Vol 2 Chapter 269: Pearlless Crown (End: Sea of Tears)

The whistle at the end of the game did not activate the arena as usual, but instead put the arena into a quiet state. If you just turn on the TV, you can't even tell who is the winner. The Chinese team members suddenly fell to the ground, while the Turks hurried away in shame. They knew they were too lucky and too shameful.
The silent command cameras of the commentators of various countries aimed at the Chinese team's bench, aimed at the 13th player who made the Chinese team's achievements today, and also left the field at the last minute and left the team.
In the camera lens, on the bench of the dead Chinese team, everyone was a blank and sad expression. In the arms of Ma Mingyu, the Chinese teenager was covering his face with both hands, and tears flowed freely between the fingers and wet. With his arms, he also wet the old captain's dry jacket.
When this scene was put on the big screen, put into the camera lens of various countries around the world, and presented on the TV screen, the tears that have been stunned in people's eyes, seemingly wild, host, guests and national fans in the live broadcast room Same, silently wiping tears.
Wang Ai finally walked around Ma Mingyu and Milu and walked towards the player channel in the siege of the international players. No one saw the expression of Wang Ai at this time. In this World Cup, the last shot of the world team ’s highly watched young talent star Wang Ai was left to the world.
The next day, Sports Illustrated published the article "Sea of ​​Tears" under the headline of the hurdle, selected this photo as the cover, and then took a snapshot of the tears of fans in various squares across the country. The article commented: At this moment, all of China was crying. Not only was it lost for the game, but the Chinese team did not go any further and regretted it. It was also the dedication, steadfastness and loyalty of the young player Wang Ai.
Similarly, this scene was photographed by an Associated Press reporter and named "Sadness" by a photojournalist, triggering widespread reprint in Western media.
Even FIFA has chosen it to be included in the classic scene of this World Cup, named "Teen's Tears"
Also on the second day, China ’s most important heavyweight official media, People ’s Daily, named the photo
Loyalty
and named the photo of Wang Ai sitting on Fan Zhiyi ’s shoulder after celebrating victory over Costa Rica. The commentator accompanies a commentary article entitled "A Letter to the Chinese National Men's Football Team": "After experiencing the comfort of defeating Costa Rica and the surprise of tying Brazil, it gives us hope of qualifying for the World Cup team. The team unexpectedly harvested a defeat yesterday. Although this is only the only defeat in our group stage, we cannot hope that Brazil will lose to Costa Rica, which is far less powerful and has been eliminated, in the final group stage. Although the Chinese team ’s first World Cup journey ended regretfully, we are glad to see the progress of the Chinese team. Ma Mingyu, Hao Haidong and other old players are responsible and tenacious, and young players such as Qu Bo and Dewey have assumed the main responsibility. At the same time, a new generation of football players such as Wang Ai, who are excellent in technology, not afraid of strong opponents, courageous to challenge and dare to bear, has emerged. The high praise of international media and football colleagues is sufficient to prove that we have achieved nothing. Said: Chinese football has great prospects and unlimited hopes. We believe that over time, partners With the growth of a new generation of players, they will definitely bring us endless joy. Finally, all of our comrades in the editorial department and on behalf of the national fans said a word about the 'Unstoppable China 13' engraved in the ward: Dr. Wang, please Get well soon! "
Wang Ai read this letter in the brain ward of Liaoyang Central Hospital.
Immediately after the game yesterday, Ai Xiaoqing rushed down the VIP seat and went straight to the Chinese team's locker room. He forced Nanyong to take a vacation with grief, and Nanyong let go without saying a word. Ai Xiaoqing asked Sun Yi and Jonas to temporarily take Wang Ai's rented car outside the stadium and gallop all the way to Seoul Airport. Due to the large number of people from the four major system companies to watch the game, Ai Xiaoqing ordered Wang Bin to temporarily charter a small aircraft for use as a special aircraft through China Civil Aviation. At this time, Ai Xiaoqing couldn't care whether the others had packed their luggage, and it was a top priority to send her son to the hospital for examination, although the team doctor of the Chinese team told her with certainty that it was only a slight concussion.
