Feng Jin breaks a bone — 105 days out

Changchun Yatai supporters have found a favourite in Ma Boqing
There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 14-year-old it feels ownership of. Ma Boqing has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.
