Chapter 256: Exquisite Drawing
During this afternoon's recess time, Zhao Dabao walked into the classroom with two Go magazines in his arms. Due to various factors, in the current era, the game of Go is very popular in this small county, so Go books and Go magazines are very common in Cuiwei Middle School.
Let's not talk about Go books, in this era of China, the most famous and influential Go magazines are, of course, only two: one of them is the "Go World" edited by the Chinese Go Association. This magazine should be regarded as the "official magazine" of Chinese Go. And the other, of course, is the Shencheng "Go" magazine with a longer history and to some extent more cultural heritage.
What Zhao Dabao brought in was the latest issue of these two magazines.
Although it claims to be "latest", in this era, the media is still very backward in terms of information speed. No, the 4th Ring Tournament is now over. However, when a Go enthusiast gets the "latest" issue of Go magazine, all the "old news" is published.
For example, the two books that Zhao Dabao brought in, the focus of their reports was the match between Li Xiaoqiang and Military Attache Zhengshu in the ring a month and a half ago. Thinking about the Internet age in the future, this kind of thing is unthinkable. But in this day and age, this is a normal thing.
Li Xiaoqiang "grabbed" the two magazines in Zhao Dabao's hands and browsed them roughly. Obviously, the two ring bouts in Tokyo, Japan, were the focus of the two magazines. It takes up about a third of the entire magazine, and there are not only detailed explanations of the game, but also various game tidbits.
To Li Xiaoqiang's surprise, there are a lot of "competition tidbits" in this issue of the magazine. For example, Li Xiaoqiang's chess guidance to Yukari Umezawa, as well as the meeting between Li Xiaoqiang and Mr. Wu, are of course all tidbits of that game. It was covered in both magazines and took up a lot of space.
Li Xiaoqiang thought about it carefully, but he also felt that this situation was excusable. Anyway. In those two matches, Li Xiaoqiang and Yu Bin both lost. As a professional Go magazine, the content of the game is of course the focus of the report. However, the magazine's editors and Go reporters also had feelings, and they reported in great detail about the losses of the two Chinese chess players, and they must have been reluctant in their hearts. Now it's okay, since the content of the "text" is not enough, there is no way, so I have to make up the "tidbits".
For example, Shencheng's "Go" magazine devoted a long time to the meeting and conversation between Li Xiaoqiang and Master Wu. The writer of the article is, of course, the number one "Xiaoqiang fan" in China. Zhang Zhidong Zhang Da reporter. In that report, reporter Zhang Da did his best to exaggerate and almost wrote the meeting between the two as a "historic meeting".
In this article by reporter Zhang Da, he naturally regards Li Xiaoqiang as a new generation of leaders. and even the leading figure of Go in the new century. And Mr. Wu Qingyuan, Mr. Wu, who is undoubtedly the greatest chess player of this century, is not one of them!
In this way, through the clever writing and deliberate guidance of reporter Zhang Da, it does give people a lot of room for imagination. Even if Li Xiaoqiang saw it himself, he was a little fluttering. It was very comfortable to be slapped by Zhang Zhidong's sycophant.
Of course. Regarding reporter Zhang Da's article, Li Xiaoqiang still feels a bit superficial. Li Xiaoqiang even felt that Zhang Zhidong didn't get to the point at all! Reporter Zhang Da's entire article is just repeatedly emphasizing the "identity and status" of the two. Thus illustrating the significance of this meeting. Of course, Master Wu's status does not need to be argued by him, and Li Xiaoqiang, the "leading figure of the new century", obviously only exists in everyone's good wishes and imagination. Therefore, he had to spend a lot of space to argue about this issue of Li Xiaoqiang's "positioning". And his various arguments. It is nothing more than repeating the words of many well-known people in the Go world who "praised" Li Xiaoqiang. There's nothing new at all.
Li Xiaoqiang has always believed that the real key factor why Mr. Wu wants to meet with him. It's still a matter of Go philosophy!
