"Come on, soccer boy!"

Growing up in Yushu, where the football atmosphere is strong, most of the teenagers have been exposed to football for three or four years. They watched the match with more than 2,<> spectators at the Chinese Super League match between Beijing Guoan and Changchun Yatai on the evening of the <>nd.

Before the game, six teenagers dressed in Tibetan costumes walked into the green field as caddies holding hands with the players, becoming the focus of the game. Guoan No. 6 player Yang Liyu led 17-year-old Xili Cairen to enter. In the game, Yang Liyu shot successfully, and Xili Cairen also stood up in the stands and applauded him.

"It turns out that being there is this feeling." Nami Tsejin has only watched live football on TV, and now watching the game live, he is infected by the enthusiasm of the fans, cheering together, and "very interactive".

"Excited", "excited", "happy"... Talking about the first time playing football on the green field, the first time becoming a caddy, and the first time watching a live football game, children describe it this way.

"Come on, soccer boy!" Professor Meng Man of Minzu University of China sent a message to the children at the exchange event held at the school. She also welcomes them to come to Beijing often to play a few more games in professional stadiums and enjoy sports.

Same frequency resonance in the classroom

Sitting in the classroom of the Central University for Nationalities, the children listened to a vivid lesson on Chinese culture.

The keynote speaker Meng Man introduced to the children that polo, which was popular in the Tang Dynasty, was invented by Tibetan compatriots and was introduced to the Central Plains thousands of years ago, and has since spread to many regions. Today's soccer teenagers, she said, should be aware of these historical origins.

When Meng Man asked, "Did you know that Wang Changling, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, had a poem that began with 'Qinghai'?" As soon as the words fell, the Tibetan teenager Ah Bin in the audience recited "Seven Songs from the Army, Part 4", which received warm applause from his friends.

Bin said he was happy to interact with Monman. In class, he learned about the origin of football development in China, and his favorite sport is football, and hopes to study in Beijing in the future.

Dolmatso, a 13-year-old girl who also likes to memorize poetry, told reporters that Chinese is her best subject. If she had written about her trip to Beijing, she would describe the Forbidden City as if she had stepped into a history textbook.

"At that moment, we were resonating at the same frequency." In an interview with the China News Agency after class, Mengman said that the excellent traditional Chinese culture is a precious wealth shared by all ethnic groups, and everyone will be shocked and moved by it, and draw strength from it. And inter-ethnic communication is like children making friends, the more you interact, the more you can find each other's advantages.

Let the seeds germinate

When asked about her dreams of growing up, the 16-year-old girl in the delegation said she wanted to be a judge. After the exchange meeting at the Central University for Nationalities, she received the blessing of Pumao Deji, a Tibetan student at the law school of the university: May you become an excellent, benevolent and brave highland judge as soon as possible.

12-year-old Xi Li Tsering loves to paint birds, and he gave his uncle and aunt in Beijing a painting of a black-necked crane standing on a meadow. He told reporters that black-necked cranes are national first-class protected animals, and they inhabit and breed in jade trees. Looking back on his trip to Beijing, the little painter intends to memorize the appearance of the Forbidden City and the bird's nest and put it in the painting.

The 14-year-old has been playing for four years and wants to be a good goalkeeper on par with Argentina's Martinez. Martinez helped Argentina win last year's World Cup final in Qatar, and Nami Tsei Ren praised his spirit of responsibility.

Actors, policemen, teachers, athletes, painters... The seeds of dreams are quietly germinating in the hearts of these boys and girls. Dongzhou Wende, a teacher from the welfare home who accompanied him, said that he hoped that this trip would make the children realize that no matter what setbacks they encounter, they must have self-confidence and courage to realize their dreams.
