How African teenagers grow up in Chinese football, from initial embarrassment to gradual maturity, and the transformation process from a street football boy to a main player in the Chinese Super League. Among the many foreign players who joined the Chinese Super League, Oscar’s story is unique, and his career is closely connected with Chinese football. ”

Discussion of cultural adaptation and identity. His father’s positive evaluation of Chinese culture and social environment, as well as the respect and help Oscar received in China, all reflect the complexity of his cultural identity and emotional dependence on China. Heart’ is not only a sense of belonging, but also the acceptance and recognition of the Chinese nation and culture in a multicultural context. The story of Oscar is China’s acceptance and tolerance of different cultures, skin colors and races as an advocate of a community with a shared future for mankind. A vivid example. In the current context of globalization, such a story is worth pondering.”
