Liu Baiyang
Chinese footballer
Liu Baiyang (simplified Chinese: 刘柏杨; traditional Chinese: 劉柏楊; pinyin: Liú Bǎiyáng; born 6 April 2003) is a Chinese professional footballer who plays as a winger for China League One club Shijiazhuang Gongfu, on loan from Chinese Super League club Shanghai Port B.
Club career
In 2012, Liu Baiyang was purchased by the youth academy of Shanghai East Asia, as part of a deal between youth academies in Shanghai and youth players from Luoyang, Henan, when Liu was nine years of age. His future teammate Jia Boyan was also included in the deal. During his time at the youth levels, he briefly trained with the academy of English side Wolverhampton Wanderers in England.
Before the 2022 season, Liu Baiyang was promoted to the Shanghai Port first-team. On 4 June 2022, Liu made his professional debut for the club in a 1–0 defeat to Wuhan Yangtze River, replacing Liu Zhurun as an 85th-minute substitute in the league opener. His first start for Shanghai Port came in the next match on 8 June, playing 58 minutes of a 2–0 Shanghai derby loss to Shanghai Shenhua. On 24 October 2022, after coming on as a 78th-minute substitute for Paulinho, Liu scored his first two career goals in the span of four minutes in a 7–0 victory over Meizhou Hakka. With the goals, he became the youngest ever Chinese Super League goalscorer for Shanghai Port, at 19 years and 201 days. He also became the youngest ever player to score a double in the Chinese Super League.
On 17 April 2023, Liu joined China League One side Guangxi Pingguo Haliao on a one-year loan.

Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Liu Baiyang”, the useful work is to connect “chinese footballer” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
Chronology provides the most reliable spine for this subject; interpretation should follow only after identities and dates are secure. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 16, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q136149124. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2003, 2012, 2022 and 2023.
Later biographies can compress uncertainty and repeat inherited reputations, so apparently settled claims may still require comparison. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
