My 9-year-old son is so obsessed with football that he never misses every TV program in the "Top Ten" and knows it backwards. I don't know how many times he asked to go to the stadium to watch a "real" football. Unfortunately, in Fuzhou, he has only seen a "ball game" between Hong Kong singers and Fuzhou entrepreneurs in recent years, and a "silver city" in Xiamen last summer. Even in such a game, he remembers every detail and has been chanting it to this day. We gritted our teeth at the thought of the poor child. 1October 29th, 10, our family of three boarded the plane to Dalian. The children are so happy. Go to Dalian. Our family also prepared a special coat to keep out the cold. The son also specially asked to sew a small national flag on his clothes.
When we arrived in Dalian and got off the plane, everyone looked at our family with a southern accent and knew why we came. We can feel the enthusiasm of Dalian people everywhere. Before leaving, I chatted with a friend who had only met once in Dalian and asked about the temperature. I didn't expect this friend to be rich. He heard that we came all the way to watch the ball, and specially sent the company's most luxurious car to pick it up in person, saying, "On behalf of Dalian people, I welcome Fuzhou fans!" When I arrived at the hotel, I immediately alerted the manager and personally came out to "receive small fans from afar". When eating, the child is too excited to eat. Fortunately, my friend in Dalian has been hiding the ticket and lied to him that he would not give it unless he ate well. Poor my naughty son suddenly turned into a good boy, suffering from oral ulcer, happily finished his meal, with the last bite in his mouth, and hurried to ask for a ticket. Hold the ticket tightly in your hand and show it to everyone in the restaurant: "I have a ticket to watch the ball tomorrow!" " "
I will never forget this restaurant. The waiters in it are all kind old people in their fifties. I especially want to thank an old man who served at our table. At that time, he said to my son, "If only tomorrow were colder than today. Then Qatar has never seen this kind of weather. " My son actually remembered this sentence and immediately went back to his room to find Dalian Evening News. At first glance, it's hard to shout, "Tomorrow is 5 degrees higher than today!" Fortunately, there is this psychological hint, otherwise what will my son do the next day! Less than noon the next day, my son urged me to start. Dude still sent a special car. Driving to Jinzhou, 60 kilometers away, is already crowded with people. I noticed that there were policemen everywhere in the street. My son seems to be among friends. He quickly took out the horn and telescope he had prepared and hung them on his chest, holding the bigger national flag he had just bought. Almost everyone he didn't know laughed happily.
Walking to the stands, I began to feel a little bad atmosphere. Dozens of public security comrades firmly guarded the entrance, as if welcoming each other, with serious faces and unceremoniously searching one by one, and all our coke and mineral water were detained. My son didn't care, so he smiled happily at them and finally infected these serious people. A leading policeman also smiled and said, "Let this southern child go first."
When we got to the stands, the dense protective nets separated us from the stadium, and I felt very uncomfortable. The son was in high spirits and ignored these. The stand next door is the "Dalian Fans Association" facing the podium, which is obviously organized. There is also a military band, which has been playing for an hour and a half before the game starts. My son is happy to sing and shout with them. An hour before the start of the game, the stadium was full of fire and violence. First, a Jinzhou fan who claimed to be a "small landlord" somehow slipped down from the heavily guarded runway and made a huge banner of "loyalty to the country" for a week; Then a group of Tianjin men with national flags painted on their faces spread out a national flag as big as a stand and walked around the field. At first, I thought they were allowed. It was not until they approached the rostrum that they were surrounded by a large number of military police and escorted back to the stands that they realized that they had slipped down. At this time, cheers thundered in the venue. I won't mention the next event! One to two, the fans are actually "calm", too calm!
At this time, night falls, the temperature is very low, and everyone's heart is colder. We can't help but calm down. "China team, come on!" It became a neat and thunderous "Qi Wusheng, class is over!" At this time, the audience, including the "semi-official fans" next door, cheered for every Qatari attack and "calmed down" for China's messy "attack"! Only my poor son still doesn't understand why so many people suddenly ask someone to finish class without cheering, continue to wave their national flag and shout "Come on, China Team" hoarsely. The northeast man around me looked at him with tears in his eyes. Several men came up with red eyes and advised us to "lead the children first, don't look down!" " "I'm in such a hurry, my son wants to fight hard with them.
1 3, a salute sounded outside the stadium. The audience responded loudly. Someone in the stands put up a banner saying "China Football Association, wash and sleep". Some people don't know whether it is intentional or unintentional, and put the original banner "China people are not afraid of death, are they still afraid of difficulties?" The rest of the first half looks really great! I think someone is getting nervous. A large number of military and police officers sneaked into the stadium. In front of the railing of each stand stood a row of tall policemen in cotton coats, facing the audience.