Today, it has been more than 3 years since Li Xiaoqiang was reborn. As my Go level improves, I also deepen my thinking about certain issues. Li Xiaoqiang feels more and more that the development of Go to the current era has produced two Go concepts in history, or in other words, the two most important schools of Go. One of them is the ancient chess under the "seat" system. The other one is the Japanese game of Go, which started with Daoce. There is no doubt that Japan's Taoist predecessors are indeed an epoch-making figure. The so-called "mystical policy" is indeed worthy of its name. Due to the decline of medieval chess, the concept of Go is mainly Japanese Go, which is currently popular in the world. Therefore, from modern Go to modern Go, another concept of Go has not been really taken seriously, and is even considered by many people to be a backward thing that should be eliminated by history.
Obviously, Li Xiaoqiang, who knows how Go will develop in the future, will not think like this. And in this era, another person who doesn't think like this is Mr. Wu Qingyuan!
Due to Mr. Wu's special experience in learning chess, he was exposed to both of these Go concepts at a very young age. More importantly, when he was young, Mr. Wu had no prejudice against these two Go philosophies. It can be said that Mr. Wu's growth was born in the collision of these two Go concepts. It's just that when he was young, he didn't have time to think about it himself. So unconsciously, Mr. Wu has been doing something that "blends" these two Go concepts.
Mr. Wu was able to sweep the world and stand at the top of the world chess world for 20 years. Of course, it was because of his hard work and outstanding talent for Go. The "integration" work he did is certainly also a very important reason.
To this day, in the entire world of chess, the concept of Japanese Go is still the mainstay. And Mr. Wu is inconvenient to say many things because of various reasons. So we see that he has been thinking silently and has been doing the thing of "fusion", even if he can't play chess, even if he is 100 years old......
And now, there is a Li Xiaoqiang in China. There is a Li Xiaoqiang in the chess world of the world, a Li Xiaoqiang who claims to be a "descendant of ancient chess"!
Mr. Wu wants to meet with Li Xiaoqiang and wants to encourage Li Xiaoqiang, is this the main reason?
No matter what others think, that's what Li Xiaoqiang himself thinks anyway: this may be the real reason!
It must be admitted that whenever he thinks of that meeting, Li Xiaoqiang's heart is always filled with an inexplicable "sense of historical responsibility." He even felt that Mr. Wu's teaching to him was to hope that he would continue this "integration" work. Passing on the essence of second-hand chess.
"Hehe, although Mr. Lin Haifeng is the eldest disciple of Master Wu, and I, Li Xiaoqiang, seem to be the heir of the master's mantle......"
I have to say that people like Li Xiaoqiang, when he feels good about himself, often like stinky beauty.
On this afternoon, of course. Li Xiaoqiang didn't have time to stinky and beautiful. Because now he has another problem to face. To be precise, it is to face another "tidbit".
He and Yukari Umezawa play a tidbit of chess instruction.
The tidbits published in "Go" magazine are the news of the meeting between Li Xiaoqiang and Master Wu. The tidbits published in "Go World" are mainly based on the tidbits of Li Xiaoqiang and Yukari Umezawa playing chess.
Speaking of "Go World", it can be regarded as the "official magazine" of the Chinese Go Association. So in terms of a lot of resources, this magazine is really a little better than "Go". At the very least, this magazine is qualified to publish a lot of color pages. And "Go" magazine does not seem to have such conditions. Even if you want to post some photos, you can only post some blurry black and white photos.
Now it's a headache for Li Xiaoqiang. It is a large color page on the "Go World". A large photograph of him and Yukari Umezawa when they reviewed it.
In all fairness, the professionalism of this photojournalist is quite good. This shot captured at that moment is also very remarkable. How to describe it? Well, this photo depicts a scene of people having a good time after the game. Very cosy. What's more, let some people who feel more unique, such as Zhao Dabao and others, even be able to see a little ambiguity in the photos.
Zhao Dabao snatched back this "Go World" from Li Xiaoqiang's hands. Then he happily peddled his "new discovery" among his classmates around him:
"Ha Luha, everyone look at it. This Japanese girl is obviously looking at us Xiaoqiang with affection, to say that this Japanese girl has no good impression of Xiaoqiang. Will you believe it? I won't believe it anyway. Tsk, look at this expression, look at that look...... No, no, I said Chubby, you must be honest, what do you have to do with this called Yuka Umezawa......"
