I woke up this morning and saw the devastating news of passing away of Brazil’s legendary soccer star Pelé (full name Edson Arantes do Nascimento, 23 October 1940 – 29 December 2022).
Pelé has been a global icon. I am sure he will be dearly missed across countries and continents.
Pelé is very popular in China. In particular, I love soccer and will certainly miss him.
I am dedicating this post to Pelé. RIP.
