Chapter 29 The Boys in Chinatown

The Ucela district of Madrid can be regarded as a shanty town in Madrid, a slum area, and a well-known immigrant area. There are a large number of immigrants from all over the world gathered here, among which South American immigrants are the most.

However, if Chinese tourists come to Nicolas Sanchez Avenue in Ucera District, they will definitely suspect that they have come from a "fake country", because almost all of this street is full of Chinese signs and various Chinese characteristics. symbols, such as dragons, lions, and red lanterns...

A variety of Chinese restaurants, Chinese supermarkets, and shopping malls decorate this narrow street just like the domestic ones.

It makes people feel in a trance that they have come to China.

But this is indeed genuine Spanish territory, an area under the jurisdiction of Madrid.

This is the famous Chinatown in China.

In Usela District, the Chinese have become the third largest group of immigrant population. The original Spaniards and shops on this street moved out one after another, and all the Chinese immigrants moved in, thus turning the streets of Madrid into Chinatown.

Nearly 10,000 Chinese and overseas Chinese live here. Some of them came to Spain for three generations, some came to Spain decades ago, and some came from China in the past ten or twenty years. Come here to find business opportunities.

Some people have already become naturalized Spanish and Spanish-speaking immigrants, while others are Chinese who just work here to make money and look forward to returning home one day.

But no matter what identity, no matter what nationality. They all speak Chinese, eat Chinese food, and have the same cultural origins, which made them gather in a three-kilometer area centered on the intersection of Nicolas Sanchez Avenue and Dolores Barranco Avenue, where ants moved By means of bricks, a Chinatown, a country of China, was built in a foreign country little by little.

Wearing an Atlético de Madrid jersey, Dong Jin carried a schoolbag and carried a football on the sidewalk of the crowded Nicolas Sanchez Avenue. The football seemed to be glued to his feet. He did not slow down and the football did not lose control. He circled it Pedestrians one after another, they were startled when he passed by them.

He dribbled smoothly like this, and then ran into the small restaurant at home from the street outside like the wind. When he was about to hit someone, he made a sudden stop and turned around, Kankan dodged from the side.

Just when he was about to rush upstairs in one breath, his mother grabbed his collar and said, "Ah Jin! You almost hit Grandpa!"

"Grandpa, I'm sorry..." Dong Jin apologized perfunctorily to his grandfather.

Grandpa smiled and said: "Be careful of falling, it will hurt very much."

"Father, you still care about whether it hurts when he falls..." The daughter said helplessly to her father. At the same time, she felt that the son in her hand broke free and wanted to run away, so she clenched even tighter. up.

"What's in your hand?" she asked.

"Newspaper, newspaper." Dong Jin raised the newspaper in his hand.

"Bring me to see." Mom grabbed it and saw Gao Zheng's photo in the newspaper, she was stunned for a moment.

"Mom, don't you always say that Chinese people can't play football well and have no future in football? Gao Zheng is the pride of us Chinese!" Dong Jin said proudly beside him. "Do you think playing football still has a future?"

The mother snapped the newspaper back into the palm of her son angrily: "What are you playing? Study hard! Why do I work so hard to make money? Is it for you to play football? You have to study hard, don't you think Open a restaurant for a lifetime?"

"There's nothing wrong with opening a restaurant," Grandpa said. "We Chinese are best at opening restaurants and seeing everywhere we go. In any case, as long as there are Chinese people, we need to eat Chinese food. If Ah Jin doesn't like to study, he can cook with Grandpa. When I grow up, I will have skills, so it won’t be difficult to support myself..."

"Abba!" The daughter interrupted her father's "nonsense".

"Are you hungry, Ah Jin? Grandpa will give you something to eat..." Grandpa asked Dong Jin with a smile.

Dong Jin shook his head quickly: "I'm not hungry, I'm going upstairs!"

After speaking, he grabbed the newspaper and jumped upstairs.

"This brat!" The mother was very helpless. "With such poor grades, I still want to play football!"

Grandpa persuaded her: "Okay, okay, don't be too strict with Ah Jin, let nature take its course..."

Dong Jin ran to the attic on the third floor in one breath. This is a space that belongs only to him, where his bedroom is located. After closing the door, he threw his schoolbag on the floor, lay down on the bed impatiently, and opened the newspaper to read.

He wanted to see how the local media in Madrid evaluated Gao Zheng's performance.

The first thing that catches the eye is a headline: "He silenced the Bernabeu!"

"Cool!" Dong Jin whistled excitedly.

He continued to read the text.

"... we can't say that in just one game, Gao conquered discerning Atletico Madrid fans, because Gao conquered Atletico Madrid with his hat-trick in Calderon in the Champions League quarter-finals last season. Fans. It is said that the reason why Atletico Madrid is so determined to introduce Gao is directly related to Gao's outstanding performance in that game. It was after that game that Atletico Madrid and Simeone believed that they should sign Gao at all costs, And yesterday's goal at the Bernabéu showed that Atletico Madrid's decision was absolutely correct..."

Dong Jin read this report over and over again, and finally his eyes fell on the big photo on the cover. In the photo, Gao Zheng held his head up, opened his arms, and stood up straight, as if he wanted to embrace the whole world. And that's exactly what he celebrates after scoring a goal.

"So handsome!" Dong Jin turned over, lay on the bed, raised the newspaper with both hands, and looked at Gao Zheng so seriously.

Looking at it, he was a little dazed, wearing an Atletico Madrid jersey, and the person posing in such a pose seemed to be replaced by him. Then the figure got closer and closer to him, rushed towards him, and finally slapped him on the face...

"what……"

Dong Jin rubbed his face and got up from the bed, then found a pair of scissors in the drawer, carefully cut Gao Zheng's photo out of the newspaper, and pasted it on the wall beside the bed with scotch tape.

After finishing all this, he took two steps back and admired this self-made "star poster" with satisfaction.

As a soccer-loving boy born on Via Nicolas Sanchez in the south of Madrid, playing for Atlético was a natural dream.
