" The rainy season when I was seventeen, remembering bits and pieces of my childhood "

Remember your 17th?

What was your dream when you were 17?

At this flowery age

A 17-year-old girl witnesses youth at its best

"My name is Xiong Xi. I'm 17 years old and I'm a soccer player."

In the first round of the 2017 All-Comers Youth Women's Soccer Preliminaries

Shandong women's soccer team hosts Guangdong women's soccer team who came from afar

The two teams exchanged goals in the first half and played into injury time in the second half

Both teams still haven't scored a single goal

Just when everyone thought the game would end in a draw

In the final 20 seconds, the GD women's soccer team was able to get on the board with a pass that looked like a shot on goal

He lifted the ball directly into the goal to complete the shutout.

And it was the 17-year-old Cubby Hee who finished off the shot

Who would have thought?

Born in 1999, Xiong Xi has been playing soccer for 10 years since he was 8 years old.

Two years earlier

She has already been selected to join the U15 team of the Chinese women's soccer team.

And competed in the Nanjing Youth Olympic Games

Because Dad loves soccer.

As a child, Xiong Xi was treated like a boy and played soccer.

I grew up training and playing with the men's soccer team.

As she practiced, she fell in love with soccer.

As a high school student, she was going to school and training at the same time.

Soccer has become a big part of her life.

As a kid, Xiong Xi's favorite was Han Duan of the Nationals.

Han Duan in the No. 9 jersey is atmospheric and dashing

Hee's first soccer idol.

Her soccer dream is to wear the national team uniform and compete for her country just like Han Duan.

Xiong Xi as an athlete

You can't just eat a girl's favorite snack for a dope test.

I've been training even on vacation.

Sometimes I envy other girls.

You can travel and eat good food

But she's still convinced

If I had to do it all over again, I'd do it all over again.

Like a girl of that age.

Xiong Xi loves beauty too.

When he's not training, he likes to hang out with his teammates and take selfies.

She's especially cheerful in life.

I like to put a smile on my face as often as I do in the photos.

This year, Cubby Hee will take the high school entrance exam as a special enrollment for soccer

First choice is women's soccer powerhouse NDSU

In August, she will also play with the Guangdong team in the final stage of the women's U18 soccer tournament

And the final result of this all-conference

Could very well shape this girl's soccer trajectory

Is it getting into the first team of soccer? Or do you choose to study?

The future holds countless possibilities for Cubby.

The only thing that won't change is

To the soccer that has persisted until now

She'll never give up.

Whether it's going pro and becoming a blossoming rose...

Or do you want to go to school?

We all wish Cubby Hee good luck!
