A 39-year-old die-hard fan suddenly fell ill
Yang Xue, 39, is a die-hard fan of Beijing Guoan, and she was one of the members of the official establishment of the fan group "Royal Forest Army" in 2005. Over the years, she has been frequently present in the home and away games of the Guoan team, and won the Guoan "Fan Attendance Award" in 2023. Yang Xue's husband, Mr. Zhang, works in sports services, and the couple often go to the scene together to watch the games and cheer for Guoan.
At the beginning of this year, the two also went to Qatar to watch the Asian Cup. No one expected that at that time, the disease had quietly come to Yang Xue's side and suddenly attacked her.
According to Mr. Zhang, after the Spring Festival this year, Yang Xue felt backache and went to the hospital to check the results of multiple departments. On March 10, Yang Xue also went to Jinan to cheer for Guoan's away game.
On March 12, Yang Xue was re-examined and found a tumor in her body, but many hospitals were unable to identify the type of pathology and could not formulate a treatment plan. It was not until March 29 that she was diagnosed with high-malignant neuroendocrine small cell carcinoma, which was also induced by squamous cell carcinoma, with dual-track concurrent and multiple metastases, and showed signs of respiratory failure.
It was only 4 days from diagnosis to death
After hearing the news of Yang Xue's illness, the Guoan Club and fans gave her encouragement and support. In the Chinese Super League on March 30, after Guoan defeated Wuhan Three Towns 1-0 away, the players held up the jersey with the words "Yang Xue come on" to pray for her. Abreu told the media after the game that it was the most beautiful goal of his career, "I hope to dedicate it to that fan (Yang Xue), we will go all the way, I hope she recovers soon." ”
Everyone's blessings did not stop the Grim Reaper. On the evening of April 2, Mr. Zhang released an obituary, saying that in the afternoon of the same day, Yang Xue left the world she loved. At this time, it was only 4 days before she was diagnosed.
Mr. Zhang said that in the last moments of her life, Yang Xue was very brave and strong, including the game of the Guoan team, the team's post-match interview, and many messages from friends and strangers.
After Yang Xue's death, Yang Liyu, a national security player, posted a message of condolences on social media: "May the stars light up and illuminate the door of Gongti's home, so that your beautiful soul can always find its way home." Player Fang Hao distributed a group photo of him giving Yang Xue a full attendance award last year, writing: "May heaven be free of illness and be peaceful in the next life." ”

Her seat will be permanently mothballed
It is reported that Zhou Jinhui, chairman of the Guoan Club, said that Yang Xue's seat at the home stadium of the Guoan Gongti will be permanently retained. On April 4, Li Ming, general manager of the Guoan Club, confirmed the matter to reporters.
Li Ming said that the home season ticket purchased by Yang Xue in recent years is a fixed seat, and whether the Gongti will hold a competition, a concert or other activities in the future, the tickets for this position will be sealed and will not be sold to the outside world, in order to express her memory. At present, this seat has been sprayed with the "snowflake" logo symbolizing Yang Xue, and it will be further processed in the future.
Li Ming introduced that Yang Xue is one of the founders of the "Royal Forest Army" fan association, and over the years, whether home or away, she will support the Guoan team on the spot, rain or shine, and is also very enthusiastic about the team's affairs. In the past 20 years, she has grown from a little girl to a fan leader, and has a strong charisma among Beijing fans. In addition, she is very close to some of the players and I often see her on the pitch to see if she can help the team and the fans. Although she has her own job, she has been doing these things quietly. ”
"The heritage and achievements of Guoan come from the fans, and the fans are our wealth. We respect our fans and every fan is like our family. Sealing Yang Xue's seat is a decision made by our chairman. Li Ming said.
On the evening of April 5, Beijing Guoan will face Shanghai Port in Gongti, and fans have prepared some activities to mourn Yang Xue. Li Ming said that the club will also have some commemorative acts in the future, but there will be no major activities, "We don't want to disturb her too much, let her go quietly." ”
