Shen Si, once wearing the No. 14 shirt, galloped on the green field, was good at left-foot set-pieces, and was once considered by many professionals to represent the highest level of domestic free kicks at that time. Shen Si has won the A League championship, the National Football Association Cup, the National Super League Championship, the world free kick masters runner-up, and has served as the captain of the Chinese Olympic team and the head coach of the Shanghai Zhongbang team.

In 2006, Shen Si and a number of friends who love football founded lucky star football club, with youth football training as its mission, the purpose is to inherit the old Shanghai football style, pay attention to technology, pay attention to control, pay attention to passing, highlight personal ability, give football tops more free space. Shen Si said:

Since to do a thing, we must do perfection to the extreme, why don't we set the goal a little higher? The dream of "the children of the lucky stars one day standing on the stage of Europe's five major leagues" is not out of reach, as long as you sink your heart and do it seriously, it can be realized.

It is reported that as the official reading club of minhang district library, since its establishment ten years ago, it has held more than 200 reading activities, and the main speakers have spread throughout various fields and industries, including academicians, scholars, writers, actors, scientists and artists. Why did you invite professional footballers to lecture? Sun Ying, deputy research librarian of the Minhang District Library and head of the Min reading association, told reporters:

Recently, the European Championship has just ended, from the wonderful football competition to invite football players to teach a reading event; moreover, it is currently in the summer, I hope to organize students and parents to listen to sports quality education, and Shen Si is a football player who likes to read very much, and it should be interesting for him to be the guest speaker.

For Shen Si, who has never walked into a large library to give a reading lecture, this will also be the first reading sharing activity in his life. Shen Si, a graduate of Fudan University majoring in journalism and communication, once dreamed of becoming a professional football commentator, published an autobiography "Between the Goals", and after the book was published, he also participated in a "non-writer" writing group with the host Cao Kefan and Hejing.

Between the Goals, by Shen Si (Hanyu Da Dictionary Publishing House, 2002)

Shen Si has loved to read since he was a child, and Dumas, Stendhal, Scott, Zola, Maugham, and Hardy are all his favorite writers, especially every time he reads "The Count of Monte Cristo", the legendary experience and happy revenge of the protagonist Edmund Duntis will make him excited. The film "The Shawshank Redemption" gives him the same shock, and the scene where Edmund Duntis escapes from a sack and Tim Robbins climbs out of the sewer pipe outlet is so similar that it is touching.

Shen Si also loves music, and he has recommended five of his favorite records in magazines: Bee Gees Brothers "Select", Santana "Selection", "Selection" of The Doors, "Guns and Roses" "Live Selection", and "Mezzanine". Reading and music have been with Shen Si for many years.
