Gao's career also began in Wuhan, and then he moved to Beijing Guoan, Australian Super Newcastle Cavaliers and other teams. On June 20 10, Gao returned to China to join Beijing Baxi, which also provided the soil for the sublimation of his "friendship" with him.
In June, 2065438+April, Ma Yu, a famous mainland singer, was invited to participate in the program "Braised World Cup" hosted by Huang Jianxiang, a famous sports commentator. Different from the past, Ma Yu and Gao made their debut in public entertainment programs. Ma Yu's husband is Gao, a former famous football player in Guoan. The program introduced the topic after teacher Huang Jianxiang's humorous opening remarks. There is an old saying that "style never leaves home", and the combination of Ma Yu and Gao just confirms this sentence. Gao also showed the wonderful skill performance of his "working body" on the spot.
In the program, when asked how Ma Yu and Gao met, Ma Yu said: They met and became attached mainly when they were teaching in Sichuan. After retirement, Gao has been devoted to charity and donated a primary school in the mountainous area of Sichuan. At that time, Ma Yu also came here to teach, and in contact, the two established a relationship of love, and it was in this context that the relationship became a positive result. The football player Gao came to the Hope Primary School he donated to visit the children there. Playing football at high school can earn 300,000 yuan a year, and the Hope Primary School he built cost him 65,438+10,000 yuan. As far as donated property is concerned, the high 654.38 million yuan is a drop in the bucket, but in Hurun's view, it is of course a manifestation of charity. "Everyone can do charity. There is no threshold for charity. It doesn't mean that donating 1 100 million is charity, and charity is not as simple as imagined. But in this way, just like Gao, he must be doing something good, which makes people admire him. There are not many people doing charity in China, but not enough. Athletes' charity plays a driving role, but China athletes' charity is still on the road, and more people need to participate. "
1 magistrate of a county football team
2010 at 8 o'clock last Sunday morning, Gao left Chengdu for Mabian, which was his fourth trip to Mabian. He was dragging an oversized sports bag with 22 short-sleeved jerseys and 69 pairs of football socks. These gifts for primary school students are all given to Gao by Baxi Club.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, I arrived in Mabian County, and Gao Xian went to Xiaxi Middle School, where there was a girl he sponsored, Niu Niu, 13 years old, who was in Grade Two. Every semester, the Metropolitan Government supports Niu Niu 300 yuan through the Wheat Field Project. In the past three years, he has sponsored nearly 100 poor students. At the school gate, Gao met the PE teacher of Xiaxi Middle School. Tell Gao a good news as soon as we meet. Under the influence of Gao, the first football team in Mabian County was established.
Zou Xin said that after Gao came to Mabian in 2007, influenced by Gao, they had the idea of forming a team. Prior to this, the mainstream sport of the horse was basketball. "The group was established in February this year. Now the team will go to Leshan to play amateur league every week, go on Friday, then stay in Leshan for one night and play on Saturday. " Hearing this, I was overjoyed. "It also won a group of fans for China football." He even joked that he would come to the Mabian county football team as a player and coach after retirement.
In fact, Gauguin is concerned about the change of people's views on China football in Mabian County. "China football has a poor impression in the hearts of fans. As a China player, I hope I can do something to make the public feel that not all China players are so negative. Now when it comes to players in China, everyone's comments are generally all about eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. However, through my construction of Hope Primary School in Mabian and my dedication once a year, the people I met in Mabian gradually began to change their views on China players, and they will also help me promote them. When it comes to China football, they will tell others:' China players are not all what the outside world thinks, but there are also good people among them, such as Gao.' "
Speaking of these words of Gao, I feel very proud.
500 yuan pocket money
Apart from changing the prejudice against football in China, Gao's persistence in charity has another motivation, and that is the death of his father, 1999. Gao said that he regarded this school as a gift for his father.
Gao Cai 19 years old when his father died, but his father had a great influence on him. Gao recalled: "My father was a helpful person. He didn't have the word "charity" at that time, but he would sell watches and bicycles to help those students with difficult conditions, sometimes with the aim of letting the children have uniform clothes at the sports meeting. "
Gao said that his father likes children, so does he. In Xiaxi Middle School, Niu Niu is one of his favorite children. Gao said that he has a special relationship with Niu Niu: "Children in remote mountainous areas are very introverted and rarely have the opportunity to meet foreigners. Besides, I speak Mandarin, so children are generally afraid of strangers. But Niu Niu is very enthusiastic about me and has a good chat with me. Moreover, her family conditions are very poor, her father died, and there are only mothers and grandmothers at home, and there are almost no livestock. "
When she was leaving Xiaxi Middle School, Gao pulled Niu Niu aside and gave her 500 yuan money as pocket money. Gao knows that it is wrong to give money directly to children. It has also been criticized by volunteer teachers, saying that poverty alleviation is not like this, and volunteer service is not like this. Giving them a sum of money will hurt them.
