gui erniu is no stranger to many senior football fans in my country. you can always see him if you go to jiangxi to watch a live match. as a jiangxi football fan, gui erniu also deeply loves the national team, and his love for football has a great influence on football fans across the country.

on the field, gui erniu has always adhered to his unique style: wearing a red horn hat and big red characters on his face. when cheering for the local team in jiangxi, he painted his left face red to represent the red land and revolutionary base of jiangxi, and wrote "august 1" on his right face to symbolize the august 1 uprising; when cheering for the chinese football team, he wrote the word "china" on his face, and many times he would write big red characters on his body. in this way, every time gui erniu, dressed in red, appeared in the football stands, he was an eye-catching sight, and he infected people with his passion.

gui erniu was born in 1948. even at the departure ceremony of the jiangxi beidamen football club for the new season of the china league one in 2022, the 74-year-old gui erniu still wore a "china must win" horn hat and had eye-catching red words "beidamen good luck" written on his bare chest. he beat the gongs and drums vigorously, bringing the atmosphere to a climax.

the incident that made gui erniu famous was as early as 1985. because the chinese team lost a game, he smashed the tv in anger and jumped into the yangtze river.in the 2004 asian cup final, he made another amazing move by riding a bicycle for 28 days and 1,870 kilometers to beijing to cheer for the chinese team.

local fans: "uncle niu" was hospitalized for a long time due to liver disease, which is a great loss to the jiangxi fan community

according to media reports, in september 2023, gui erniu was hospitalized for illness. several leaders of the local jiujiang city xunyang district football association made a special trip to the hospital to visit him, encouraging "uncle niu" to actively recuperate, recover soon, and return to the court to cheer for chinese football.

on september 6, local officials and many media outlets announced that gui erniu, "uncle niu," had passed away due to illness, but none of them mentioned what illness the old man had. whether his death was related to the chinese national football team's shameful match that night sparked speculation among many netizens.

in this regard, after the huashang daily dafeng news reporter tried to contact "uncle niu's" family in many ways without success, he contacted a local fan in jiujiang. he said that uncle niu had been hospitalized due to liver cancer since last year's fa cup match. after learning about the situation, his football association immediately organized personnel to visit the old man, and everyone has been paying close attention to "uncle niu's" condition throughout the year.

"uncle niu was our role model and spiritual sustenance. we are all very sad about his passing. it is a huge loss for our jiangxi fan community." the fan said that he was not sure whether uncle niu's death was related to the game that night. perhaps it was a coincidence in time, but considering the old man's persistent love for chinese football, it would undoubtedly be a serious blow if he knew such a score.
