Because Fang Hong gradually deliberately did what he liked, and he put forward some views on the development of Go in later generations, Wu Qingyuan gradually chatted with him warmly. Fang Hong gradually saw that the atmosphere was okay, so he asked, "Mr. Wu, can I ask you a little question other than Go?" ”

Wu Qingyuan nodded and replied: "Of course you can, but I'm very boring, and I usually don't have anything to say except for playing chess." ”

Fang Hong gradually hesitated for a moment, and then asked a question that had been bothering him for a long time: "Mr. Wu, as far as I know, Mr. Wu, you were born in a wealthy family in Fujian, and you have already made a name for yourself in the chess world when you were young, you are known as a prodigy in the chess world, and you were hired as a chess player by Duan Qirui, you should have a bright future, but why did you leave your nationality and join Japan?" ”

Wu Qingyuan smiled bitterly: "Our Wu family was indeed a Fujian salt merchant in the early years, and the family was well-off, but by my father's generation, there was only one shelf left, and my father was still a concubine, and he had no status in the family, so he lived a very hard life, and later he was fortunate to be appreciated by Premier Duan and subsidized 100 silver dollars a month." However, at that time, there were civil wars in my country, and there were very few people who played chess, so it was not suitable for the development of chess players at all, so when my teacher Kensaku Sekoshi wanted to bring me to Japan, I agreed, because Japan was stable at that time, the atmosphere of Go was strong, and the income was good, which was very suitable for the development of a chess player. ”

Fang Hong gradually frowned and thought for a while, and then asked: "It's normal for you to go east to Japan for the development of Go, but why do you want to become a Japanese citizen?" Don't you know that China and Japan are now in a state of war, the hatred between the two sides has become thick and irreconcilable, and smart people are afraid to hide from it, why did you still get into it, and this time you also served as a Sino-Japanese friendship ambassador to comfort the Japanese army, to be honest, you really can't understand what you do. ”

Fang Hongji's words seemed to ask Wu Qingyuan's sore spot, he closed his eyes and thought calmly for a long time, then suddenly raised his head and looked at Fang Hongjian with wide eyes and said, "If I say that I am just here to play chess, can you understand?" ”

Fang Hong gradually shook his head and said, "I don't understand. ”

Wu Qingyuan looked a little excited and said: "I'm just a chess player who likes to play chess, politically I don't want to figure out these things, and I can't figure it out, I joined the Japanese nationality, just to be able to play chess quietly with some chess masters, and at the same time I can rely on chess to support my family, as for participating in the chess team this time, this is my job, I can't refuse and avoid." Why doesn't everyone understand me and call me a traitor?

In fact, in my opinion, it is only a matter of time before China is ruled by Japan, you see that now half of China has fallen into the hands of the Japanese, and even the powerful Americans have suffered such a big loss as Pearl Harbor at the hands of the Japanese, not to mention that Japan still has the invincible Germans as allies in Europe, so I really don't understand why China is still making useless resistance? Wouldn't it be good to directly build the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere together and realize coexistence and co-prosperity together? ”

Wu Qingyuan's first half of Fang Hongjian can still be understood to some extent, as a chess player, he doesn't want to participate in politics, he just wants to play chess with peace of mind, although it is a luxury in this troubled era, but in general, it can't be wrong, but his second half of the words made Fang Hongjian unacceptable.

Although Zhou Fohai and Chu Minyi usually talk about Sino-Japanese friendship, coexistence and common prosperity in public, they don't believe this when they drink in private, but they have to say this at the meeting because of their identity, but the Wu Qingyuan in front of him looks like he has really been brainwashed by the Japanese, this is from the bottom of his heart to believe that Japan's rule over China is inevitable, but at this time, Fang Honggradually can't educate him with the trend of history, first, the Japanese army is now at its peak, It is estimated that no one will believe him when he says that Japan and Germany will be defeated, and secondly, he is not familiar with Wu Qingyuan after all, and if he tells the Japanese official who led the team about this, it will also be a troublesome matter.

So Fang Hong had no choice but to secretly put his anger in his stomach, shook his head helplessly and stood up and said: "Mr. Wu, although I admire your achievements in chess, I really feel that you and I are not all the way, sorry for the interruption!" ”

Seeing that Fang Hong, who was still chatting with him warmly just now, suddenly became frosty, Wu Qingyuan asked puzzledly, "Mr. Fang, what's wrong with you?" Am I saying something wrong? ”

"It's hard to see if it's wrong, but I'm sure time will tell." After saying that, he turned around and left with his wine glass.

Only Wu Qingyuan was left muttering on the spot: "This guy is really a weirdo." ”

After returning home, Fang Hong gradually told Wang Jiazhi about Wu Qingyuan, and Wang Jiazhi said angrily after hearing it: "There can still be such a person? To be honest, husband, if I hadn't married you now, and I hadn't left any descendants for your Fang family, I really wanted to kill this dog traitor now! ”

Fang Hong gradually hurriedly stopped her and persuaded: "Forget it, it doesn't matter if such a person dies or not, you don't have to take risks for him, it's just a pity that his achievements in Go, I can't figure it out, how can a person who can see the general trend clearly on the chessboard be like a blind person in reality?" ”

Unexpectedly, Wang Jiazhi sighed and said: "Hey, in fact, don't say it's him, now even I don't dare to imagine what China will look like in the future, that is, you insisted that the Japanese will definitely get out in four years, which left me a little hope." ”

"Don't worry, four years later, before the end of 1945, the Japanese will get out! Believe me! I don't know why when he said this, Fang Hongji's mind suddenly remembered the wonderful sentence when he watched the anti-Japanese drama in his previous life, "Comrades, the eight-year War of Resistance has begun!" ”

Fortunately, Wang Jiazhi didn't know what he was thinking, so he snuggled into his arms and whispered: "Of course I definitely believe you, are you my man?" ”

PS: In 1932, Wu Qingyuan proposed to become a Japanese citizen, but was unanimously opposed by overseas Chinese in Japan and the Chinese embassy (if you want to become a Japanese citizen, you must cancel your own nationality), and even his teacher, Mr. Segoshi, did not support it. At this time, the tenacity and perseverance of Wu Qingyuan's character were vividly displayed. After four years of unremitting struggle and the use of various connections, it was finally Kamishiro Shimizu of the Japanese Foreign Ministry who approached the Chinese embassy and threatened and intimidated him, so that the Chinese side was afraid to give up Wu Qingyuan's nationality.
