The opening ceremony of the World Cup is not like the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games. The opening ceremony of the World Cup is much simpler, because the main event is not the opening ceremony, but the opening game later.But even so, for the first time in

Most of the results of the World Cup are still fresh in Li Huan's memory, but experiencing the game on the spot is a completely different feeling. After reviewing this World Cup as a fan, Li Huan feels the most
The deepest part is the performance of the Asian teams. South Korea and Japan have become the second-rate teams in the world, that is, the North Korean team. They played 45 minutes in the game against Brazil that shocked the world. Finally, Brazil

Before the start of the World Cup final match between the Netherlands and Spain, Li Huan came to Soweto, the most famous black community in South Africa near the Soccer City Stadium in Johannesburg.

Vila Kaz Street, an ordinary street corner in Soweto District, behind a few vendors selling World Cup souvenirs, there is a small red brick house, covering an area of ​​about 60 square meters, wrapped in a cramped
The courtyard, the courtyard wall is very low.Around, there are even worse houses, surrounded by four large iron sheets, without windows, children and young men wandering around the door, looking sideways at the passing vehicles from time to time.

Li Huan stood in front of this hut in shock, and said to the smoker, "Is this where Mandela lives?"

The smoking gun has an extremely solemn and heavy expression, "Yes, he lived here until 1961 before he was imprisoned. He ate here, slept here, read here, thought here, and brewed revolution here.
The narrow room made him a broad mind. "

Li Huan, Smoker, and Shadow entered along the low eaves of the door, and everything in the house was clear at a glance, a simple wooden table, a few wooden chairs, a small window opened opposite, and a chimney under the window.There are two more on either side.one
The room is a study room, with a maroon single leather sofa, a glass-lined bookcase, and a narrow writing desk.The other room is a bedroom with a single bed that can't be smaller, facing the window, plus a row of bookcases,
This young intellectual, born in the family of the great chief of the Transkei, with degrees in literature and law, renounced the qualifications of the chieftain's succession, and started his revolutionary career here.

Li Huan sighed and said, "What a great person."

Shadow, who had always been quiet, suddenly spoke, "Mandela is the pride of black people all over the world, our king and spiritual father."

After standing silently in the room for a while, Li Huan sighed again and said, "After seeing Mandela's former residence, I don't have any regrets about my trip to South Africa. Let's go."

When Li Huan walked into the yard, he suddenly found an old man with white hair standing at the door and walking into the yard. He had dark skin, an easy-going appearance, and bright but not sharp eyes. He was also looking at Li Huan

.

"Mr. Nelson Mandela!" Smoker shouted.

At this time Mandela also recognized Li Huan. The founding father of South Africa smiled gently and said, "I didn't expect that I would meet the World Footballer when I went back to my former residence. I'm so lucky."

This great man has no air of condescension, and speaks like a chat between acquaintances.

Li Huan never expected to meet Mandela. This was as lucky as buying a lottery ticket for two yuan and winning 500 million. "Mr. Mandela, this is my luck."

Mandela smiled and said, "Come, sit in the room for a while."

Of course Li Huan would not refuse. He followed Mandela to the former residence of this great man. The two sat down on wooden chairs. Mandela laughed and said, "I heard that you can't participate in our first World Cup in Africa.

I am sorry, but it is a pleasure to see you in South Africa now. "

Li Huan smiled and said: "I feel very guilty when you say this, because I don't understand politics, so I don't think about these things."

Mandela smiled slightly and said: "I don't like politics either. When everyone doesn't talk about politics, it means that there is no problem with politics. You are fine, I like you very much, you have your own soul, and you can control
It is very rare to control one's own soul. "

Li Huan smiled and said: "I am not as powerful as you imagined, and I also have a lot of confusion. Today I came to learn from you and absorb your spiritual wealth."

Mandela said: "Young man, if you are confused, tell me, a 92-year-old man, maybe I can help you."

Li Huan asked rhetorically: "Why did you give up the succession of the chieftain and do something that seems hopeless to break apartheid? When you were sentenced to life imprisonment by the government, you regretted it."
? ”

"The goodness of the world is everyone's responsibility. Apartheid is a disgrace to all human beings. I didn't have such great skills to break apartheid. I just did what I should do. Others did theirs later.
It should be done, so this unreasonable system disappears, young man, when you live to my age, you will understand that instead of cursing the darkness, it is better to light a candle.when you are doing something
When you do the right thing, you will be confident and never regret it. "

Suddenly, Li Huan felt enlightened, "Thank you for your advice, I understand."

Mandela said with a smile: "You don't have to thank me, young man, you have your own understanding. What you are doing is very good. No matter who says you are right or wrong, you can only do it according to your own values ​​and views of right and wrong. no

Do as others do.I am sure you will do wonderfully.Football is the language of all mankind. There may be many ways to resolve racial hatred, but I only discovered it when I was old. Let them stand on the same pitch
Playing football is the best way. I believe that you will make everyone fall in love with football and make everyone equal and free on the field. "

Li Huan said with emotion: "Thank you, Mr. Mandela, you love me, but I believe that football can do many things, including changing the fate of many people, including making all those who stand on the pitch no longer

Differentiate by skin color and wealth. "

Mandela patted Li Huan's arm as if he were treating a child or a student, and said, "You are such a good boy. I hope you will come to South Africa often as a guest."

Li Huan said with a smile, "Thank you, Mr. Mandela, I will definitely come to South Africa to see you."

"Okay, when you come again, give me a jersey as a souvenir. I believe you will surpass all history." Mandela smiled like a child.

"Sure, even if I don't have time to come, I will send it to you."

After chatting with Mandela for more than ten minutes, Li Huan left Mandela's former residence with two bodyguards. Li Huan gained and changed a lot from this old man.
