According to many sources, at 22:35 on December 24, 2019, the well-known poet, writer, veteran of Beijing Youth Daily, and famous football critic Daxian passed away at the age of 60. Brother Qi, Li Chengpeng, actor Ke Lan and other friends in the circle have mourned on social platforms.
Born in Beijing on November 14, 1959, Daxian graduated from the first department of Chinese of Beijing Radio and Television University, with representative works such as "Beijing's Golden Mountain", "A Knife Cannot Be Broken In Two", "The First Half of Life and the Second Half of the Night", and the sports commentary collection "Hugh and Other Heroes Late Twilight". Daisen has more than 1.46 million followers on Weibo.
Upon learning the bad news of Daxian's death, commentator Li Chengpeng said: "I am very sad. Bai Guohua, a well-known football journalist, said: "When I was a child, I remembered his football reviews vividly when I read the football newspaper. The phrase "Ian Rush is Shakespeare's fifth greatest tragedy" has been a phrase I've loved all my life. Seniors, go well ”
For Chinese football and Chinese sports, Daxian's remarks are very sharp, often pinning down the shortcomings of the times. He is good at combining martial arts novels, modern poetry and popular lyrics, with a unique style, which opens up the trend of Beijing school criticism.
In 2007, he blogged that Chinese football had become a dog, either biting or being bitten. Recalling the 50-year history of Chinese football impacting the World Cup, especially the changes after the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup, he said: "Change the time, change the experience, calmly qualify, think that things can be moved." The money you spent, let me look through, money laundering shop, only to find that you did not change at all. It is now 2007, 50 years of Chinese football. Football has become a dog, either biting or being bitten. So, there is no interest in ya. ”
In late 2007, he also published an article in the Sports Weekly column, arguing that football would not become the number one sport in China. "Football is in China, it's a jerk." "Maybe in terms of commercialization and audience, football is still the first sport, but in terms of performance, you don't deserve to be a sport."
Daxian is extremely disappointed in Chinese football, and has repeatedly said on Weibo that he has long stopped watching Chinese football.
