Early life
editBorn in Yancheng, Kuai initially pursued football as a hobby while balancing academic studies. In 2019, he failed to qualify for the Shanghai Campus Football Summer Camp, which aimed to select students for national-level competitions. This setback led coach Cheng Yaodong to recommend him to the Genbao Football Base, where he began formal training under Xu Genbao’s guidance.[2]
