La joven china, y el hincha argentino detrás de ella, en plena Copa América

Overview

  • Ailing Hou has traveled to Argentina twice over the past year and remains without any response from River Plate, Boca Juniors, Vélez Sarsfield or the Argentine Football Association Her second visit in July 2025 has taken her through Salta, Mendoza, Ushuaia and Córdoba as she studies local fan scenes for the young defender
  • She first reached out during a March–April trip to Buenos Aires stadiums and the AFA, showing photos and letters but finding no leads
  • Her quest began after an unnamed Argentine intervened to shield her from racist harassment by Colombian fans at the June 2024 Copa América final
  • If she locates him, she plans to recite memorized words of thanks and invite him on a fully funded ten-day trip to China as a gesture of friendship
