Great Green Wall

In 1936, the turf of the Berlin Olympics was still stained with the blood of Chinese players. Li Huitang brought the foot skills he learned with grapefruit, Chen Zhenhe carried the rubber ball picked up from the Nanyang pier, and Tan Jiangbai carried the toughness brought by the nickname "Bronze Head" - 22 teenagers from all over the world traveled across the ocean on the planks of the steerage, using the blood and sweat of 27 free games to collect travel expenses, just to play a decent game in the Olympics. But when the flames of war reached our doorstep, the green field turned into a beacon: "Asian Football King" Li Huitang put down the trophy and led the team to play 139 anti-Japanese charity matches in the southwest hinterland. Every goal was replaced by frontline guns and ammunition; "Little Black Tan" Chen Zhenhe took off his jersey and put on a flight suit, and drove an old fighter plane into the Japanese fleet. His last words before his death were "I will pass the ball for this breakthrough"; "Bronze Head" Tan Jiangbai changed his shin guards into the leggings of the transport team and rushed to transport supplies amidst the artillery fire on the Burma Highway. The football hanging on the front of the car became the spiritual totem of the convoy. They once chased the ball in the sunshine of Berlin, and later guarded the flag in the smoke of gunpowder. When the cry of football turned into a charge, this group of teenagers used their footwork and strength to build a green Great Wall on the land of China that will never collapse.
