This is a former Chinese international Zhao Mingjian in a live show revealed how low his cultural level is, Zhao Mingjian said that he doesn't know a lot of words, can only write his own name, and sign the contract by looking at the amount of this page, so he signed behind his name.
So what kind of international player is Zhao Mingjian, and why does he pay so little attention to his cultural reserves?
What is the cultural reserve of Chinese football players, and why is Zhao Mingjian so representative?
One issue and one signature.
Did Zhao Mingjian really not pay attention to his cultural reserves?
How did he stick to the professional arena without cultural reserves?
Zhao Mingjian was born on August 9, 1975 in Zhengzhou, Henan Province, born in a rural family, his parents are farmers, at that time was in the period of agricultural land construction, and there was an elder brother in the family.
Zhao Mingjian's elder brother was sent by his parents to work in other places to make money when Zhao Mingjian was very young, because of his family's poverty, and Zhao Mingjian was also poor because of his family's constraints, so when Zhao Mingjian was in elementary school, Zhao Mingjian's parents had no money for Zhao Mingjian to go to school, so Zhao Mingjian dropped out of primary school after only half a year.
After Zhao Mingjian dropped out of school, because there was no middle school exam at that time, he had no way to go to school, so he could only work in the fields with his parents.
When Zhao Mingjian was at home, looking at his hard-working parents, he also wanted to help his family as much as he could, so he helped his parents share the labor when Zhao Mingjian was very young, but because Zhao Mingjian was still young, he couldn't help much.
But then Zhao Mingjian still insisted on the work of going out early and returning late every day, until nightfall, and this kind of work persisted until he was 13 years old, this year, his brother went home, but after Zhao Mingjian's brother came back, he still didn't have much money.
Parents wanted to find a job for Zhao Mingjian's brother as soon as possible, but after finding a job, Zhao Mingjian's brother was sent to Beijing by the unit to work, and Zhao Mingjian's brother, who worked in Beijing, could get a salary of 200 yuan every month, and at that time, such a salary was already very high.
Zhao Mingjian's brother can get so much money every month, so he helps the family, and the family's life is getting better and better.
During this period, Zhao Mingjian's brother often brought Zhao Mingjian some things in Beijing at home, at that time it was in the development period of Chinese football, Zhao Mingjian's brother liked to watch football, and he often watched the games of the Beijing team, he felt that the Beijing team played very well, so he took Zhao Mingjian to watch the games of the Beijing team together.
After they watched the game, his brother would teach Zhao Mingjian some football knowledge, and his brother also wanted to see his younger brother playing on the Beijing team's lawn, so he often took Zhao Mingjian everywhere to play.
It was under such circumstances that Zhao Mingjian came into contact with football, and after he continued to practice, his football skills were also very good, so at the age of fourteen, he played at the local sports school.
The football life in the sports school has also experienced 5 years, but in these 5 years, he will only have less than 300 yuan of living expenses, but his family has to give him 500 yuan of living expenses every month, but his teacher will often find trouble with Zhao Mingjian, saying that his living expenses there are not enough, but Zhao Mingjian will save all the money in his hand in order to reduce the burden on his family, but in the end it is still not enough.
So when Zhao Mingjian was 16 years old, he decided to leave his hometown and go to Beijing to develop, although Zhao Mingjian's parents were not very worried that Zhao Mingjian was working hard in other places, but Zhao Mingjian still secretly left his hometown and went to Beijing.
When he was in Beijing, he was looking for a job everywhere alone, but because he had no education, he could only find some heavy physical work, but when he was in Beijing, he did not give up playing football, he would still look for social teams everywhere in his spare time, participate in competitions, and earn some extra money in the game.
In such a situation, Zhao Mingjian was later discovered, he was in Jianye's youth academy at the time, and the coach found that his playing skills were very good, so he invited him to join the academy, and Zhao Mingjian did not refuse at that time and joined Jianye's academy.
After joining the academy, Zhao Mingjian's football skills gradually became more professional and excellent under the guidance of the coach, so when he was only 17 years old, he was favored by Jianye Club, so he signed his first professional contract.
