"At that moment, my thoughts drifted to that spring afternoon in Shanghai. By the training field, a girl asked me to do an interview. Her sincere smile moved me, though her questions were somewhat naive. I sensed a special aura about her, drawing us closer step by step. Her talent for football was astonishing. As we grew to know each other better, what impressed me even more was her uniqueness."
