On April 19, 2023, Beijing time, a former Luneng youth star player passed away at the age of 25, the player's name is Wang Ruiqi. Before 2020, he was deeply loved by Hao Wei, and was selected for national teams at various levels many times, and once served as the starting lineup of the national Olympic team many times in 2019, playing in the back position. Then, Wang Ruiqi was reportedly expelled from the club for going out drinking with another player. After that, Wang Ruiqi, a native of Anhui, joined the Chinese championship team Hefei City Team. There is no more progress on the reasons for suicide, but it is certain that it cannot be opened.
But the doubt came, judging from the following "group chat record", this is called "Luneng Taishan Fan Association 2 Group" clearly said that Wang Ruiqi did not want to jump off the building. It also clarified that he had previously been expelled from the club for going out drinking. In addition, and more importantly, the chat room shown in this screenshot is at 12:05 noon on March 15, 2023, which means that at this point in time, the person who spoke learned that Wang Ruiqi had passed away.
However, it is now late April, and more than a month has passed, so why is there no wind and grass here? And I also specifically checked the "Hefei City" team, and there was no official announcement of the death of the player, which is not reasonable. Although it is only a championship team, in order to express the respect of "the dead are big", as a player of the club, it should also officially release a eulogy, but the club did not do this. This shows that there must be some special considerations in it.
In fact, as a city of Hefei, there does not seem to be anything, and the cost of operating the club itself is not particularly high. But in March, it happened to be the time for the club to enter. Moreover, if what is said in that chat record is true, that is: Wang Ruiqi jumped off the building because of stress, then why is it stressful? It is estimated that it has to do with money. Therefore, his jumping on that stall will definitely become a big earthquake in Chinese football.
Including that time, Du Zhaocai had just been taken away for investigation, and then came to jump off a building to commit suicide, which must be very unfavorable to the public opinion orientation of Chinese football. All in all, although Wang Ruiqi's death was his own suicide, the responsibility of socialization will trigger some thinking. Therefore, it is understandable that his death was only revealed more than a month later.
Finally, may the deceased rest in peace!
