My original name is Li Zhao, a very tacky name. Yes, my father’s surname is Li and my mother’s surname is Zhao. Because I was born too suddenly, I chose them temporarily. It wasn’t until I started school that my father named me

I changed my name, so I am now called Li Zhao, which means I have a great future.

But speaking of my experience, it is not tacky at all. My ancestral home is Songjiang District, Shanghai, but I was born abroad. My mother was seven or eight months pregnant at the time, but she and my father came to Europe for a trip.

I was born unexpectedly in Lisbon, the capital of Portugal. Thanks to my uncle's family living there, I was able to settle down temporarily. However, I also inexplicably acquired Portuguese nationality.

After that, my parents took me back to China, but because the country did not allow dual citizenship, we encountered a series of troubles. Finally, I finally got a green card when I was in elementary school. In this way, my study and life would be no problem.

But it also lost some of its country’s preferential welfare benefits.

My father's name is Li Junsheng, and he is an ordinary newspaper editor. My grandparents are both authentic Songjiang people in Shanghai. My ancestors were once landlords in the old days, but they passed away when I was very young.

After I gave birth to my uncle, my father and my aunt depended on each other. As the eldest son, my uncle naturally shouldered this heavy burden. However, when my father and aunt grew up, my uncle handed over the family burden to his father and went abroad to make a living by himself.

My uncle's family now lives in Lisbon, Portugal, which I just mentioned. My aunt is also a genuine Portuguese, so I have a mixed-race cousin. And not long after I was born, their family had another child, a son, so

I have another cousin. My uncle is a businessman and runs a local wine estate. He is somewhat famous in the local area. It was precisely because of their invitation that my parents took that trip to Europe.

But she didn't want to give birth to me in their home, so we stayed there for three full months, and it wasn't until I was almost 100 days old that I hurried back home to hold a banquet.

From then on, we would visit their home every year. It is worth mentioning that my aunt has a good background. She has a sister named Helen Sweetin, and her husband is the famous Portuguese legendary star Luis?

?Figo. I happened to have a chance encounter with him when I was six years old when I went to my uncle’s house. He liked me quite a bit and showed off his football skills in front of me, but I didn’t pay much attention at the time.

I didn't show enough enthusiasm for football, but I didn't expect him to become an important mentor in my career in the future.

My mother's name is Zhao Xueqin. She is from Shiyan City, Hubei Province. She has been practicing martial arts since she was a child. She is an honorary coach at a martial arts gym in Songjiang District. My father studied there for a year, and that is when I met and fell in love with my mother.

Yes, there are endless stories about them. At home, she is also the chef, and both our father and son tremble when she shows off her power. But what she is best at is not the above, but

A doctor of traditional Chinese medicine, she is also a medical graduate. My grandfather once wanted to pass on his martial arts to her, but in the end he lamented that her qualifications were mediocre and could only place more hopes on me. However, after seeing my mother’s medical talent

, he also passed on some of Wudang’s alchemy and medicine methods to her, believing that it would be helpful to her in this regard.

Speaking of grandpa, his beginning is not small. His name is Zhao Hong, and he is an elder in Wudang Mountain. In ancient times, he could be considered a member of the martial arts world. However, grandpa only has one daughter, his mother. Originally, he was the previous leader.

He was a strong contender for the family, but he had to withdraw from the competition because he had this daughter. He was the one who single-handedly raised his mother. As for my grandmother, I have never met her. I have only heard some legends about her. There is a grandfather.

After practicing it myself, my kung fu foundation is not bad. In his words, I am a rare person with excellent foundation. It would be a pity if I don't teach him well. He still hopes that I can inherit his mantle.

I have been participating in various martial arts classes since I was a child. My learning ability is also very outstanding. I have always been among the best in the class in various subjects such as language and math. It can be said that my style and style are excellent, and my daily behavior standards are also good.

So my parents are very relieved about my campus life.

During middle school, my favorite sports were table tennis and basketball. Although I was not short, I was not good enough to be placed on the school basketball team with many tall people. However, I still relied on my outstanding talent and hard work to become the main player.

Position. At that time, I liked basketball more than football, mainly because I thought this sport was more enjoyable to watch.

Time has arrived in June 2010. I am 13 years old this year. I am studying in the first grade of Songjiang No. 7 Middle School. I am the youngest in the school team, but I am the top scorer in the basketball team. Based on this, others also

I was so convinced that I became the vice-captain and led the school team to compete in the Municipal Middle School Student League Cup, and finally achieved a good result of runner-up.

I am quite satisfied with this result, but I always have some inexplicable feeling that makes me a little depressed, but I can’t say what it is specifically. But I don’t care about it, thinking that my life trajectory will continue like this, and I don’t want to be alone

The emergence of this changed my life.

That day was the third day after we returned from the League Cup. After training, I hurried out of the locker room and was stopped by coach Chen of our basketball team. He looked a little unhappy. Before I could wait, I was stopped by coach Chen from our basketball team.

