Guo Jiashian, a member of the Beijing Guoan Under-19 youth team, was injured during off-season training in Spain as a member of the Beijing Football Association's starting team and was recently diagnosed with brain death at a local hospital. In the match against local team Rayo Alcobendas, he hit the head in the knee while attempting a sliding tackle to take away the opponent's ball. Guo Jiashian, who lost consciousness, was taken to a hospital by a rescue helicopter. Guo Jiashian, who was diagnosed with a large amount of intracranial hemorrhage, received intensive treatment for about four hours, but was eventually diagnosed with brain death.
Guo Jiashian's father immediately flew to Spain after hearing the shocking news. But the news to him was hopeless. The hospital explained that if a brain death is determined, the hospital has the right to stop treatment under Spanish local law. The hospital suggested to his father to remove the tube inserted into Guo Jiashian and conduct an autopsy.
Of course, it couldn't have been accepted. China's Tencent reported on the 14th that Guo Jiashian's father knelt in front of Spanish doctors and pleaded with his son not to remove the tube he inserted.
Officials from China, who confirmed the painful denial, had no choice but to step up. The Chinese embassy in Spain made it clear that it would come to the hospital to continue treatment, and along with its original team, Beijing Guoan, paved the way for Guo Jiaxian to return to China through a medical charter.
The Beijing Football Association's response to the off-season training was controversial after the unfortunate news broke. The Guo Jiaxuan family promised to provide medical expenses after returning home, but the agreement states that they are only responsible for local treatment and return costs in Spain. In addition, suspicions arose that he did not purchase the full amount of insurance related to player accidents during the off-season training and dealt with it with general traveler insurance. An official from the Beijing Football Association told the Southern City Daily that `the issue has been handled smoothly and we will do our best to ensure the cost of treatment.' Regarding insurance-related issues, he dismissed them as "just speculation" but did not disclose the details of the subscription.
Guo Jiashian is a defender born in 2006 who won the best player award in the Chinese youth league and the Chinese Super League youth tournament. In 2023, he was selected for China's under-17 national team, and in June of that year, Kim Min-jae's team, Bayern Munich World Team, was the only Chinese player to be selected. It adds to the regret that Kim Min-jae was a promising defender of Beijing Guoan's youth team, where he played before entering Europe.
Guo Jiashian's father said in an interview with a local Chinese media that `Many people say that there is no hope in brain death.' But my son is my pride, my everything. How can you give up so easily. I will not give up as long as I can see the light of hope.', he said in a desperate denial (父情). Even among Chinese netizens, there are supportive comments such as 'Heartbreaking' and 'I hope a miracle will happen'.
