Gao Fengwen (Chinese: 高丰文; 23 November 1939 – 27 October 2020) was a Chinese football coach and an international football player.
Gao Fengwen was born in Kaiyuan. He was a promising young footballer[according to whom?] and would play for Liaoning FC before being called up to the Chinese national team in 1965 where he was honoured with being the team's captain.[1] The Chinese Cultural Revolution saw his career severely shortened and he was unable to play in any major international tournaments. He did, however, play in several small tournaments and was able to represent his country on several occasions before he retired.
