I've been watching some Chinese commercial league tournaments, and there are some pretty entertaining matches. I didn't know this but many current foreign pros and former Chinese pros play in these tournaments. Here are a couple interesting ones I watched recently.

Ovtcharov vs. Liu Jialiang. Liu is an interesting character in that he was never a provincial/national team player. He was the former Chinese university games champion though, so he's no slouch and is in fact one of the top commercial tournament players in China. He's rated in the 2600's in China.

Yan An vs. Liu Jialiang. Liu proves his performance against Ovtcharov is no slouch.

Eugene Wang vs. Wang Xinyang. Wang Xinyang is rated ~2400 in China, and he operates a TT club in Shanghai with Liu Jialiang.
 
Thanks for the post! I also am interested in Chinese commercial tournaments, here I'd like to add two more matches in 2024. They are from DHS Cup, the annual tournament in Shanghai.

Zhu Yi vs Yan An, Zhu Yi is also a top player in Shanghai with a score of around 2500-2600. He and Liu Jialiang are the best known non-professional players in Shanghai.

The second match is a mix-double match, Zhou Yu & Liu Shiwen vs Yangshuo & Li Rensijia. Liu Shiwen sometimes show up in commercial races, and this is one valuable chance for fans to see her playing again. Zhou Yu was also retired from Chinese national team. Yang Shuo and Li Rensijia are less famous but they also showed great impact playing with former national team players.