Zhao Dabao happily squeezed his eyebrows, and a group of classmates around him also coaxed. Li Xiaoqiang is very understanding of their actions. Of course, who hasn't come through adolescence? It is understandable that at this moment, Li Xiaoqiang's face also darkened.
This is a photo of a post-match review. In the photo, Li Xiaoqiang is pointing on the chessboard, looking high-spirited. As for Mei Ze, I saw that her face was slightly red, her eyebrows were low, and she was secretly looking at Li Xiaoqiang, with an expression of humility and teaching.
Not to mention that this photojournalist's skills are good, he captured the moment when Umezawa "peeked" at Li Xiaoqiang. It is such a moment that gives the whole photo a little ambiguous. Let Zhao Dabao's gossip fire burn, let him be sure, Mei Ze is looking at Li Xiaoqiang with "affection".
In normal times, Li Xiaoqiang would of course scoff at such a thing. That photo was taken very well, though. But it's still far from the real "ambiguity". In normal times, Li Xiaoqiang may echo proudly, and then brag about his personal charm by the way.
It's a pity that now Li Xiaoqiang can't brag at all. Or what is called a thief's weak heart? Li Xiaoqiang now has a little feeling of "being a thief".
Just now, Li Xiaoqiang was still thinking about how to get close to Lin Mengyu. In Li Xiaoqiang's mind, it is natural to regard Lin Damei as his genuine girlfriend. Now that the problem of the "genuine girlfriend" has not been solved, the ambiguous eyes of the "gossip girlfriend" have come out. In such a situation, even if Li Xiaoqiang is a middle-aged uncle who is reborn, it is inevitable that he will have a feeling of being a thief.
At this moment, Li Xiaoqiang even glanced in the direction where Lin Mengyu was, intentionally or unintentionally. Coincidentally, Lin Mengyu also looked at Li Xiaoqiang at this time, and the eyes of the two were separated. But after having this eye contact, Li Xiaoqiang felt even more that the future beauty of Lin Da seemed to be waiting for her to give an explanation.
Of course, this is purely Li Xiaoqiang's own opinion. He had no way of figuring out what other people were thinking. I don't have time to figure it out. What Li Xiaoqiang needs to do now is to suppress the things provoked by Zhao Dabao.
Li Xiaoqiang deeply knows that this should be put on hold in normal times, and he only has the admission of hip-hop and hip-hop, so a group of adolescent high school students will soon feel bored, and this matter will soon pass. But the current situation is different, in front of Lin Mengyu, Li Xiaoqiang will not admit to killing him. At the same time, Li Xiaoqiang knew that at this time, it was even more impossible to deny. As long as they deny it, as long as they argue, then Zhao Dabao and they will only be more energetic. Because for a group of boys who have just entered puberty, it doesn't matter if it's really ambiguous or not, what they care more about is the way they blush.
It was precisely because he felt as if he couldn't do anything that Li Xiaoqiang was in a dilemma, and at this moment, he was even a little at a loss.
"What should I do?"
Li Xiaoqiang's mind turned sharply. Eyes roll around. Find a solution. Fortunately, Li Xiaoqiang didn't feel embarrassed for long, when he accidentally saw a classmate's desk. More precisely, when he stumbled upon a book. So Li Xiaoqiang quickly found a good way.
"Ha Lu Ha. Tenryu Babu? I said Xiao Hei, don't be so boring, okay, don't you just play a game of chess? I'm really convinced, how can you tell that this Japanese girl has a crush on me? Your imagination is too rich, isn't it...... I'm going to ask you a question now. Aren't you a Go celebrity in our school? I don't know if it's true, I'll test you now, the "exquisite picture" in this book. You, a "celebrity", should be able to show it to everyone, right? ”
Li Xiaoqiang raised the book of "Tianlong Babu" in his hand, and proudly "countered" Zhao Dabao.
"Delicate picture? Is it the exquisite picture that Xuzhu cracked? Is there really such a delicate picture......"
"Is this true?"
"Xiaoqiang, say it quickly, is there really such a question of life and death in reality? Dabao Zhilu Dao? Why don't you hurry up and show us ......"
