2 儒EN The Confucian Way to Sagehood 儒道至圣 Eternal Flame永恒之火Eastern Fantasy7.7M WordsCompleted This is a world where scholars command the power of Heaven and Earth. With literary talent within, poems can slay enemies, lyrics can destroy armies, and essays can bring peace to the realm. A scholar puts brush to paper, discussing war from the safety of his desk; a successful candidate slays the enemy with every word; an advanced scholar flies into a rage, and his words become weapons. When a Sage arrives, his words and writing can condemn a man, judge an emperor's rule unjust, and take on an 50Votes9.6MRecs2MFans

Curator note

This is a world where scholars wield the power of heaven and earth. With talent, one can kill enemies with poetry, annihilate armies with lyrics, and bring peace to the world with prose. A scholar can strategize on paper; a successful candidate in the provincial examination can compose poems and write essays; and a candidate in the imperial examination can engage in heated debates. When a sage arrives, he can condemn people with words and writings, punish individuals, and judge the emperor as tyrannical, making one a match for an entire nation. At this time, the Holy Academy held the civil service positions, the monarch controlled the official positions, ten kingdoms were vying for power, barbarian tribes were eyeing the country covetously, and demons were causing chaos. At this time, there was no flourishing of Tang poetry, no golden age of Song lyrics, no innovative writing, and no new sages for a hundred years. An unknown, poor boy, after having his head smashed, embarked on the path to sainthood, carrying with him timeless poems and astonishing writings.

When history becomes legend When legends become myths When myths have already faded and become fragmented When the sands of time obliterate everything Our names, our stories, continue to resonate through the long river of time. Like the sun high in the sky, eternally shining on the earth, never to be extinguished. Remember, there once was a group of people who stood tall between heaven and earth, like pillars supporting the sky, never bowing or kneeling before anyone. They wield wind and thunder, they tread on dragons and snakes, they crack the earth with their fists, they shatter stars with their palms; they are our ancestors, they share the same bloodline as us, they called themselves shamans when they walked on the earth, and they became shaman gods after they shattered the void!

This book tells the story of Zhang Jun's football career against the backdrop of China's golden generation of football. Although the title is "We Are the Champions", the main character is Zhang Jun, who is the protagonist. The novel begins when he enters the professional football world and continues until his retirement. Through his eyes and his experiences, he paints a picture of the development of Chinese football for readers. There is joy, there is sorrow, there is hope, there is loss. Chinese football has moved forward along with the ups and downs of Zhang Jun's professional career. There is progress and regression, darkness and light. The climax of the book is China winning the World Cup, but that is not the final message of the book. The true meaning of "we are the champions" does not lie in winning a historic world championship, but in the ending of the novel: what kind of champion does Chinese football really need? Therefore, I urge all readers to patiently read the entire text. To be honest, the author personally hoped to write it all at once and upload it all so that everyone could read it all at once; that would make the book "Champion" truly enjoyable. However, due to the nature of online serialization and writing, we can only ask everyone to wait together. During the waiting process, there will be joy, sadness, anger, and disappointment, but please don't give up. Although "The Champion" is a fantasy story based on reality, overall it is a positive, inspiring, and hopeful story. Perhaps after enduring the deepest darkness, you will unexpectedly discover a glimmer of light in the distance, quietly waiting for you. Walk towards it, and you will see Chinese football, a nation that has suddenly found sunshine after absolute darkness… P. S.: The simplified Chinese version of "We Are the Champions" has been officially published by Beijing Xiuzheng Library and Northern Literature and Art Publishing House. It is available in Xinhua bookstores in major cities and can also be ordered online. The first volume, "Gemini," has been published so far. The remaining volumes will be published in installments. Thank you for supporting the official version!

He is a controversial player in world football. His achievements on the field are undeniable, but at the same time, his impulsiveness and arrogance make him disliked; he shoved the referee, provoked opponents, and instigated fights… He gave the referee a headache, he gave the opposing defenders and goalkeeper a headache, and he even gave himself and the opposing coach a headache... He became the subject of a media frenzy. He delighted the fans with his goals. He is a combination of angel and devil; for every person who hates him, there is someone who loves him just as much. In the words of France Football: "He is the most unique tall man on the modern football field!" But Tran Anh Hung felt that none of this was a big deal and that there was no need to make a fuss. "Who do you think I am? I am Chen Yingxiong!" Watch out! A male has appeared!
