At the same time, the club had no real home matches for three consecutive years, which made normal operations difficult not only with the loss of matchday revenue, but also with the loss of sponsors and partners. More importantly, it has weakened its ties with the Beijing fans, the very people who make Beijing Guoan a unique team. Without fans, a soccer club is nothing.

"In the current Chinese soccer environment, in the most difficult time for the music department, to be honest, I have thought about whether or not to continue, but when I saw the love and support of so many fans for the music department, and saw the music department from the staff to the players and coaching staff, and our young players have achieved an undefeated record u21 league championship in the midst of many difficulties, and, more importantly, when the and Six years ago when I decided to increase my capital to join Guoan FC, I solemnly promised the Beijing fans. When these beautiful scenes appeared in my mind, I had no qualms or hesitation. Yes, Sino must persist and Guoan must become better. Because all of this is a responsibility that I must bear. Since I am duty-bound, I must not hesitate!
Finally, he also looked ahead to the New Year. "In the past year, there is also important good news to share with you, the construction of the new body led by Zhonghe investment will soon be completed and delivered, Zhonghe will be responsible for the operation and management of the new sports for the next 40 years, our Guoan will soon be back to their own home, from now on, the new sports and Guoan will also be a real integration of the team to run the operation, this is an important milestone, in the future, we can In the future, we can cheer together for Guoan, Beijing, and also for ourselves.
"As the New Year is approaching and Guoan FC has reached its 30th year, we will continue to follow the laws of soccer development, further improve the club's operation and management capabilities, continue to promote the development of youth training and public welfare, continue to build more connections with the city and the fans, and strive for better results while promoting the development of Chinese soccer with our own practical actions.
