On November 7, when China's soccer player Wu Lei was playing for Espanyol, he accidentally revealed a video of his "mystery tour" at the mansion of Hollywood actor Cao Cao (Jonathan Kos-Read). The "first look" video sparked a lot of discussion on Weibo. Although Wu Lei regretted not being able to return home for the two upcoming home games, he emphasized that no matter what the external conditions are, it is crucial to go all out against the opponents.
Cao Cao, a native American, has made a name for himself in the Chinese film industry with his fluent Mandarin and has been granted permanent residency as a foreigner. He makes his home with his family in Barcelona and recently invited Wu Lei to be his guest. Wu Lei revealed that although Barcelona is small, he can walk to Cao Cao's house in just one minute.
Cao Cao warmly welcomed Wu Lei to taste the authentic Chinese hot pot, which Wu Lei laughed that Cao Cao specially carried from Beijing. Talking about his life abroad, Wu Lei lamented, "Before I went abroad, I thought I could adapt to foreign life, but when I really went abroad without my family, I realized how much I need them. Even if my family says or scolds me twice, I feel comfortable. I wanted to play soccer abroad for a long time. Here, there are good times and bad times. At first it went well, but Spain is full of young players, and the slightest slacking off will result in elimination. One game of our (professional) career and we're either hailed to the skies or a few days later it's the end of the world. After a lot of experience, I have peace in my heart and that's it."
Wu Lei also said on microblogging, "will soon depart for Sharjah, although the next two home games still can not return to the country, really miss our home and fans and friends, but regardless of the objective factors, the most important thing is that we have to go all out to face the opponent."
