"Kaka also came to Rongjiang once. The influence of the Village Super League just got bigger," villager Yang Zhenjiang said, referring to the Brazilian soccer star's visit in May.
Kaka said in a video earlier that he was invited by the China Friendship Foundation for Peace and Development and a Chinese smartphone brand to take part in the "Chasing Dreams" charity soccer event, which aimed to promote local youth soccer and the development of the Village Super League.
After arriving in Rongjiang, Kaka experienced the local tradition of drinking homemade rice wine. He was also treated to Guizhou's ethnic performances.
