Why is Zheng Dashi crying?

When the Korean national anthem was played, Zheng Dashi burst into tears. Many years later, people can forget North Korea's performance in this World Cup, but the tragic scene of Zheng Dashi's tears will become a permanent memory.

Zheng Dashi was born in Nagoya, Aichi, Japan on 1984. His parents are overseas Chinese living in Japan, so Zheng Dashi obtained Korean nationality. However, during the 16 years from elementary school to university, Zheng Dashi has been studying in the affiliated school of the Korean General Federation in Japan, so his spiritual motherland became Korea. Zheng Dashi was born and raised in Nagoya, Japan, and studied in Korean schools from elementary school to university. He is a third-generation overseas Chinese living in Japan (his grandfather's ancestral home is Yicheng, Gyeongsangbuk-do, South Korea), but he naturally regarded North Korea as his motherland since he was a child. Zheng Dashi applied to renounce Korean citizenship, but the South Korean government, which does not recognize North Korea as a sovereign country, did not accept the application. In other words, Zheng Dashi still has dual citizenship of Korea and North Korea.

After the game, Zheng Dashi sat alone on the court, his head buried between his legs for a long time, unwilling to leave, but this was nothing compared with the amazing scene of his tears before the game started. After the game, he accepted a brief interview arranged by FIFA, and he explained the reasons for his tears.

"I'm depressed. I didn't win the game. I'm sorry I didn't score. " He said first. "I have always dreamed of playing on such a stage, and now this rare opportunity is just around the corner, so I can't help crying when I hear the national anthem of North Korea before the game starts."
