Modern Leifeng joins Wild East Football

Comrade Lei Feng himself

is greatly honoured to welcome aboard B. Cheng aka A Modern Lei Feng – a name which may be familiar to many in the Chinese bloggersphere.

Cheng has been the other lonely soul blogging in English about Chinese football over the last few years. With both Cheng and ‘s editor linking back and forth to each others’ sites on a regular basis, it was probably inevitable that they would eventually join forces to try to illuminate and decipher the curious world of Chinese football, with their combined musings.

Cheng’s credentials are second to none – his blog focuses not only on the fortunes of his beloved Beijing Guoan FC, but a multitude of other aspects of Beijing life. He’s deservedly built a reputation in the Chinese bloggersphere as an insightful observer of not only Chinese football, but also the wider picture of life in modern China and its many layers. But now, Cheng has very generously decided to climb aboard and give his views on the issue of the Chinese footballing day.

Look out for his first posts coming soon.
