From footballer to importer of Uruguayan beef

León Li first discovered Uruguayan beef as a young man when he played football in Uruguay. He came from China and joined Danubio in 2004, where he was teammates with a young Edinson Cavani, among others. At that time, Li fell in love with Uruguayan beef, which he now considers “the best in the world.” Today, he imports it into China and sells it at a boutique meat shop in the city of Chengdu.
