As the Asian Games journey draws to a close, Du Jianxiang, the Chinese men's soccer team's resident interpreter, reveals his thoughts on social media platforms, a memoir that recounts the two years he spent with the team, while pouring out his eager anticipation for the future of Chinese soccer.
Facing a 0-2 defeat in the quarterfinals, Du Jianxiang witnessed the team's mission come to an abrupt end. With the disbanding of the Hangzhou base, Du Jianxiang delivered his heartfelt words on the internet with a heartfelt summary:
Looking back, the two years of fighting side by side with the team, every encounter in Hangzhou camp, every day and night of suffering together, every player's figure, every comrade fighting side by side! They are a group of resilient and united brothers, no matter what challenges they encounter! I also hope that every one of you, in the years to come, will maintain that optimism, actively embrace the existing vitality, and bravely pursue your dreams and goals! May the fans give more love and encouragement to soccer instead of indifference and bad words.
I would like to express my deepest gratitude and care to all the players, coaches and those dear comrades! My career as an interpreter is coming to an end, but please look forward to the day when I return and we renew our relationship!
