52

There was a man, who had so great a bravery to be the first pioneer of joining the minor league, and fighted for the tiny possibility of advancing to Major League Baseball. However, he was unlucky. Every factor seemed to block his path to M.L.B. After seven years struggle in America, he returned to Taiwan and joined C.P.B.L. (Chinese Professional Baseball League) in 2006. But, instead of being admired for his experience in America, what made him have the high status as a god in the heart of baseball fans in Taiwan is his amazing performence in many international games. Everytime, he used homerun to tell the fans in Taiwan: No matter how great our opponent team was, and how difficult it was to win the game, if we never gave up, there was always possibilities. The man's name, is C.C.F, Chen Chin-Feng.
I still cannot tell clearly about the reason why I always feel moved when thinking of his performence in the past. I like to search his homerun video on the internet when I meet obstacles in my daily life. Feeling the nervous atmosphere in the ball game, looking the little white ball flying out from the home base and then falling on the ground outside the field, listening the crowds' shouting, I can re-experience his glorious time over and over again. It gives me strength and recover the energy to have faith in life. Really, it does work everytime. I'm not a person who is easy to cry, but through watching his homerun video and those music videos which are made for him, I usually have tears in my eyes. And then I realized, they are not only the thing which is called "homerun" in baseball, they are images of the swinging of life strength.
Now he is 31 years old, which is the golden age of a power batter like him. I hope he can still play in the field for another ten years, or even more. If the day of his retire finally come, I think I will never forget the spirit inside the number 52, which I always see on that reliable back.
He is Chen Chin-Feng, the hero in my deep heart.

(This the best music video made for him I have ever seen on the internet!)