But Gao just can't help it. When he sees the poor conditions at home, he will violate the rules. Afterwards, he told the Chengdu Business Daily reporter, "I gave Niu Niu money in the hope that she would have a better life. Let her take some shortcuts. "
After leaving Xiaxi Middle School, Gao's next stop is not Mabian County, but the home of another poor student Cao nearby. It was this time that Gao went to Xiaxi Middle School, and he learned that Cao's family was very difficult. After meeting Cao's family, he and his friends in the same trade also decided to support this child from this semester.
4 cakes
It was past 6 o'clock when we arrived in Mabian County. Gao had dinner with a group of caring volunteers at the edge of the horse. At the dinner table, I learned another good news from Gao. After the beginning of this year, there are more than 100 students in his wheat field, which is the largest number in Mabian wheat field primary school. When the school was first built in 2008, there were only more than 80 people. Volunteers also told Gao that many parents came to Gao because Gao brought gifts to visit the children every year. Gao rejoiced at the news. He ate dinner in a hurry and went to the street to find a cake shop, regardless of the fatigue of the journey. It is his rule to take cakes to the wheat field every year. When he was a child, he liked cream cakes very much. He said that the children must like them, too. On the commercial street in Mabian County, Gao found a cake shop and bought three cream cakes with a diameter of more than 40 cm.
Gao said that in addition to cakes, he used to bring two boxes of snacks like Wangwang fresh shellfish and bean jelly to school. "I feel particularly chilling when I watch my children eat snacks. Many of them won't eat, but will be put in schoolbags to share with their families when they go home. Some children eat jelly, lick small bowls and wrapping paper. " Gao recalled:
Besides cakes and snacks, Gao always brings clothes. Before his trip to Mabian in 2008, he went to Shenzhen, bought 90 jerseys and articles, and then dragged a heavy box from Shenzhen to Chengdu. He was fined several hundred yuan because of too many clothes and overweight luggage.
After staying at the edge of the horse all night, I got up at half past six in the morning. Without breakfast, he went to the street to buy a big cake, and then went to the stationery store. "There are many children this year, and three cakes are not enough. In addition, I don't have enough clothes and socks, so I will buy some schoolbags. " Therefore, Gao bought 24 schoolbags and 3 pillows before going to the wheat field. "The pillow is for three teachers in the school, and the teachers' lives are also very bitter. "
22 yuan money
It is difficult to go to the wheat field. Starting from Mabian County, it is a two-hour drive, most of which are dangerous mountain roads, and landslides will be encountered from time to time along the way. At the foot of Shaqiang village, the car couldn't walk any further, so Gao and his friends had to get off the bus, carrying big bags of cakes and embarked on a steep mountain road.
This walk is 1 half an hour, and it takes ten hours to get to the wheat field. It's already 1 1 in the morning. The wheat field is very small, only a row of right-angle bungalows, four rooms, divided into grade one, grade two, grade three and a library. Next to the bungalow is a small clearing, which is used as a playground. Although the school is small, the height is very satisfactory. When he came to see the completed school for the first time in 2008, he was full of sense of accomplishment: "There are another group of students whose reading problems have been solved, and I am the one who helped them."
Gao handed out schoolbags, clothes and socks to the children one by one, and finally the cake. The school teacher Ji called the students to the open space outside the classroom, and everyone lined up obediently, waiting for Gao to share the cake. Volunteers cut the cake and handed it to Gao, and Gao handed it to the children. After getting the cakes handed over by the volunteers, Mr. Gao felt that there were too few cakes, and he would add some cream to each cake.
Before leaving school, Gao carefully recorded in his notebook how many books and desks and chairs the school lacked. He said that he would solve these problems as soon as he returned to Beijing. In addition, he told Ji that children should be allowed to clean the classroom every day. "Too much dust is not conducive to their growth." Finally, he gave Ji more than 300 yuan, saying that the female teacher should buy some cosmetics. Back to Mabian County, it was already 4: 30 in the afternoon. After a meal, only 22 yuan's money was left in Gao's pocket. Before coming to Mabian, he brought more than 3000 yuan in cash. Every time I go to the edge of the horse, Gao returns empty-handed. The most exaggerated thing is that in 2007, when he came for the first time and left Mabian, a volunteer helped him buy a bus ticket of more than 60 yuan to return to Chengdu.

Are you willing to donate half your annual salary?
In fact, Gao didn't make much money. When playing in Finland and Australia, his annual salary was 300 thousand. 5. After the12 earthquake, he asked his mother to donate 6.5438+0.5 million yuan in Australia and spent 6.5438+0.5 million yuan to repair ten wheat fields. At that time, in order to donate money to Wenchuan, he returned a sports car that had already paid a deposit. "At that time, I felt that this aspect was full of money."
Gao will also mobilize friends around him to help poor students. He found that there is love in everyone's heart, but it still takes a process to really do it. Gao Hui handed over the materials of poor students that he had personally visited and collected to his friends, but of the 50 materials distributed, only two or three materials were often funded in time.