When signing the contract, Zhao Mingjian didn't read too much, just looked at the first few pages to make sure that there was no name on it, and when he saw his name, he signed, and he didn't read the content behind, which is why he didn't know the words, and only wrote his name.
After Zhao Mingjian played for Jianye for a year, because Chinese football was at a low point, Camacho, the national football coach at the time, also watched Zhao Mingjian's games many times, and then called Zhao Mingjian to the national team, but because Zhao Mingjian lacked experience in international competitions, Camacho never called Zhao Mingjian again after several warm-up games.
But after Camacho left, the coach of the national football team also changed several times, but Zhao Mingjian was not among them, until 2014, the Chinese Football Association invited Lippi, but after Lippi coached the national football team, he summoned Zhao Mingjian again, and Zhao Mingjian also followed the national team to participate in the 2018 World Cup qualifiers.
But during this period, Zhao Mingjian also played in the Chinese Super League for many seasons, but because he has not participated in the World Cup, Zhao Mingjian officially retired from the national team after the last warm-up game before the World Cup.
But after retiring, Zhao Mingjian still did not give up playing, he played in Foshan in the Chinese League for many years, and now the 36-year-old Zhao Mingjian is still active in the Chinese League, but this does not mean that he is still trying to make money.
When Zhao Mingjian first came to Foshan to play, he was still a hot-blooded young man, he hoped to play football to his best, and also hoped to be able to pass on his experience to the young players around him, but as he grew older, Zhao Mingjian also felt pain in his body, so when he was 36 years old, his knee was not very good.
At the age of 36, Zhao Mingjian didn't think about how long he would last in the professional arena, but he still insisted, not to make money, but to play football.
Until some time ago, a live broadcast program invited Zhao Mingjian, Zhao Mingjian said in an interview that his cultural level is not as good as others, he said that he doesn't know a lot of words, he can only write his own name, and he has to ask his teammates to help fill in the information when he goes to the bank.
The cultural reserve of Chinese football players is not taken seriously.
Zhao Mingjian's words also made people think that Chinese football players are like this?
Indeed, Chinese football players now represent the image of Chinese football, and as professional athletes, they must not only contribute to their professional quality, but also pay attention to their own cultural quality.
But in reality, Chinese footballers do not pay attention to cultural reserves, Zhao Mingjian is one of them, and some players may go a little more excessively, and even his name cannot be written.
And how did Zhao Mingjian persist in the professional arena without a cultural level?
It's as much about the times as it is about yourself.
Zhao Mingjian was born in the initial stage of Chinese football, when football was not taken seriously, so Zhao Mingjian did not receive a lot of education, and he only went to primary school for half a year, so Zhao Mingjian did not pay attention to his cultural reserves, until he grew up, he did not understand the importance of cultural reserves.
But before he understood, Zhao Mingjian also made a lot of money in the professional arena, so he didn't think that he couldn't write, so he didn't think that it would bring a lot of trouble to his later life.
But after he understood this, he felt ashamed, so he was reluctant to ask others for advice, so he could only ask his teammates for help.
Chinese footballers need higher quality.
The cultural reserve of Chinese football players is insufficient, not only Zhao Mingjian, but also many players.
In this regard, the Chinese Football Association needs to educate, but in the case that the Chinese Football Association does not pay attention to it, some football players will not pay attention to it.
But now, with the development of Chinese football, more and more attention is being paid to it, so among the current players, there are also many players who attach importance to their cultural reserves.
But there are still some players who don't pay attention to it, so Zhao Mingjian also represents this phenomenon.
Therefore, in an interview, Zhao Mingjian also reminded young players not to repeat the mistakes of the past, and at the same time to pay attention to playing football while reserving cultural knowledge, improve personal quality, and leave a good impression on Chinese football.
epilogue
Zhao Mingjian is one of the most lacking cultural reserves among Chinese football players, but his experience is also the most bumpy among Chinese football players, and it is also worthy of admiration.
Therefore, the Chinese football community needs to establish a more perfect education system to cultivate outstanding players who are not only outstanding on the football field, but also have a certain foundation in cultural literacy.
