Ita Kiki defeated Da Li to enter the finals, which made the Japanese side still very happy, after all, how many years, anyway, since Li Xiangping came through, except for the first year he just passed, because he was too late to participate in the World Series, Wang Licheng Jiudan won a world championship.

And after that, Japanese chess players are not to say that they are champions, and they have participated in the finals for a long time, a real "long time"!

It may be for this long absence, so after the end of the competition, the organizers specially hosted a "farewell dinner------

This has not been done in the past, and it is not in line with the practice of the Professional Go World Championship, so this time, everyone knows that this banquet is actually held exclusively for Yitian.

The South Koreans knew this, and they politely declined to attend, considering that both of their players had been eliminated.

Of course, the Chinese side doesn't care, in the words of Team Leader Hua, since someone has invited them to dinner, why don't they go? There is no need to give gifts for such a dinner, and if you don't go in vain.

Everyone thinks about it, especially Lao Xie, who is even more shameless, and the team leader of Renhua just thinks of eating for nothing, but this guy has risen directly to the moral height.

According to this guy, it is very rude to refuse someone's invitation, how can we do such an impolite thing like Koreans?

So in this way, everyone was defeated by Lao Xie's shamelessness, and all the accompanying reporters pretended to be members of the Chinese delegation and happily started the journey of eating for nothing.

Of course, let's eat for nothing, the priority is still clear, I know that today's absolute protagonist, it must be Yitian Jiji, so after entering the venue, even Li Xiangping was very conscious, he took the initiative to mix with Zhang Da, reporter Lao Xie and others, and watched Yitian in the center of the stage being held by a group of Japanese stars.

"Tsk, don't say it, Yitian Tiger's appearance is still quite good, he looks quite tall, a cut taller than the Japanese around him."

Reporter Zhang Da glanced at Li Xiangping: "It's not short, the information says that he is 1.8 meters, of course he is tall among the Japanese." ”

When reporter Zhang Da said this, Lao Xie, who was sitting on the other side, also came up and gossiped:

"Hehe, among the Japanese, Yitian is of course dignified, but there is another reason why he is sought after by many Japanese, and even known as the "crown prince" of Japanese Go when he first debuted. ”

Li Xiangping turned to Lao Xie: "Isn't it because he is outstanding in chess?" ”

"Hey! What kind of chess is he outstanding, Yitian only entered the section at the age of 14, which is too late in the eyes of the Japanese, and he has only won a few "celebrities" in the 'big triple crown' so far, so Xiangping think about it, how can a chess player with such qualifications as him wear the hat of "crown prince" when he first entered the section? ”

Li Xiangping thought about it, from a certain point of view, Yitian's chess talent is really not outstanding, for example, just look at his nicknames, what "tiger", what "crown prince", this is actually nothing to do with the characteristics of chess style, far less impressive than "cosmic flow", "Tiansha Star" and the like.

But how can this kind of chess player, who has no characteristics and only entered the dan at the age of 14, be sought after by the Japanese? Li Xiangping couldn't understand it, he humbly asked Lao Xie for advice:

"What the hell is the reason for that?"

Lao Xie smiled slightly: "Isn't there a saying now, it's called appearance is justice, this is no exception in the Go world, Yi Tian can be sought after since he was a child, and his appearance is of course a big advantage, but this is not the key, the real key is ....... Xiangping, you see, Yitian is not a lap leg. ”

Li Xiangping was stunned, but after listening to Lao Xie's words, he still turned his head to observe, and found that Yitian Jiudan really didn't seem to be the kind of looped legs that are common in the Japanese

However, he is still confused: is it not Luo Quanleg who can become the "crown prince" of the Japanese chess world? What kind of logic is this?

However, although Li Xiangping was confused, reporter Zhang Da was not confused, he also turned his head to observe it, and smiled at Lao Xie; By the way, Ita seems to have been born in Hokkaido, so is he a Japanese "Chinese"? ”

Lao Xie smiled: "Hehe, it doesn't matter if he is Chinese or not, the important thing is that he is really not a Luo lap leg, and he is also dignified, which is enough in the eyes of the Japanese, and he is qualified to be the crown prince........"

When Lao Xie talked about this, he was still confused when he saw Li Xiangping, so he leaned closer and whispered to Li Xiangping to explain.

And under Lao Xie's eloquent words, Li Xiangping also roughly understood what was going on:

The "Chinese" in Japan originated from the Song Dynasty in our country, or it was mainly born in that period.

At that time, the Japanese admired our Chinese culture quite a lot, and the degree of admiration even exceeded that of those elite Japanese elements in our country in later generations.

To what extent do they admire? Admiring the separatist regimes in almost all parts of Japan at that time (they called themselves daimyo), these "daimyo" had sent a large number of young Japanese women to our country in a planned way.