The final whistle sounded. Maybe there is something wrong with my feelings at this moment. I feel quiet for a while. For a time, thunderous and tragic applause and cheers broke out at the venue. Only my son finally stood in the cold wind for two hours and sat down feebly. Qatar team danced happily in a circle in the stadium, and the semi-official cheerleading team and the audience next door were jubilant! At this time, the really nervous police began to ask the audience to leave quickly. My son wandered in the stands, saying that when the China team came out to thank the audience, he would see his beloved Haidong with his own eyes. At this point, the stadium lights have gone out, and the China team has already fled without a trace, and no one even came out to take a bow. At this time, I was speechless. A policeman next to me came up to my son in a friendly way and said, "son, they dare not come out to see you." Go! " The police still have prestige in the eyes of children. With his help, my son walked out of the gym step by step. We were the last to walk out of this stand, and behind us were dozens of military and police walls, which immediately blocked the entrance to prevent people from rushing back. Seeing the chaos outside, the kind policeman worried about our children from other places and sent us all the way to the parking place. When passing through the main stand, I saw tens of thousands of people blocking the exit. "Qi Wusheng, come out!" At this time, the shouts were earth-shattering, and my naive son even said to me, "Wait a minute, too." I'll let Haidong sign when they come out. " My tears finally jumped out of the box!
Before getting to the car, the driver sent by Dalian buddies has started the car and waited anxiously. When we got on the bus, the policeman who hadn't spoken for a long time finally stared at me with red eyes and said half a sentence: "Look at you, you came all the way with your children ..."
The car soon left Jinzhou. I found that the roads in downtown Jinzhou suddenly became one-way. There are police cars at every intersection, and only cars are allowed to enter. My son was lying on the back window, watching Jinzhou disappear into the night.
Go back to the hotel and come to the restaurant. All the waiters gathered around enthusiastically, everyone was smiling, but they were careful not to mention the word football. We were not in the mood for dinner, and the old waiter somehow coaxed his son into eating some jiaozi. The son also said to him, "It's just a little too hot today. Otherwise, we will win! " Ask the person next to you to take off your glasses. It's actually really cold. I just want to drink. It's strange that I can't find any wine in the restaurant! Back to my residence, the wine in the small refrigerator suddenly disappeared. Only when I left the next morning did I know that the careful hotel manager hid the wine as soon as he heard the result of the game. "We Dalian people are used to it. It must be very difficult for others to walk half way through China to watch this game."
Now, we are back in Fuzhou. Everything I bought in Jinzhou, including tickets and flags, was carefully wrapped by my son and put in his box. Tell me wisely before going to bed, 12 Don't go to Dalian, come back from school early and watch TV. I also promised to do my homework and eat well in the future, and then go to Dalian at 200 1. Everyone fell asleep and said, "Thank you, Dad!" " "
When I turned on the computer that I had left for a few days, my heart suddenly ached! Son, I shouldn't have taken you to the game.

The next day, this post was crowned with such an editor's note by the sports salon at that time and put on the top. At that time, Stone Li Fang had no news, no online publications, only BBS allowing 300 posts.
A post that makes us cry.
Since the Asian World Cup qualifiers started in mid-September, with the promotion of NelsonDon and Gooooooal, the hosts of Sports Salon, we have worked hard with many netizens and hosts to put the live broadcast of the event on the Internet. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all the people who participated in the live broadcast and all the online viewers who encouraged and supported us.
65438+1October 3 1, since the end of the game, we have no interest in continuing to broadcast live online, and we don't want to hear anyone mention China football again. Even after a few days, none of us want to go to the live studio of the sports salon to clean up those outdated web pages, and the time there is still at 3 1 in the evening. .....
However, two days ago, when we woke up from sleep, a post signed "Lao Rong" in the sports salon made everyone's eyes red. Unexpectedly, this post has been read more than 20 thousand times in our forum, and it spread all over the network in just 48 hours.
In order to prevent this touching story from being deleted along with hundreds of outdated old posts, we repost it here.
-Si Tong Li Fang Sports Salon1997165438+1October.
. Net) and "Shenzhen Juchao" newsent.szppt.net.cn) are also very lively.
However, after the match of June 365438+1October 3 1, netizens suddenly became "silent", their desire to talk about the ball died away, and the online live broadcast stopped.
"Hey, don't be angry, wash and sleep ~" some netizens said.
However, two days after the end of the game, a fan in Fuzhou posted on the Internet, which aroused enthusiastic response from netizens. Fuzhou people who signed "Lao Rong" presented their experience of going to Dalian to watch the ball on June 3 1 to other netizens through the Internet, and then posted it everywhere through other netizens. This post spread to almost all Chinese websites, adding some depth to the atmosphere of "crying silently". The following week, more than 60 netizens forwarded this post to the editor's mailbox, asking Southern Weekend to forward it. (For the full text of Lao Rong's post, please see the Southern Weekend Sports Edition in this issue. )
After reading this post, the editor, like all netizens who care about football in China, was deeply moved. Of course, this post can't save China's rotten football, but it seems to give us more than football.
