On September 8, Paulinho, a Brazilian midfielder superstar in his prime and former Guangzhou Evergrande foreign player, officially hung up his boots. When referring to Paulinho, veteran media personality Chen Ning compared him to an all-powerful supercar. In the five years he spent with Guangzhou, Paulinho's every game was like a dream journey that people can recall.

Chen Ning further depicted in the article, "Paulinho is like the omnipotent supercar in Guangzhou. Despite his outstanding strength in the team, he has no arrogance and has overcome one challenge after another with his teammates. It's rare to see such a foreigner!"

In his farewell video, Paulinho expressed his gratitude to the six clubs he has played for. For me personally, the three clubs, Corinthians, Guangzhou Evergrande and Barcelona, are undoubtedly the ones that have made him feel the most profoundly. During his five years in Guangzhou, every game was like a dream, unforgettable.

The most satisfying thing for me is that I have a Paulinho jersey in my collection. It was in the final round of the 2018 Chinese Super League, when Guangzhou Evergrande beat Tianjin Teda 5-1. Immediately after the match, my good friend asked me for this jersey. My good friend told me that he was not the only one of his teammates who wanted it at that time, but fortunately I grabbed it first, and I can't express my gratitude enough.
