Li Xiaoqiang held the things that Fujisawa Hideyuki gave him like a baby. The stuff was light and tightly wrapped. Li Xiaoqiang pinched it with his hand, as if it was a book or a few pieces of paper.

"What is it? The internal strength method is still a martial arts cheat. ”

The time was in a hurry, and Li Xiaoqiang didn't have time to open it in person. In the midst of gains and losses, Li Xiaoqiang got on the plane back to China.

A person, when he is not sure about something. There's always going to be a bit of a gain and a loss. The more you care about something, the more serious this mindset becomes.

What does Li Xiaoqiang care about most now? Of course, I was thinking about how to effectively improve my Go skills. Although I definitely won't believe that there are really any martial arts cheats, there is always a little expectation in my heart. Therefore, I attach great importance to the things on my hand, and I am so important that I am not willing to take them apart and look at them on the plane.

The Go team returned to the capital first. This time I went to Japan to compete well, and the most important ring match was won by the Chinese side for the second time in a row. At present, there are still two people left on the Chinese side, Ma Xiaofei and Nie Whirlwind, and four more people on the Japanese side, including Otake and Takemiya, and the other two are Hiroshi Yamashiro and Takeshi Sakai.

Sakai is not very famous, and his selection is entirely due to the fact that he won 2-0 against Jiang Zhujiu in the Sino-Japanese Go match last year. Because in the first ring match, Jiang Zhujiu once won 5 consecutive victories. Therefore, the Japanese Chess Academy deliberately arranged a "bitter hand" of Jiang Zhujiu in the 2nd lineup. This kind of thinking is also normal in the formation of troops.

When they were at the airport, the group was warmly welcomed. Of course, the protagonist is Ma Xiaofei, who has won two consecutive matches in the ring, and Li Xiaoqiang has also received a lot of attention, and his popularity is only greater than Ma Xiaofei. The momentary scenery also faintly overshadowed the Nie whirlwind.

"11-year-old Chinese boy defeated the World Go Champion"

"In the early rehearsal of the ring match, the Chinese prodigy defeated the Japanese coach Otake Hero"

Anyway, at this time, many Chinese people are not very familiar with Go. A group of reporters led by Zhang Zhidong can toss as much as they want, and they can change concepts as much as they like.

Compared with the victory over Dazhu, everyone is more interested in Li Xiaoqiang's victory over the Imamura civilization. The reason is naturally because Imamura Civilization has the aura of "Champion of the World Realm" on his head.

Two years ago, China won its first gold medal at the Olympics. Chinese people have an unusual enthusiasm for the "World Champion", and the 80s are more like an ideal era than later generations. Everyone is simple and full of ideals.

Let's go back to the training bureau under the National Sports Commission. Once again, he was welcomed by everyone, and this time Li Xiaoqiang saw a face that was very familiar in later generations. That is Yu Bin Liuduan, the head coach of the Chinese Go team in later generations. At this time, Yu Bin was less than 20, but his level also improved rapidly, and in the domestic chess world, he was counted behind the "Five Tiger Generals".

Yu Bin is a versatile person, not only good at chess, but also a master of computer programming with a wide range of hobbies. He has a nickname called "Second Millennium", and he has won a lot of runners-up, but there are few championships. He himself often laughs at himself because he has too many hobbies and does not work hard enough in Go, so his grades are not good.

Li Xiaoqiang actually disagrees with his own statement. In 2000, Yu Bin became the second world champion after Ma Xiaofei. There were 5 years between them, and that period was the lowest ebb of Chinese Go. The four kings of South Korea, led by Li Shifo, have unlimited scenery in the chess world in the world, attacking the city all the way, and are invincible. Yu Bin can snatch the next world champion under such circumstances, and it must be modest to say that he does not work hard. The main thing is that the "view of Go" is incorrect.

Yu Bin greeted Li Xiaoqiang affectionately and asked about Li Xiaoqiang's situation in Japan. A "self-cooked" look. Yu Bin is also a member of the national team, but this is the first time he has met Li Xiaoqiang.

"Am I so familiar with you?"

Li Xiaoqiang was secretly strange in his heart, and suddenly remembered Yu Bin's other nickname, and suddenly everything was relieved.

