Despite England's loss at Euro 2008 Qualifier, Chinese fans
welcomed the superstar with applause, flowers and screams. They
also discovered one vital difference between him and his celebrity
wife - he kept smiling!
After arriving at the airport around 10:30am, Beckham first
appeared at the launch conference of a luxury-edition mobile phone
at Beijing's Kerry Center Hotel at noon. He answered only two
questions from reporters, first, that Victoria didn't come with him
because she is rehearsing for her Spice Girl's concert, and
secondly that he will continue to serve England although it is not
going to compete in Euro 2008.
Later, the star took an interview from Chinese web portal
sina.com, spent one hour filming a variety show for Hunan Satellite
TV Station, and left China around 3 o'clock.