There are many places to post on the Internet now. With the help of computer network, a cheap and efficient communication platform, people can post their feelings and understanding of life online, so that more people can share, sigh or sing. Anyone familiar with the Internet knows that online discussion forums are mostly trivial, boring and shallow sighs and comments, and posts like Lao Rong, which are excellent even from a literary point of view, are truly valuable.
It really doesn't matter which BBS or internet site Lao Rong's post started from. As long as the author doesn't ask for relevant rights and interests, any piece of information, even if it's just a sneeze, will immediately become a global wealth from the moment it goes online, and its coverage and dissemination speed are unmatched by any traditional media. This is something that many people in China have heard about online but have never seen.
Lao Rong's posts have gone through many twists and turns on the Internet and loaded into many traditional media, including this issue of Chengdu Business Daily, China Football Daily and Southern Weekend. Returning to our simulated world from the digital space, Lao Rong's desolation and desolation in front of China football, which has been repeatedly defeated, seems to suddenly add some "fashion" feelings. From the spatial transformation of such a post as Lao Rong, it can be said that the era of network communication has emerged in the Chinese world. Thanks to the old banyan in Fuzhou and his children who just woke up, and thanks to the netizens who dedicated the old banyan's post to the editor. Of course, I also want to thank those who have made efforts for network construction.

What I didn't expect was that things seemed to have just begun. Two weeks later, Southern Weekend published such an article.
Football is unfortunate and the fans are lucky-for Lao Rong and his children.
plum
I'm not a fan, but Lao Rong's post (165438+ 10/4) moved me so much that I wrote this article about football in China for the first time in my life. People used to say that "the country is unfortunate and the poet is lucky". After reading Lao Rong's post in tears, a sentence popped up in my mind: "Football is unfortunate and fans are lucky."
Some people may ask: Football in China is unfortunate, but why are fans in China happy? I think it is a great blessing to produce the word "Lao Rong" and the feelings of Lao Rong and his children in such an era of utilitarianism, lack of spirit and illusory feelings.
China football, my tearful China!
After being far away from the epic, idealistic and dedicated years, when the heroic feelings washed away by the storm have gradually disappeared, we can no longer feel the same fiery emotions in the crowd, calling for the same voice and shedding the same hot tears-without the carnival and elegy at the rally, where will there be a hurricane coming from the sky for me? !
Only football, China's football! Let's cry, let's laugh, and let's appreciate the terrible heartache in the terrible calm. China football is the only football that can let us relive our passionate feelings, sting our numb hearts, and let us "cry on the Internet by relying on the sword"!
At the end of Qing Dynasty, Qiu Bing defeated Guangzhou, boarded zhenhai tower, and felt the world. The author said: "The tears of heroes shed in the boundless sky, not because of the fence." I am here today, not for the past, not even for football, but for China fans and their children! The article describes the childlike innocence of children, the considerate care of old waiters, and even the care and kindness of public security comrades. How many words are eye-catching, considering that there are already tens of thousands of people watching online and how many fans are crying! Football is unlucky, but the fans are lucky!
I think Lao Rong's post is enough to make countless Ying Ge-style essays in today's bookstores feel ashamed. I also think it is fully qualified to be a page in our Chinese textbook: clear narrative, clear organization, simple words and sincere feelings; More importantly, it connects the fiery hearts of the second generation! But if I were a middle school teacher, I would love and fear it. What I'm afraid of is that I can't help myself when teaching this class for our tearful China!
Football is just a circular ball, and China fans are always in tears!

At that time, there was no electronic version of Southern Weekend. I typed Mr. Li's article word for word into the computer and saved it. I haven't met Mr. Li until now, and I don't even know what he does. Who knows, please tell me, who has the opportunity, please tell me that Lao Rong remembers him and thanks him for his good article. This article of his is really good.
At the end of 1997, the southern media began the habit of "taking stock" that continues to this day.
1997, southern weekend inventory special issue, "are you ok now", there is such a passage:
Message from editor-in-chief: The old banyan tree was moved.
...
After 1997, we have the joy of dreams and the pain of disillusionment. And clinging to the pursuit of dreams makes us close at hand and closely connected.
Just a few days ago, a reader wrote a story he experienced to the editorial department: bored, bought a copy of Southern Weekend on the boat from Zhanjiang to Haikou, and burst into tears before reading it. He handed the newspaper to a group of strangers chasing and frolicking on the deck. After reading the newspaper, teenagers were lost in thought like statues.
