This kind of love is transmitted in the touch

"In the future, if your son wants to play football, I will try to make him a good player." Recently, the national football coach Li Tie made a promise in the video.

The "you" mentioned by Li Tie is named Jing Yongxing. The reason why Li Tie made a promise was because he was touched by Jing Yongxing's deeds.

Jing Yongxing is a football fan and a grassroots football coach who specializes in teaching children to play football. He is also a cancer patient, 7 years ago, when only 29 years old Jing Yongxing was diagnosed with stomach cancer, after surgery, the condition is still not optimistic, "can live for 3 years, may be a miracle." ”

Faced with the life of not knowing how much time is left, Jing Yongxing decided to do one thing: teach his children to play football. He opened an amateur football club in Yanjiao, Hebei Province, obtained professional coaching qualifications, led team members to train and play games on weekends, participated in public welfare volunteer teaching, and filled Jing Yongxing's life with football. Fate showed him a cruel side, but he faced it calmly, and even the colleagues around him and the children of the club did not know that he had cancer.

In the race against life, Jing Yongxing raced against the clock to deliver bit by bit to his beloved football. Football also gave Jing Yongxing the strength to help him dispel the haze in his heart and bravely fight against the disease. "Life kisses me with pain, but I sing in return." It is this love of football that shines in Jing Yongxing and ripples in the hearts of others.

After Jing Yongxing's deeds were reported by the media, many people were moved, hoping to do something for the grassroots football coach. Li Tie recorded a video for Jing Yongxing, promising to teach his son to play football and seeing him as a "role model for football practitioners". Yu Dabao and other national footballers also sent him blessings on social media. These warm responses are not only the understanding and praise of footballers, but also the transmission of faith. When footballers in every position strive to do their jobs well, Chinese football will surely harvest a better future.

Due to his worsening illness, Jing Yongxing dissolved the club, and although his coaching career pressed the pause button, the football dream he sowed will continue. A parent who sent his child to play football said that Jing Yongxing not only taught his children to play football, but also taught his children how to behave. At the end of May, the children who learned of the coach's illness visited Jing Yongxing. Whether it is the training ground of the past or the life of the present, whether it is football technology or the principle of being a person, these children have learned a lot in Jing Yongxing's words and deeds. In the future, I believe that they will also carry this spiritual strength, not afraid of wind and rain, and carry the weight forward.