Compared with domestic players, there is actually very little time to spend on charity. He plays football abroad all the year round and has to be with his family and friends after returning home. However, Gao takes time to go to Mabian every year, which he says is his promise. In fact, Gao sometimes shakes his will. For example, this time, his posterior thigh ligament was broken, and the affected area could even see congestion clearly. Moreover, it is nearly 7 hours' drive from Chengdu to Wheat Field 10, and he once wanted to give up his trip to Mabian.
However, at the thought of his first trip to Mabian, Gao Made Lei Lei was determined to go. At this time, you can see the stars when you sit in the bed of the poor students' home. In addition, a family's dinner is a pot of sweet potatoes, and people and pigs eat the same. He also saw the mother of a poor student, who was severely tortured by years and life. He thought it was the child's grandmother. Gao's goal at that time was to build a Hope Primary School every year. He thinks it's not a big problem for him to build a school with half of his annual salary of 300 thousand. "When I am 40 years old, I will have my own school 10, which would be great." However, the reality forced him to give up his naive ideal. Due to the rising price of raw materials, it now costs 300,000 yuan to build a school of the same size, which is too high to afford anyway.
Gao said that charity will definitely do what it can. "I won't let my life be affected too much to help them. I'm not that noble. When I can't afford it, I will reconsider. After all, everyone has a real life, and I will have a wife and children in the future. But I think there is no difference between helping a child and helping 100 children. The key is love, which has nothing to do with how much money there is. "
In real life, how many people are willing to give half their annual salary to help others?
"I missed the World Cup without sending money."
In the first half of this year, Minnesota stars played for the American second division. In the summer, Wang Tao, head coach of Beijing Baxi team, called Gao and tentatively asked him if he would like to return to China to play football. In Wang Tao's impression, including many China footballers, Gao didn't want to play football in China because China didn't allow him to play football, and he was forced to leave that year.
This time in Mabian, I chatted with a reporter from Chengdu Business Daily about China football. Gao is right or outspoken. "China's past football made me feel sick." However, since the anti-gambling storm that began last year, the view on Gao has changed. "We have caught everything we should, and the domestic football environment has been purified to a certain extent, so when Wang Tao sent me an invitation, I agreed."
Indeed, in Gao's view, it was because he couldn't stand China football that he chose to play abroad. When Milu was the head coach of the national team, Gao had a good chance to be selected for the national team because of his outstanding performance in the league, but he recalled: "The coach of Guoan did not arrange for me to play in the next few rounds of the league, and I don't know why. Later, the national team said that I played too little in the league and they couldn't recruit such players. At that time, if I had something personal with coach Guoan, I should be able to play in the next game, and my World Cup quota will definitely be saved. " Gao is still angry. He missed the opportunity to participate in the World Cup. "Now everyone can see that it costs money to enter the national team, so it was normal for me not to enter the national team at that time. Should I respect this national team? It shouldn't be! From then on, I will die in the national team. "
Gao went through too many hardships before leaving domestic football and going abroad. For example, when playing football in Australia in 2008, Gao was injured, and the club actually wanted to unilaterally cancel the contract and get rid of his burden. Later, he appealed to FIFA, and Gao got the salary and liquidated damages. Gao did not regret his choice: "At that time, the domestic football environment made me feel at a loss, but abroad, I just needed to perform well on the court." What the coach cares about is not whether you will end up. I believe that as long as I take football seriously, football will give me a good return. "
Go to Sichuan Mabian to teach.
2012165438+10 month 19, BTV football 100 points mainly reported that the former national security players went to Sichuan Mabian to coach. In March 2008, the "Ten Wheat Fields" donated by Gao in the name of his father was built in Zhongziping Village, Shaqiang Township, Mabian Yi Autonomous County, Sichuan Province, a national poverty-stricken county. For four years, Gaga visited her ten-year-old child with gifts every year. This year, Gao spent half a year as a teaching teacher in Shaqiang Township Central School and Seed Ping Primary School.
The bumpy course of high donation school bus
Gao will hold a school bus donation activity on 20 12. Although Gao bought the car at his own expense, the whole process was tortuous. The school bus should have been delivered at 20 12 1 1, but the manufacturer commandeered the high school bus privately, which delayed the delivery time.
After the school bus was delivered, Gao encountered problems in handling relevant procedures. "Leshan municipal government, I donated a school bus to Leshan doll! It's been a week since I went through the formalities in Leshan, and I haven't finished all of them! I will definitely not donate school buses in the future! I want to live a few more days, don't be exhausted! " Although it was very hard, Gao finally got the license plate on the last day of 20 12, and celebrated the new year with this school bus.
This time, during Gao's teaching in Mabian, "500,000 yuan of materials and school-related facilities were all implemented under my eyes, not a penny less!" Gao also said that he will continue his charity this year.
This school bus didn't go on the road until March 20 14, and the Mabian county government and relevant departments have been working hard for it.
Chengdu cycling Lhasa
20 14 On July 27th, Gao decided to ride Lhasa (Sichuan-Tibet Line) from Chengdu and visit Hope Primary School along the way at the invitation of his friend @ Zitoutong (Weibo). Among them, * * * taught in the NBA Hope Primary School of Jianyang Yao Fund in Sichuan, and brought 100 pairs of children's shoes and football.