What deeply moved this group of people was Lao Rong's article No Tears in Dalian Jinzhou, which was taken from the Internet and touched countless people. When the ship comes to shore, teenagers may soon forget this unexpected encounter, but what touches them to meditate on the deck will not be forgotten. The night when China's football dream broke through Golden State may be the coldest night in the life of Lao Rong's son 10, but on that cold night morning, the child's young mind began to shine with a special kind of sunshine, that is, ideals and hopes.
...
In the first edition of this special issue, I introduced some people who caused a sensation in Southern Weekend this year, including Lao Rong. Old banyan is also the only one of these people who didn't provide photos. The paragraph introducing the old banyan tree is:)
1962 was born in Fuzhou, and was admitted to a university less than 16, majoring in computer software. After graduation, I went to work in a scientific research base of a national Ministry and engaged in national scientific research projects for several years. Later, I had the opportunity to send them to the United States to cooperate with foreign scientific research institutions to do some research and development on automatic control. I didn't finish my work, because the baby is coming, and I am back. I will stay in China to continue this project for various reasons. Later, it was made and rewarded by the state. At the age of 29, he got a senior title, which was a sensation in the unit. Later, the country called on scientific researchers to go out of the high wall and deep courtyard to serve the economy, so I went to a joint venture company established by the unit and foreign countries in Shenzhen at that time and set foot in the business community. After working for several years, I felt very excited and made up my mind to go back to Fuzhou to start my own company. At that time, I chose to invest in Fuzhou, mainly because there was a talent introduction policy in Fuzhou at that time, and our family's household registration could be implemented quickly, and children would not have trouble going to school. At present, the company is operating well. The general experience is like this, very ordinary. In the days when the post was a sensation on the Internet, I brought some touching and encouraging replies to my son every day. Later, when I saw the newspaper, I bought a newspaper and returned it to him. Now my son is in a good state of mind, unlike those days when he just came back, he is very devoted not only to football but also to everything, which makes us particularly worried. Every time his mother picks him up from school, he can be seen sitting in the corner of the noisy stairs at the school gate, doing his homework seriously, and many parents and teachers are surprised. He said that he should finish his homework quickly.
Go and watch football. ...
About Lao Rong and his son, we met online. Regarding Lao Rong and football, please see the China Football Year-end Special and Fan Laorong's Say So in today's sports edition of this newspaper.

In fact, I was moved by this newspaper and the story on the boat. Guys, are you okay now?
Chen Tong later said that there was such a post in their sports salon, which was said to be "the most famous post on the global Chinese website" (I think it was the most reprinted post at that time? ), it is their decision to launch a "competitive storm" (now Sina Sports is also the predecessor of the whole Sina News). Really, I am very pleased!

There are two main reasons why I suddenly thought of saying this today.
First, at the forum of Beijing Science and Technology Expo a few days ago, Miss Lu, the deputy editor of IT Manager World, the host of the forum and the famous host of CCTV, cooperated with each other and had this conversation with me:
Lu Binbin: If you threaten me again, I will publish your son's photo.
Wang: Children's right to privacy is also protected. Thank you.
Liu Xiangming: Let me ask you a personal question. Should Xiao Rong go to college?
Wang: He has been admitted to senior high school this year, and there are still three years before he goes to college.
Liu Xiangming: I remember when you wrote that Jinzhou didn't believe in tears, he was still eight or nine years old.
Wang: I still remember that post was written by 1997. The first sentence is: my 9-year-old son is so obsessed with football ... Oh, no, another secret has been revealed.
Secondly, an article in the latest issue of Reader mentioned this matter again.
They all made a mistake: the title of the article is not "don't believe", but "don't believe".
This is very important. I never, never shed tears. There were no tears in our family, 1997 that day. We always believe what we really believe.
Finally, I post a lyric. This is the theme song of CCTV 1998 TV series On the Road-China Football in Recent Years. It's also my first time on CCTV.
I'm too emotional around you.
My eyes wander behind you.
The warmth of the past is a little cold.
Obsessed heart is still very willing.
Is romantic love true?
Will the vows of eternal love change
Get together for many years
Accompany for many years
day by day
We met yesterday.
Meet tomorrow
Year after year.
You will always be my faithful face.
My world will always keep spring for you.
Get together for many years
Accompany for many years
day by day
We met yesterday.
Meet tomorrow
Year after year.
You will always be my emotion.
My world will always keep spring for you.
When this song was shown on TV, I remembered that there was a most famous photo in the background (1997), in which a female fan was scratching the protective net of Jinzhou Stadium (the net to prevent us from throwing things). I'm willing to throw things at them! Why do you need this nasty net? ), looking at the empty stadium, the title of the photo reminds me: no tears. Who knows who she is? Please tell me.
No tears. Just no tears. Not "don't believe". There is no such thing. So I never believed it.
Not just football.
