I remembered the little story of the women's football team more than twenty years ago
Seeing the news today, after Xiong Xin, the captain of the Shanghai Donghua women's football team, was diagnosed with malignant melanoma of the choroidal membrane of the fundus of the left eye, because she could not afford up to 300,000 medical expenses, she had to collect love donations on the water drop chip, hoping that more people could help her. The good news is that in just a few hours, the news spread ten or ten hundred, more than 10,000 people chose to help her, and the amount of fundraising soon reached 500,000.
In order to treat the disease, the female footballers have no 300,000 life-saving money, and they need to rely on the love of the society, which shows the embarrassment of life. Over the years, the public has been numbed by the men's football team's "sky-high annual salary", millions, tens of millions are open mouths, and the stadium performance is very different, simply beyond words.
In fact, I have not watched domestic football for many years, and watched the men's football team angry, because the men's football team did not argue; watching the women's football team cry, because the women's football effort was so hopeless. And I can't help it, a scene more than twenty years ago, from time to time, I want to cry.
It was a national women's football competition, placed in the stadiums of mainland cities, because there were few local matches and the enthusiasm of fans was higher.
I went to interview, the Shanghai women's football team leader Ju received, when she was equivalent to the current water coach, but also the team's mother role. Warmly invited me and my colleagues to live in the team, she said there was an empty room, I think the compound is very large, carrying a camera out to find a hotel trouble, at that time there was no network booking, I agreed, did not expect to live a lifetime of memory.
The leader first took us to the canteen to eat, into the door a row of long tables, on top of the rectangular aluminum plate, which are all kinds of dishes, buffet dining, only there is a large basin at the door, there is a master chef holding a large spoon, a spoon for one person, heavy soy sauce to cover up the original color of the dish, I asked what this is, said to be fried chicken, I did not want, five flavors of miscellaneous Chen, the dishes in the back plate, the color is very dark, it is difficult to distinguish what things, I finally scooped a little more clear tofu, on the white rice, to solve a meal. It certainly won't be like that today, I want to talk about the persistence of the year, how difficult they were.
The room I stayed in at night was the guest house in the compound, which was probably the worst of my interviewing career in more than a decade, and I couldn't say what was missing in the room, only what was inside, an empty rectangular room, mottled gray walls, two board beds, a mat and a thin quilt, a pillow, a desk against the wall of the entrance, and nothing more. There is a big rice cooker above the desk, the leader of the ju team is stewing chicken soup, saying that it is to increase the nutrition of the women's football team, in the evening, the girls carry bowls to play chicken soup, which is the luck of the Shanghai women's football team.
We had travel expenses and wanted to go out and find a hotel again, but then we thought about it and experienced it. I discussed it with my colleagues, and one night, the staying up passed.
Because I lived in the compound, when I was walking, I met two girls from other provincial and municipal teams, forgot which team it was, for too long, only remembered a few of them, and remembered a lifetime. They said that their team was too hard, the travel expenses were done by raising money, they took the green-skinned train for a long time, they had no money after the game, where was the ticket money to go back? They don't know, they just want to come to the competition. I was shocked, what about so many people? Knowing that women's football is not easy, I did not expect it to be so difficult, more than twenty years ago, in economically underdeveloped areas, it was really not easy to raise a team.
The girl looked at me with eager eyes, I read the subtext behind this, and the TV station helped call for it? However, I am helpless because I am a TV station in Shanghai, not their local TV station, and even if I do go to report, isn't this a short one that exposes other places? Not necessarily a good outcome. At that time, the football environment was like this, women's football life was not good, even in an economically developed place like Shanghai, women's football is still sad and difficult to read every year, I know that every year at the end of the year, finding sponsorship is always the top priority. Of course, Shanghai from the Football Association to the enterprise, the women's football team is still the green light, to ensure that the women's football team is not hungry, there is money to add competition, which should also be one of the factors that Shanghai can achieve good results. Therefore, at that time, the women's football team called to ask for a report, I must arrive, especially at the end of the year, it is likely that this kind of news report has been written into the sponsorship clause by the team.
I still remember my numb feeling at that time, that feeling of powerlessness, I wanted to help, but I couldn't make it stronger, and I was also an embroidered pillow in the system, and inside I only had dedication and lack of gain, and now I think about it all in tears.
I know that the football system will always solve the ticket problem, but the coach and leader of the team will always call and ask Daddy to tell Grandma and bring home girls who like to play football.
The main body of the national team of the Women's Asian Cup is Shanghai, Jiangsu and Wuhan, but without those small club teams, without the persistence of those girls who can't play, there can be no league, no league, women's football, so the persistence of the women's football grassroots is very important.
I know that the team where a few girls are in will not have good results, let alone win the championship, the champion at that time, the Shanghai team wrapped up, but because of their persistence, there is a women's football team today, these people should now be mothers, football left them with only hard memories, blurred tears.
I don't know if they will regret their choices for their youth, and I hope not to regret them; if they regret it, there will be nothing, and the precious memories they have made with hard work will disappear. You can think about the merits in today's women's football military medal, have your own sweat, and can warm the feeling of tomorrow.
Seeing Ma Yun Alipay's support for women's football, really happy for women's football, this may be the best help for women's football, this and Ma Yun's rural teachers' public welfare action, all belong to the best public welfare, reward the hardest working people in this society, is the best correction of the society.
Life is sometimes so tangled, Ma Yun said that he does not understand football, but he has money, can directly throw money to support, women's football benefits immediately; I think I know football very well, write small essays, traffic is not seen.
The wind does not move, the leaves do not move; the wind is too strong, and the tree can be uprooted.
The heart and the heart do not move, in fact, it seems to be similar, the wind is the reality that must be faced.
