As the Spring Festival approaches, it has certainly been a year of ups and downs and ups and downs for the Chinese soccer world in 2023. The performance of the Chinese men's soccer team has left many fans disheartened. Meanwhile, Wuhan Three Town Football Club managed to lift the Chinese Super League trophy with a bang, against the backdrop of attacks on the Football Association. Coach Li Tie's accidental arrest during the World Cup in Qatar added to the year's soccer news. Guangzhou Evergrande Football Club was relegated, marking the end of the era of gold dollar soccer. However, in the midst of all this gloom, the Chinese women's soccer team brought long overdue joy to its fans at the Asian Cup in the Spring Festival of the Year of the Tiger.
Today, we should not focus only on the Chinese men's soccer team, which seems to have lost the glory of the national soccer team. In contrast, the Chinese women's national soccer team has won dignity for the country. For a long time, they have been quietly dedicating themselves to the low salary, but they have won the respect by their performance which is far more than that of the men's soccer team. They, with the national sentiment, sense of honor, and care for their compatriots in their hearts, constitute the other side of Chinese soccer.
While many women's soccer players do not earn a lot of money, they do not hesitate to lend a helping hand to their fellow countrymen in their time of need. During the epidemic, Wang Frost and other female soccer players generously donated 600,000 yuan, making it the highest donation among national soccer teams. It is important to know that Wang Frost's annual salary is not high, about 1 million yuan, while male soccer stars can easily earn millions of dollars a year.
Wang Frost's act of kindness reflects the extraordinary quality of Chinese women's soccer: they are willing to donate their wealth at a difficult time for the country. This may be the reason why the women's soccer team has been able to achieve excellent results even though its conditions are not as good as the men's. In the final of the Asian Cup, facing South Korea's backward situation, the women's soccer girls fought tenaciously; in the semi-final, although the overall strength is not as good as the Japanese team, but they are still for the motherland and the honor of the fight, this patriotism is admirable.