In the car, Ai Xiaoqing asked his son who was still crying, "Where do you want to go?"
Wang Ai answered hoarsely, "Go home, I want to go home."
It's like the first choice after a wild beast is injured is to go back to the small nest and lick the wound.
As a result, the wayward Ai Xiaoqing refused to contact Xu Genbao's Shanghai Fudan University Affiliated Hospital, Wang Hongli and other affiliated hospitals of China Medical University, Gao Hongbo's Peking Union Medical College Hospital, etc., and the plane flew directly to Shenyang Taoxian Airport. After getting off the plane, he returned to Liaoyang directly under the of the overtaking group's convoy that had been on standby for a long time. After waiting for more than two hours to set foot on the land of his hometown, Wang Ai seemed to have a sigh of relief and fell asleep drowsily.
The next day, Wang Ai woke up in the ward to the first rising sun. In the quiet ward, he first saw Huang Xin, who was sleeping on the bedside table, and Ai, who was lying in a kimono on the other side. Xiaoqing.
As soon as Wang Ai moved, the two woke up immediately.
"How?" The two said in unison.
Wang Ai looked at the tired look of the two and laughed, "It's okay, I'm planning to go out for morning exercises."
Ai Xiaoqing carefully observed the look of Wang Ai and was relieved when he found that it was all right: "No, you must take a good rest today. The doctor said that although your condition is not serious, you still need to observe in case you exercise Time to fall again! "
Wang Ai's expression was struggling, and he didn't want to lie on the bed like this.
Ai Xiaoqing had to change his tone: "Listen to mom, can you do it all day? You say you want to go to school, mom lets you go, you say you want to play football, mom lets you kick, you say you want When you go abroad, my mother will send you away. You said that our family, as well as the three of us, will never see you a few times a year. Just today, stay with my mother, okay? "
"Okay, mother, but you can't let me lie all the time. I lie uncomfortable. I promise not to go out?"
After speaking, Wang Ai sat up as soon as she turned over, scaring the two.
Ai Xiaoqing couldn't help complaining: "Son, what do you say you ca n’t do, you have to play football? You and my dad are just one of you. You ca n’t spend the money at home. You said that you were nervous when you were a kid. It ’s okay. You ’re so old now, and your Ph.D. is about to graduate. Shall we not play it? At that time, I never thought you would just play around, but one day I can still enter the country. Team! I thought you should be satisfied when you bought a football team in Germany and then bought Liaoning Football. The football team is all yours. Just let them play with you. It ’s so dangerous. Ca n’t you make it? Really? We can spend more money to invite two players to play in the national team. Otherwise, we will raise their wages so that they can practice well. If not, let ’s give Xu Gui a little more money and open more football schools. , How can there be so many people in China without you? "
Wang Ai bowed her head and listened to Ai Xiaoqing when she finished speaking. She sighed and found a letter from her shoulder bag and handed it to Ai Xiaoqing.
Ai Xiaoqing unfolded and read that the postmark was a letter from a student in a mountainous elementary school in Dujiangyan, Sichuan. The date should have been written after the Chinese team won Costa Rica in the first match. At that time, the Chinese national team in Korea received countless national fans after winning the game. The gifts and letters were sent to the Hyatt Hotel along with the fan organization rushing to cheer. Zhu Heyuan picked and picked, and the letter was fortunately in Wang Ai's hands.
"Dear brother Ai Wang, hello:
My home is in the mountains and my studies are very busy. The teacher never lets us play.
The playground of our school is very small. The two blue (blue) courts are so large that they cannot play the ball, especially after I broke the glass of the principal's room last year.
Since you won the Big Brother Fence (Costa Rica), the teacher called, let us learn from you and say that you are good at learning and playing football.
Our principal is stingy, always toutou watching TV in the conference room. Let's watch it together this time. After watching our game, he didn't scold us. Brother Ai Wang, how many more games can you play? I want to watch more TV, I want to finish (play) more balls.
This is only (to) salute. Xiaozheng Huarong Aimin Elementary School in Dujiangyan has a three-year class of Tang Zhen. June 5, 2002. "
