with his parents and grandfather. Because the stone was covered with grasses, the grandfather cleared them away. Then five footprints could be seen.

“My son asked me to send photos of the footprints to Xing Lida," said Gou Fengqiong, the boy’s mother. Xing is a scientist about ancient animals. “Xing Lida replied the next day and said he would head for Tongjiang on Oct 9,” said Gou who was a doctor before becoming a full-time mother.

Xing reached Chaoyang village with two students and soon identified the strange footprints as those of a dinosaur. Each footprint is about 35 centimeters long and has three toes. They belonged to a dinosaur about 4 meters long, he said.

Zheyu was scared to cry when he was 2 years old seeing dinosaurs in an amusement park in Chengdu. He had an interest in the animals from then on. “He took an online course on dinosaurs taught by Xing Lida and learned how to identify dinosaur footprints,” his mother said.
