In the world of Go, there is such a legend, he is not only famous for his superb chess skills, but also for a love story that transcends age and worldly vision, which makes people talk about it. This "Go genius" is our protagonist today - Chang Hao. Back then, the name Chang Hao was well-known in the Go world.
Born in Shanghai in 1976, he has shown a keen interest and talent for the game since he was a child. He began to learn chess at the age of 6, joined the Shanghai team at the age of 8, and was directly selected for the national youth training team at the age of 10. However, compared with his brilliant record on the chessboard, Chang Hao's love story is even more amazing.
It is said that this prince of Go, in the days of the national team, unexpectedly met his "aunt" - Zhang Xuan. That's right, you heard it right, it's my aunt! In terms of seniority, Zhang Xuan is Chang Hao's predecessor, and when Chang Hao first joined the team, Zhang Xuan was already a well-known genius girl in the Go world.
Zhang Xuan not only has superb chess skills, but also has a gentle and delicate heart, which undoubtedly adds more charm in Chang Hao's eyes. But this relationship was destined to be extraordinary from the beginning. Zhang Xuan is 8 years older than Chang Hao, and he also had a failed marriage, such a combination is undoubtedly "deviant" under the social concept at the time.
What's more, Chang Hao, as the star of hope in the Go world, touches the hearts of countless people with every step he takes. The leaders of the chess academy took turns to talk to him, hoping that he could put his career first and not be troubled by emotional problems. Chang Hao's parents are even more resolutely opposed, they think that Zhang Xuan is old and divorced, and he is not a good match for Chang Hao.
However, Chang Hao is a master who will not look back if he recognizes it. He firmly believes that true love is not affected by age, identity or even external public opinion. In the face of heavy pressure, Chang Hao did not flinch, but strengthened his determination to be with Zhang Xuan. He proved his choice with practical actions, not only made great achievements on the chessboard, but also gave Zhang Xuan meticulous care and support in life.
Finally, in 1999, the couple finally became married. Their wedding was not extravagant, there was no romantic wedding dress and diamond ring, but two loving hearts were closely connected and more precious than any material thing. After marriage, Zhang Xuan became Chang Hao's most solid backing, and she took care of the family's affairs, so that Chang Hao could devote himself to the Go career. And Chang Hao did not live up to Zhang Xuan's expectations, he continued to shine in the chess world, winning one world championship title after another.
Time flies like a white horse, and in the blink of an eye, this pair of "Condor Heroes" in the Go world has been walking hand in hand for more than 20 years. Their love has not only not faded with the passage of time, but has grown deeper. Today, Chang Hao has held an important position in the Chinese Go Association and has achieved a gorgeous transformation from a chess player to a leader. Although Zhang Xuan gradually faded out of the Go arena, her role at home is more important. She is not only Chang Hao's virtuous helper, but also the harbor of his soul.
Speaking of their daughter Chang Yue, it makes the couple even more proud. Although Chang Yue does not have much interest in Go, she loves swimming and long-distance running, and has shown extraordinary athletic talent. Although Chang Hao and Zhang Xuan hope that their daughter can inherit their mantle, they respect their daughter's choice more, and they only hope that their daughter can grow up healthy and happy.
Today, the story of Chang Hao and Zhang Xuan has become a good story in the Go world and even the entire sports world. Their love transcends age, identity, and worldly prejudices to prove that true love is invincible. Their story teaches us that in this uncertain world, nothing is impossible as long as there is love in the heart.
As the editor-in-chief of a sports magazine, I'm often moved by stories like this. In this fast-paced era, people are often swayed by various external factors and forget their inner voice. But Chang Hao and Zhang Xuan used their actions to tell us how important it is to insist on ourselves and pursue true love. Their story is not only a sports story, but also a hymn to love, courage and perseverance.
So, when you hear the name Chang Hao again, you might as well think more about the legendary love behind him. In this world full of challenges and opportunities, let us all be brave enough to pursue our true love! Just like Chang Hao and Zhang Xuan, no matter how noisy the outside world is, they all hold each other's hands tightly and walk through the ups and downs of life together.