When I understood what was going on, I was scolded by him.

"Li Zhao, what's the matter with you? You really don't want to be on the basketball team?" Coach Chen's tone was very bad.

"Coach, what's wrong with you? I don't understand what you mean." I asked back in surprise, but I was completely confused.

"Don't you know what the situation is? If you hadn't provoked others, why would that person have been bothering me lately?" Coach Chen said very dissatisfied.

Only then did I recall that there was a person who came to me on the day we finished the game. I didn’t know his name, but he told me that he was deeply impressed after watching my game and said that I was very

He has talent in football and hopes that I can consider trying out for their football team. I didn't take it seriously and rejected him in person. Unexpectedly, he later pestered Coach Chen, which made him very annoyed.

"Coach, I have already rejected him!" I continued to explain.

Unfortunately, no matter how I explained, Coach Chen refused to give me a chance and said that from now on I would no longer be a member of the basketball team and asked me to pack my belongings and prepare to go back.

I was stunned for a long time on the side of the court, and then reluctantly packed my bags.

On the way back, I was so out of my mind that I almost got hit by a car while riding my bike without paying attention.

"You are looking for death. You don't even look at the road while riding a bicycle. If you want to die, don't harm others!" the driver said angrily.

I didn't respond and continued to ride my bike forward. Fortunately, I didn't dare to lose my mind anymore, and I made it all the way back to the door of my house.

I quickly parked the car and was about to go upstairs when I suddenly saw a puppy curled up at the entrance of the corridor. It seemed to be in distress. I stepped forward to take a closer look and couldn't help but be surprised. Isn't this exactly my puppy?

"Ali"? I live in a six-story public apartment, and my home is on the second floor. Ahri is usually quite naughty, so I don't know how it slipped down. I looked up and realized that I had forgotten it.

After closing the window, I understood the reason more or less. But seeing its appearance, I didn't look into it further and hurriedly took it upstairs.

Opening the door of Room 202, the wall clock on the wall pointed to 2 o'clock sharp. Normally I should be in school at this time, but today is Saturday, and my parents are still at work at this time. I gave the dog

I took a shower and rinsed myself.

When I came out, I found that Ahri was in much better spirits, but there was a pile of vomit on the ground beside him, which was obviously his work. I couldn't argue with it, so I had no choice but to clean it up.

"Hey, what is this?" I doubtfully pulled out a translucent bead from the pile of vomit. The bead was unremarkable at first glance, but when my skin touched it, it shone slightly.

The green light was really strange. I finally understood that it was Ah Li who was attracted by it and swallowed the bead by mistake.

However, when I looked at it carefully again, I suddenly remembered that this was the bead I lost a few days ago. Speaking of this bead, it was given to me by my grandpa when I was about four or five years old.

But as for its origin, I can’t tell clearly. My grandpa just said that it was given to him by a friend, and it has the effect of warding off evil spirits, so it has been hanging around my neck. But the original surface was relatively smooth and shiny, and it felt a little bit.

It felt like a marble, but it became a little rough and dim at this time, so I didn't recognize it immediately.

After cleaning up the dirty things on the floor, I had no intention of doing anything else. Feeling sleepy, I fell asleep, and I casually placed the beads on my pillow.

After I fell asleep, that strange translucent bead seemed to be attracted by something, and slowly moved closer to my skin, emitting a faint green light again. At this moment, I was having a very strange dream.

I actually switched to playing football, wearing the jersey of the Premier League giant Manchester United and racing on the field, and launched a world-wide kick that hit the opponent's goal.

I slept until about 5 p.m. and then woke up. After I woke up, I felt pretty good. At least I was a lot more energetic. I felt like I could play a full basketball game without taking a break. Only then did I pay attention to that.

The bead moved. I didn’t care about it. I just felt it shrunk slightly when I took a closer look. There seemed to be something inside. I didn’t want to study further at the moment, so I stuffed it into my trouser pocket.

Walk out of the room.

My parents also arrived home at this time. My mother was cooking in the kitchen, and my father was sitting on the sofa looking at his company's documents. My father's name is Li Junsheng. He works as an agent and is very capable, but his performance has always been poor.

It was tepid. When he saw me coming out of the room, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, so he asked: "Did your basketball team finish early today?"

"I, I am no longer a member of the basketball team." After hesitating for a while, I honestly told the truth.

To my surprise, my father did not reprimand me. Instead, he put down what he was doing, looked at me, and said calmly: "Tell me what's going on!"

My father has always been strict in my image. He has strict requirements on me, but at the same time he is a principled person. Many times he gets angry at me, but afterwards it turns out that he is right, and most of the time he can do it.

After criticizing you, you will be convinced. But when he occasionally makes mistakes, he can admit it in front of you afterwards. It can be said that there is a lot of his shadow in my growth.

Seeing his serious look, I had to bite the bullet and tell the whole story from the beginning. There was no way, he could tolerate you making mistakes, but he would never allow you to lie. Once he found out, the consequences would be very serious.
