One of the wishes he made during the season was that one day people would no longer call him "Xie Yuxin's son", but rather call Xie Yuxin "Xie Weijun's father", although he felt that realizing his wish was still a long way off.

I remember one time when I was on a high speed train, I happened to sit next to director Yu and watched a whole game with him.

Of course it's improved, gradually entering the middle generation, no one looks at you as a small player, the mentality has to be mature and the ability to be more mature. To reach this point, you need to put in sweat and effort every day, not a starter to fight for the starter, to compete for more game opportunities.

China Super League (soccer league)
During the season, you said you hoped that in the future people would call your father "Xie Weijun's father" instead of always referring to you as "Xie Yuxin's son", how far do you think you are from that day?
