I was scrolling through Weibo during my lunch break yesterday when I saw it - that familiar blue verification checkmark next to Wei Xiangxin's name, announcing his move to French club Ajaccio. The notification popped up right as I was biting into my sandwich, and I nearly choked on my lettuce.
You know that feeling when you see someone actually living the dream you once had? That was me, sitting in that cramped office cafeteria, suddenly transported back to when I was 15 - playing football after school until the streetlights came on, dreaming of hearing my name chanted in some European stadium.
Wei's photo in the announcement showed him holding up the red and blue Ajaccio jersey, that determined look in his eyes that reminded me of my cousin when he used to practice free kicks against our garage door. The concrete wall still bears the marks, by the way - little white scars where the ball hit repeatedly, like badges of honor from a battle we eventually lost to reality.
What really got me was reading that he's the only Chinese player on The Guardian's '60 Most Promising Young Players' list. I remember back in high school, our football coach would cut out newspaper articles about Chinese players overseas and tape them to the locker room wall. They were like holy relics to us - yellowing pages filled with hope.
My friend who still follows Chinese football religiously told me over WeChat last night: 'This is different from previous transfers. Wei's not going as marketing material - he's going because they actually want his skills.' He sent me voice messages while watching his kid's bedtime, the excitement in his voice competing with lullabies in the background.
The comment section under Wei's Weibo post was filled with that particular mix of pride and anxiety only Chinese football fans can muster. One comment that stuck with me read: 'Please take care of our boy - he carries more than just his football boots to France.' It had over 5,000 likes and a crying emoji.
I called my dad after seeing the news - he's the one who first put a football at my feet when I was six. His response was classic: 'Another one going overseas? Good. Maybe this time...' He didn't finish the sentence, but we both knew what he meant. That 'maybe' carries the weight of decades of hoping Chinese football would finally have its breakthrough moment.
Wei's joining Ajaccio in July 2026 feels like both an ending and a beginning. It's the culmination of countless training sessions, sacrifices, and that stubborn belief that keeps young kids kicking balls in schoolyards across China. And for those of us who traded our football dreams for office jobs, it's a beautiful reminder that sometimes, someone actually makes it.
