GUIYANG, China (Xinhua) -- Yang Laogan, better known as the grandpa of the Village Super League (VSL), was thrilled to recall his meeting with international football superstar Kaka on Monday evening. "We met Kaka on the sidelines and gave him a set of gifts, including a Miao batik scarf and a batik coat," said Yang, who is from Baibei Village, a remote Miao village in southwest China's Guizhou Province. Having spent most of his life in the deep mountainous area before the tournament went viral last year, the VSL changed his life and brought the Baibei Village into a new chapter.
