Once a prominent figure in Chinese football, Li Tie was sentenced to 20 years for his involvement in over 100 million yuan of illegal assets. He appeared calm and retained the opportunity to appeal. This verdict sparked widespread discussion, with some questioning the disparity in sentencing compared to Chen Xuyuan, who received life imprisonment for a lesser amount. As Li Tie's case unfolded, it exposed a web of corruption, from being persuaded to participate in match-fixing to implicating intermediaries like Liu Yi and even leading to the downfall of Gou Zhongwen. The revelation that Li Tie's misdeeds began before he became the national team coach has shaken the football community. Fans are disheartened by the extent of underhanded dealings within the sport. The involvement of high-ranking officials like Gou Zhongwen, who was caught up in shady operations related to major events like the Asian Cup hosting rights and the Winter Olympics, further eroded public trust. Despite the turmoil, Gao Hongbo, a former vice-chairman of the Football Association, remained untainted. He expressed regret over the events but also optimism that the industry would improve following this scandal. This could be a fresh start for the national team, with hopes that Chinese football will clean house and return to its pure sporting roots. Online discussions reflect mixed opinions. Some believe Li Tie's sentence is too lenient and should be increased to deter others, while others argue that his cooperation in exposing deeper corruption merits consideration in sentencing. Regardless, there is a collective wish for Chinese football to seize this opportunity to reform…

The anti-corruption storm in China's sports world, from football to table tennis and beyond, seems to be playing out like an "annual drama," with each revelation akin to a scripted climax. The audience is both shocked by the fall of those once lofty "big shots" and can't help but wonder: how many untold stories lie behind this? Let's start with football, a field where the "black gold jungle" has long been notorious. Li Tie was sentenced to 20 years in prison, and Chen Xuyuan received a life sentence, a severity that almost amounts to "removing the bottom of the pot" for the entire Chinese football world. But the question is, can such deterrence make Chinese football "turn over a new leaf"? The answer is probably not that optimistic. After all, football has deteriorated to this point not just because of a few "Li Ties" or "Chen Xuys," but due to systemic problems that have accumulated over the years. From grassroots training to professional leagues, corruption, interest transfers, and power-money transactions lurk at every level. This anti-corruption campaign may have cut down the most conspicuous "trees," but it's far from enough to cure the "forest disease." Now let's look at table tennis, once hailed as the "cleanest sanctuary." It too has been implicated. Wang Zhongqi, the former chairman of Henan Table Tennis Association, was suddenly investigated and overnight turned from a "meritorious figure" into a focus of public opinion. How dramatic is this plot? He had just won an award for successfully introducing the WTT World Cup Finals, yet behind the…

After half a year, 67-year-old Chen Xuyuan returns to Shanghai and may meet Li Tie in prison, with all the details of his final moments fully exposed. Unknowingly, it has been half a year since Chen Xuyuan was sentenced. This former powerful figure in the Football Association, who once "called the wind and rain," now has new developments. According to domestic media reports, on Christmas Eve, he was escorted back to Shanghai and will spend the rest of his life in Nanhui Prison. It's quite a coincidence that on the same day, Oscar, who played for Shanghai Port for eight years, officially announced his departure. Recalling the intimate scenes between Chen Xuyuan and Oscar in the past, they now seem full of irony. The conditions in Nanhui Prison are relatively good, mainly detaining the elderly, weak, sick, and disabled, ensuring personal safety there. What is even more remarkable is that Li Tie, who was sentenced to 20 years in prison, according to informed sources, is likely to serve his sentence here as well. These two "prominent figures" in the football world might meet again in prison and become cellmates, which is ironic for fans. Chen Xuyuan is now 67 years old, with not much time left in his life. It is reported that after the incident came to light, his family moved abroad to live a superior life. To this day, neither his wife nor his son has come to visit him, leaving him feeling lonely in prison. Once prosperous and unparalleled, he brought great wealth to his family, but…
