In the richness of Chinese culture, Go is not only an intellectual competition, but also a cultural inheritance. Since ancient times, Go has been regarded as a tool for self-cultivation, and its combination of competitiveness and artistry has attracted the input of countless chess players. At the end of the 20th century, the status of Chinese Go in the international arena gradually emerged, especially in the confrontation with Japan, showing the rise of Chinese chess players. Chang Hao, a legend in the world of Go, has a career that is not only a record of a series of victories, but also an emotionally rich journey. This article will show the life trajectory of an unknown Go master through the deep master-apprentice relationship between Chang Hao and his master Nie Weiping and the marriage story under the opposition of his mentor.
In a modest Go classroom in Beijing, young Chang Hao is playing a game. Opposite sat his mentor Nie Weiping, a chess master with a great reputation in the Go world. Chang Hao's gaze was focused and firm, and every move was extremely cautious. Nie Weiping frowned, as if he was thinking about a deeper chess strategy. After a game of chess, Nie Weiping finally spoke: "Hao'er, your progress is very fast, but Go is not just as simple as winning chess, it is also a kind of cultivation. ”
"Master, I understand what you mean, and I will work harder. Chang Hao replied respectfully. This is not only a respect for the art of chess, but also a reflection of the deep affection for the master.
Fast forward to a winter in 1996, Tokyo. As a member of the Chinese Go team, Chang Hao participated in the 11th NEC Cup China-Japan Go Tournament. This is a contest between Chinese and Japanese chess players, and it is also an important turning point in Chang Hao's career. At that time, he faced the Japanese chess player Hideo Otake, a seasoned veteran. The game was extremely intense, and the breath of the spectators was almost absorbed by the tense atmosphere of the chess game.
Chang Hao remembered what his master once said: "On the chessboard, every son has a soul." It was this belief that allowed him to show astonishing composure and precision in his game. In the end, in the middle game, Otake Hero couldn't find a flaw, so he had no choice but to throw in the towel. This is not only Chang Hao's victory, but also marks the rise of Chinese Go in the world.
Chang Hao's life is not only about Go. His personal life is equally dramatic, especially his romance with Zhang Xuan. Zhang Xuan, eight years older than Chang Hao, is his predecessor and his youthful vision. Although Master Nie Weiping objected to the relationship, fearing that the difference in age and the relationship between master and apprentice would affect Chang Hao, Chang Hao insisted on his choice as if he were firm in every move on the chessboard.
"Hao'er, why are you so hard? It's not easy on the road to Go, why do you want to add emotional entanglements?" Nie Weiping worriedly persuaded Chang Hao after learning about this emotion.
Chang Hao looked back at Master, his eyes were full of firmness and tenderness, "Master, I understand your worries, but Zhang Xuan is not only a lover to me, but also a pillar of my spirit. I believe that with her in my life, I can become a better chess player. ”
Despite facing the opposition, Chang Hao and Zhang Xuan's relationship still developed. Although the married life of the two is ordinary, it is full of mutual understanding and support. Zhang Xuan not only silently supports Chang Hao every time he competes, but also gives Chang Hao the most powerful help when he faces difficulties.
A particular example occurred when Chang Hao was caught up in a real estate lawsuit. Zhang Xuan not only used his legal knowledge to help Chang Hao, but also accompanied him to participate in tedious mediation meetings many times. With Zhang Xuan's efforts, this dispute was finally resolved satisfactorily, and Chang Hao cherished this partnership by love even more.
Year after year, Chang Hao's chess skills continue to improve, and he has won many great results at home and abroad. In his private life, the relationship with Zhang Xuan has gradually been accepted by the outside world and has become a good story in the Go world. Chang Hao said in an interview: "Life is like chess, and I am glad that I chose the right opponent on the chessboard of life." ”
Chang Hao's story is not only a history of Go's victory, but also a story about love, perseverance and growth. His experience tells us that true victory is not only about winning the game, but also about how to play every move well in the big picture of life. Love in his life is like a wonderful step on the chessboard, although the future is uncertain, but the intention is to win. This love of life and dedication to Go constitute a complex and beautiful picture, which makes people realize the true meaning of life in touching.
