Aww....ya beat me to it! But you left out why it is that so many of England’s top goalies feel moved to write about the Yangtze.

For real: back in grade school we read about horrific floods that had killed millions of Chinese. Pearl Buck wrote a short story “The Old Demon” where an old woman opens a floodgate that drowns a Japanese column in the valley at the cost of her own life.

Floods and death are part of Chinese culture.
