Chapter 1: The Soul of Chess

Next Chapter

In 1983, just after New Year's Day, Hong Kong was in ruins, especially the negotiations between the United Kingdom and the mainland since last year. Margaret Thatcher's visit to China has left countless Hong Kong people watching, after all, this is a negotiation on the future of Hong Kong.

Han Ziguang can be sure that the agreement on the return of Xiangjiang will be officially signed next year, and this qiē has nothing to do with him, after all, as a reborn person, what he has to do now is not to think about those national affairs, but to work hard for survival.

In fact, Han Ziguang has been reborn for three months, and these days, he has been observing and learning Cantonese, and he has found that his brain is very good now, and he is just eighteen years old this year, graduated from high school, and he is worried about the tuition of college.

Han Ziguang found that the situation at home was very difficult, there were five brothers and sisters in the family, and he was the third, and there was a younger brother and a younger sister below, and his family ran a Go club, teaching some children and Go enthusiasts Go, which can be regarded as a scholarly family.

In the past, Han Ziguang's grandfather was also a national player, and the family's Go club had a prosperous business, but since Han Ziguang's grandfather died, the family has fallen into the middle, and the current political situation is unknown, so naturally people are panicked, and there is not much business, and the family barely relies on their previous savings to survive.

Han Ziguang's two elder brothers, one helps out in the Go club, and the other studies medicine abroad, so he naturally has no spare energy to let him go to college.

"Dad! I want to borrow money from you and go into business on my own. Han Ziguang glanced at Father Han, who was sitting there with a frown, and finally said in a deep voice.

"How much to borrow!?" Father Han glanced at Han Ziguang, he knew that he was ashamed of Han Ziguang, and couldn't help but groan.

"Three thousand!" Han Ziguang thought for a moment and said.

"What kind of business?" Father Han was stunned for a moment, three thousand yuan is not a small amount, and it is also a big burden on the family.

"I want to start a comic club." Han Ziguang raised his head and said with burning eyes.

"Comics Club?!" Father Han couldn't help frowning and said, "Are you sure you can make money?" ”

Comics are children's stuff for adults, especially now in the world of martial arts novels, or science fiction novels, which are represented by Jin Yong and Ni Frame, Jin Yong has sealed his pen and runs Ming Pao, and Ni Frame's Wesley series has always been very popular.

"I feel like I can do it." Han Ziguang thought for a while, went back to the house and took a very thick bundle of papers, and put it in front of Han's father.

"Chess Soul!? What is it? Father Han looked at the front in front of him, the neat two big characters of the chess soul, and said curiously.

"Actually, I've been preparing for the start of a comic club for a long time." Han Ziguang pondered for a while and said: "This is the manuscript I have drawn in the past two months, it is a comic with Go as the background, and now Huang Yulang and Shangguan Xiaobao's cartoons are mainly based on fighting and killing, and I will find another way, with the quintessence of Go as the background, strong and prominent, and it is not impossible to stand with Huang Yulang and Shangguan Xiaobao in Xiangjiang at that time." ”

The threshold for comics entry is low, and the most representative of them is Ma Rongcheng, who stepped into the comic industry at the age of 14 and created "Chinese Heroes" at the age of 21, and became the best-selling comic in Xiangjiang and one of the representatives of Xiangjiang comics.

Han's father couldn't help but be stunned, looking at Han Ziguang with a confident face, he couldn't help but pick up the "Chess Soul" comic and read it together, and this look was fascinated, he really didn't expect Han Ziguang to have such a painter, and he didn't expect that the understanding of Go in it was so profound.

In fact, how did Han's father know that Han Ziguang was completely stolen from later generations, but he changed the background and moved the location from Japan to Xiangjiang, and the most important thing is to turn Fujiwara Sawei into the background, and changed it to the famous Yi Qiu in history, and Yi Qiu once attached to the Huang Longshi in the early Qing Dynasty caused a great change in the style of Go, and was respected and called the chess saint.

Han Xiaoguang, a sixth-grade student in modern primary school, went to his grandfather's house to hunt for treasure in order to earn pocket money, but turned out an old chessboard. However, Han Xiaoguang didn't expect that there seemed to be blood stains on the old chessboard, and when he touched the bloodstains, a chess player from the Spring and Autumn Era appeared from the chessboard-Yi Qiu.

Yi Qiu is possessed by Xiaoguang's body, he regards it as his life, and under his influence, Xiaoguang gradually develops a strong interest in it.

Xiaoguang met Nie Liang, the son of a national player in the Go world, in the Go Club. In order to test Yi Qiu's strength, Xiao Guang rashly played against Nie Liang, and the result was naturally slightly better, but he didn't know Nie Liang's identity, and mistakenly thought that Yi Qiu's strength was sparse and ordinary, and he was very dissatisfied with it.

Nie Liang was hit hard, and then found Xiaoguang again and challenged him, but he was very angry by Xiaoguang's attitude, but this time Yi Qiu did not show mercy to his subordinates, and was helplessly defeated under Yi Qiu's hands, so he launched a charge to the higher level of Go again.

……

In Han Ziguang's memory, "Chess Soul" is not only a success, but also a sensational success. There has been a huge wave of "Chess Soul" throughout Japan, and even throughout Southeast Asia. In terms of business, "Chess Soul" is not only popular, but also sells wildly, with a cumulative sales of more than 18 million copies, and at this time, the sales of more than 100,000 copies in Xiangjiang can be considered a big hit, which shows its commercial value.

Han Ziguang does not regard comics as a tool to make money, but also as a career, since "Chess Soul" has so much commercial value, why should it be cheaper for others? What's more, "Chess Soul" has made a great contribution to the cause of Go, which can be said to be a matter of fame and fortune.

Time passed little by little, Father Han has been extremely concentrated, and Han Ziguang saw that Father Han was so serious, so he didn't bother, he knew that this was a work that could affect a generation, so he was not in a hurry, because the more Father Han looked at it, the more he liked it.

At dusk, every household has turned on the lights, and Han Ziguang's second brother Han Ziyu, as well as the fourth brother Han Ziliang, and the fifth sister Han Zixuan are also very curious about what Han's father is watching, and then they also follow behind to watch.

Han Ziguang was a comic lover in his previous life, and he learned a lot of painting for this, plus after being reborn, he became ingenious, and those things he saw can be said to be unforgettable, so those things that he has seen in later generations are deeply imprinted in his mind, and he naturally draws it out as soon as he moves his pen, and "Chess Soul" is one of his favorite comics, whether it is animation or comics, I have watched it no less than ten times, which can be described as a deep memory.

"Chess Soul" is not only very readable, but also has beautiful characters, especially Yi Qiu's handsome appearance in ancient costumes, coupled with his cute and brilliant character, which is deeply loved by people, and at this time, Han Ziguang painted the moment when Yi Qiu played with the national player Nie Wei for the first time.