After listening to Li Xiaoqiang's words, most of the students were really attracted by the new topic, no matter how high the person's Go level was, and even whether the person could play Go.
Of course, in Cuiwei Middle School, although the atmosphere of Go is very good. But no matter how hot Go is, it can't be as hot as martial arts novels. Male classmates look at Jin Yong, and female classmates look at Qiong Yao. In the 80s, in domestic middle schools, it was basically a "phenomenal" problem. This is a common phenomenon in schools in this era, and Cuiwei Middle School is certainly no exception.
Li Xiaoqiang saw that no one was entangled in his "scandal" problem anymore, and he was proud in his heart:
"Well, it seems that I, the wizard on the chessboard, have not called in vain, as long as I encounter a difficult situation, not only on the chessboard, but also outside the chessboard, I also have a very good way......"
Of course, Li Xiaoqiang knows that in the face of a problem that is not clear and difficult to say, then the best way is of course to "change the topic". Of course, many people know this truth, but it is not so easy to really do it well. One of the most basic conditions for this is that you propose a new topic that must be more engaging than the old one.
At this moment, Li Xiaoqiang is very grateful to Mr. Jin, who is also a chess fan, because it is because of his wonderful novel that Li Xiaoqiang successfully diverted everyone's attention.
Mr. Jin Yong is also a super chess fan. According to himself, the two people he admired the most in his life were Fan Li. This Chinese "Tao Zhu Gong" is also the husband of Xi Shi. And the other one is Mr. Wu Qingyuan. It is precisely because Mr. Jin is a chess fan that there are many descriptions of Go in his novels. And the most brilliant of them may be the bridge section of "Illusory Bamboo Solution".
In the novel, the early Xuzhu is definitely a hard-working man, with no talent, no appearance and no status, as a symbol of status in the martial arts world, his martial arts are even more humble. And the virtual bamboo in the later period is definitely the object of envy of many people. Not to mention practicing peerless martial arts, he also hugged the beauty. One of the most dramatic is that Xuzhu's life has changed, and everything started when he unraveled the "exquisite picture".
What's even more unbearable is that as the beginning of Xuzhu's "transfer", or in other words, the event of "making Xuzhu's life take a major change", he completed it completely by mistake. This has to make people envy his shit luck.
Li Xiaoqiang even felt that Mr. Jin's design of such a bridge section was indeed a stroke of genius, at least original. Because of such a thing as "shit luck", although everyone despises or dismisses it, everyone wants to have it.
It is precisely because of this psychology that many people will be interested in this "exquisite picture". The reason in this is very simple, in the subconscious of many people, they will equate the "Linglong Picture" with the shit luck of Xuzhu. It is precisely because of this subconscious that Li Xiaoqiang has successfully diverted everyone's attention.
"I said Xiaoqiang, you won't be bragging, right? Xuzhu relied on a suicidal chess move to solve the exquisite diagram. Since ancient times, the rules of Go have been that suicide should not be allowed. Therefore, the exquisite picture must be fictional, and in real life, there is certainly no such question of life and death......"
"Hehe, that's called art. Do you know what art is? It doesn't matter if you don't understand art, you have always heard the phrase "art comes from life and is higher than life". Let me tell you, although this exquisite picture of Mr. Jin is fictional, but in Go, there is really a very interesting question of life and death, which can be regarded as the prototype of the exquisite picture. How about it, do you want to see it, if you want to, go and move a chessboard now. ”
Naturally, most people want to see it. Because in most people's hearts, the so-called "exquisite picture" is equivalent to the shit luck of the virtual bamboo. Having a chance to see what other people's shit luck looks like, of course no one will object. And Li Xiaoqiang's purpose is to completely attract everyone's attention. Naturally, I can only continue to show off.
Soon, a pair of Go appeared in the classroom.
Soon, Li Xiaoqiang let everyone see the prototype of "Linglong Tu". (To be continued......)
PS: It's been too long to stop, and it's hard to put into words. I'll talk about the reasons for that later. I can only emphasize that this book will not be a eunuch. Hehe, the number of updates is not guaranteed, but in the 2 months starting today, try to have as many as you can, that's all I can say now.