Yu Bin was a little younger than the Five Tiger Generals and older than the Seven Little Dragons. At his age, Go talent is a bit withered. So in the Go team, he didn't have many peers. Interestingly, he didn't like to hang out with the guys who were a few years older than him. would rather play with Chang Rensheng and them, his best friend is Chang Rensheng, who is nine years younger than him. So some people jokingly called him the "children's leader" of the Go team.

Li Xiaoqiang sometimes thinks about it funny, a young man in his early 20s, mingling with 12 or 3-year-old children every day. Such a person must be relatively pure, and he will definitely be a good man in the future. In fact, Yu Bin in later generations is indeed a good man.

"You young man wants to be the head of the children's team, but I, the real head of the children's group, want to change with you, otherwise, in the future, you will come to the national junior team, and I will go to the national team."

Li Xiaoqiang was YY in his heart, and he naturally mingled with Yu Bin.

On the second day, the Chinese Go Association really issued a rank certificate to Li Xiaoqiang. As Li Xiaoqiang expected, he became a professional three-dan Go player. Chen Chaoyue, chairman of the Go Association, personally handed the certificate to Li Xiaoqiang.

"Come on!"

Li Xiaoqiang, who was reborn once, knew that in the later life, the rank certificate was no longer so important. However, after receiving the certificate, Li Xiaoqiang couldn't help but be a little excited.

"That dream of mine can finally continue to be done justifiably."

Li Xiaoqiang himself doesn't value this rank certificate. However, he knew that there are still many people who value this thing in this era. At least his mother, Mr. Hu Ping, will be very happy. The professional third dan, if you compare it with the level of other athletes, it doesn't seem to be low.

The set of things in the rank was actually moved from the Japanese. Originally, China also had its own set of "taste" system called Go, which was divided in great detail from the nine grades of "clumsy" to the first grade of "entering the spirit".

In Li Xiaoqiang's view, this set of things left by his country's ancestors is actually very good, at least it is more literate than Japan's rank system. Taiwan has always maintained such a system. But there is no way, who calls the current Chinese Go weak. Then we have to be "in line with international standards".

There is generally an unwritten rule in the rank system, that is, more than five dan is considered a high dan and less than four dan is considered a low dan . Just like the "job title", the fourth and fifth paragraphs are a relatively big difference. The fifth paragraph is considered a senior title, and the fourth paragraph or less is considered an intermediate title. This custom was also brought from Japan.

In the past, in Japan's ascension system, there were nine steps from one to nine dans. In fact, there are 10 steps secretly. This "dark step" is in the fourth section, which is divided into "four sections up" and "four sections down". The third stage rises and the fourth stage is first "four sections down", and then "four sections up",

The last five stages of the raise.

So it was agreed that more than five paragraphs are considered high sections, and the following are low sections. In this era, rank is still very important. Three paragraphs of their own, Luo Shen Pig and their initial paragraphs, although they are all low paragraphs, but don't underestimate the difference between these two paragraphs. In terms of treatment and chances of playing, it can be very different.

got the rank certificate, but Li Xiaoqiang's "establishment" is still in the Ganyuan Provincial Go team. Li Xiaoqiang said that the national youth team and the national youth team will not be formed until next year. So during this time, Li Xiaoqiang had to go back to the province.

Li Xiaoqiang has also been mentally prepared for a long time. Think about it, Nie Whirlwind can play chess when he stays in the "Great Northern Wilderness". Anyway, the time is not very long, and I can indeed try to see if there is a possibility of raising chess without playing chess.

The things that Fujisawa Hideyuki sent Li Xiaoqiang still didn't open, and he decided to take a look at it when he went home.

"What is it?"

Li Xiaoqiang is looking forward to it.

There's a lot to do back home. For example, the next volume of the "Celestial Dragon Diagram". In the first two volumes, Li Xiaoqiang thought that he was in a bit of a hurry. For the last 333 life-and-death questions, Li Xiaoqiang decided to pick a good one. My current level of Go should have improved a little, and my understanding of the difficulty of life-and-death problems should also be a little deeper. Really pick out some difficult questions. If possible, it's best to have a name for each question. This is more ancient.

Thinking of going home, Li Xiaoqiang couldn't sit still.

"Zhao Dabao and Lin Mengyu, what are they doing now?"

Li Xiaoqiang remembered his childhood friend.
