Why does Meizhou have the title of hometown of culture, hometown of overseas Chinese and hometown of football?

Simply put.

The hometown of culture is because there are many literati in Meizhou history, such as, Qiu, Huang Zunxian and so on.

The hometown of overseas Chinese is because overseas Chinese from Meizhou are distributed in Southeast Asia, South Asia and other countries, accounting for a certain proportion in the country.

There are many football talents in Meizhou, among which Li Huitang, the Asian soccer king, is the representative. The development of football in Meizhou is also relatively early, which has sent a lot of football talents to the country and Guangdong Province.
