In the wave of social media, Du Jianxiang, a senior interpreter for the Chinese men's Asian Games team, recorded the two years he spent with the team in words, revealing his love for soccer and his call to the fans between the lines.
Facing a 0-2 loss in the quarterfinals, Du Jianxiang's words seemed to be a response to fate as he wrote: "Two years, from the initial assembly in Hangzhou to the comrades we are now living together, every moment is engraved in our hearts. We are a group of good brothers who defy difficulties and unite as one!"
He went on to express his expectations for the future: "May we all embrace optimism, remain energized and bravely pursue our dreams in the days ahead. And the support and encouragement of the fans is far more powerful than the mockery and abuse. [bowing]
