The film itself is about football. The excitement that football can bring to a nation cannot be described in words or measured by standards. "Football is round, and a game has ninety minutes." Besides? And then there is something broader and deeper that it brings us. Struggle, will, determination, uncertainty, endurance, surprise, unity, courage, tactics, and hope and inspiration.
It's not just about football. After the war, people's attitude towards football and the effect of football on people deeply reflect the impact of the war on the whole country and nation from one perspective. I haven't watched many German films, but I have seen the Germans' objective and honest attitude towards history. They can look at the war from the perspective of human nature rather than politics, frankly and sincerely, without evasion or concealment. It really takes a lot of courage and courage. And we can't. We can't let go. We open wounds that haven't healed in front of the world again and again, just to prove we've been hurt. So we are more in pain, more unable to let go, and more burdened. And clinging to the hatred of the past is not because of intolerance, but because we have never received a real apology. I can't say anything more about Japan's attitude. Compared with the Germans, the appearance of the Japanese can only be described as wretched and mean. Although Chinese culture has a profound influence on Japan, we cannot do anything about their national character. You can't change them, you can only change yourself. What we want to see is that Japan is better than us in many aspects, whether it is economy or football. Clinging to the past hurts our own feelings, and they remain indifferent. So what we have to do now is to be strong and to outsmart them in every way. This goes back to what I said at the beginning, to turn the sadness of history, the hatred of Japan, and the complex of the motherland into motivation. As for what to do, that's another big topic, and it can't be solved in a few words.
Looking forward to the prosperity of China and the revitalization of Chinese football. There is still a long way to go, but believe that strength and victory, in our future, will not only be a miracle.