As for the role of these Japanese women, well, in vulgar terms, it is called "borrowing seeds", which is to be more elegant, this is called "genetic modification program", and it is a "planned genetic modification program".

And this, in fact, is the origin of the Japanese "Chinese".

Not only that, but from the day of its birth, the Japanese "Chinese" have naturally been superior to others in Japanese society.

How high? A very simple example might be very revealing:

If he was close to a certain "daimyo" in Hokkaido at that time, he gave birth to a son himself, and then he sent a concubine to China to borrow a seed and help him give birth to a "Chinese".

So which of these two children will be the focus of training? Which one to choose as the heir?

It may be difficult for others to choose, and even difficult to understand, but for the Japanese at that time, it was not a problem at all: they naturally chose the child with the "blood of the Celestial Empire", and felt that this was a good face, and if there were not a few "Chinese" in the family, they would be embarrassed to greet others at the daimyo party.

It was this unique and distorted set of values that brought up another problem at the time:

Since you also say that you are "Chinese" and he also says "Chinese", then who can prove that you are true? You don't deliberately brag about it because you're afraid of being looked down upon, right?

At the very beginning, this matter was quite easy to solve, that is, the daimyo found that these children with the "blood of the Heavenly Empire" are different, and among them, the phenomenon of looping legs is generally smaller.

So in this way, "Luo Huan Leg" has become a very important criterion for judging "Chinese".

However, as time went by, and the number of "Chinese" in Japan increased, the daimyo discovered another problem------

You must know that the genes of the Japanese are also very strong, especially the gene of Luo Quanjiao, which is even difficult to modify my Chinese bloodline.

So there is a phenomenon; That is, hundreds of years later, there are more and more loops among the Japanese "Chinese".

It is said that it is for this reason that this has laid the root of the bane for future generations, and it is rumored that Japan's Toyotomi Hideyoshi is such a Luo lap leg, so everyone can imagine: Toyotomi Hideyoshi when he was young was bitter in his heart, he had to endure the contempt of other non-Luo lap leg "Chinese", and he was more likely to be suspected by some people, thinking that he was not a "Chinese" at all.

What Lao Xie said, once again, is just what Lao Xie said in the "sports world": he said that it was probably for this reason that Toyotomi Hideyoshi's mentality was distorted again, and after he took power, he actually hated China, and then started with a series of hostile policies.

"Hahaha......."

Fortunately, this is a public place after all, so after listening to Lao Xie's eloquent talk, Li Xiangping still couldn't help laughing.

And after he listened to Lao Xie's gossip, his gaze at Yitian was already different:

“...... Well, it's no wonder that in the past ten years, even many Chinese chess fans feel friendly when they look at Yitian, which should also have something to do with the fact that he is not a Luo Quanleg, right? So is he a Chinese, a Chinese, or a Chinese......"

Just when Li Xiangping was thinking about it like this, reporter Zhang Da reminded him:

"Xiangping, pay attention, now that Yitian has mentioned you, you should be invited by the host soon."

"Oh? So what did he say about me? ”

Reporter Zhang Da smiled slightly: "They are all praising you, and comparing you with Ben Yin Fang Xiurong.......

"Xiurong? That so-young who is called a "celebrity" in "celebrity"? ”

Reporter Zhang Da nodded: "In the minds of many Japanese, they compare Xiurong and Xiu Ce, the so-called "Xiu Ce who holds black, Xiu Rong who holds white", this is what he means, and Yitian Jiji is Xiurong's brain-dead fan, and it is the most determined brain-dead fan, for example, he just said that more than a year ago, his favorite chess player was Ben Yinfang Xiurong, almost every night to look at Xiurong's chess games, and every time I look at it, it is pleasing to the eye and happy, I feel that as long as I look at the chess games, I can play chess, But in the last year or so, he has begun to look at your chess games, and said that your chess games are better, more durable, and more shocking to him....... Okay, okay, Xiangping won't talk about it, the host is already calling you......."

It's a pity that today's host is not Aunt Uezawa, so after being invited to the stage, Li Xiangping couldn't understand it at all in the face of the host's grunt, and when the translator said the last sentence, he forgot the previous sentence again, so when the microphone was handed to him, he really didn't know what to say for a while.

"Hehe, actually, since I was little...... I really like to see Mr. Ita wearing a kimono, so I hope that by the time I reach the finals, I can still see Mr. Izuku wearing a kimono......."

"Haha, good! .......”

After the interpreter finished relaying Li Xiangping's speech, it attracted a burst of applause and cheers.

and made Li Xiangping stunned again: For a speech like mine, can you also have such treatment?
