After an interval of one day, the second set of the 3rd "Toyo Securities Cup" semifinals continued here.

It's already around 4 o'clock in the afternoon. In the game room, the battle between Li Xiaoqiang and Mr. Kato has reached a very critical moment. Li Xiaoqiang is also doing his best to win the final victory.

Normally, when the competition is in progress, there will be a lot of people in the research room. At this time, the research room is often bustling. Today seems to be no exception, and there are indeed a lot of people in the viewing room right now. People like China's Nie Whirlwind, South Korea's Cao Yanzi, Japan's Kobayashi Koji and others have all appeared here.

However, the slight difference is that although there are many chess players in the viewing room today, it does not seem to be very lively. In this not-so-small viewing room, the most common scene of three or five people studying separately is gone. The voices of various opinions are also inaudible. In the entire room, only two chessboards are placed in the very center. There are two sets of matches in progress.

Yes, today's situation is a bit special, because today a special person came to the Chinese Chess Academy.

When today's game was going on until about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, when an old man came to the research room. Everyone consciously gathered in a circle. After that, the old man's voice could still be heard in the laboratory. Even Nie Whirlwind and Cao Yanzi were listening carefully to the old man's opinions.

This old man is Mr. Wu Qingyuan, the master of Go.

The characters accompanying Mr. Wu Qingyuan this time are also very interesting, they are actually Mr. Ying from Taiwan and Mr. Jin from Hong Kong.

It is not surprising to say that Mr. Ying is here. Because it is now very close to the opening time of the 2nd "Ying's Cup". Therefore, there are many details of the game that need to be coordinated by the Chinese Chess Academy. And Master Wu served as the chief referee of the competition, so Mr. Ying invited Mr. Wu to the capital for such a reason.

Of course, this is not the main reason. If there were only such trivial matters, then Mr. Ying would definitely not be able to fool Mr. Wu to the capital. Those who know the inside story know that Master Wu and Mr. Jin came to the capital this time, in fact, to participate in a "Chinese Traditional Culture Seminar" related to Go. It can be said that Mr. Wu and their appearance in the capital actually have a little bit to do with Li Xiaoqiang.

The ins and outs of this matter are to start with the "Ying's Cup Storm" not long ago.

I remember that before Li Xiaoqiang met with the old man, Dong Lao said to Li Xiaoqiang: If Li Xiaoqiang wants to convince "his old man", then he must come up with "strong reasons". And after that, Li Xiaoqiang seems to have really come up with some "good reasons". This also prompted the "relevant departments" to change their attitude towards the "Ying's Cup". Let the "Ying's Cup" be carried out normally.

To be honest, Li Xiaoqiang's so-called "excellent reasons" are actually very simple. He just revealed some of the so-called "building a cultural power" and "cultural export" in front of the old people in front of the old people. And what about the old man after hearing this? After listening to it, he thought it was quite fresh, and he felt like that. So I took it to heart.

In this year, if you use a very fashionable sentence in this era: it is that China is trying to "integrate with international standards". In other words, Chinese people are trying to understand the whole world. To be honest, the Chinese people seem to be doing a good job of "understanding the world". For example, in the current state media, the "daily life" of leaders is of course always the front page headline, but there is also a considerable part of the content, which is actually about how round the "foreign moon" is.

But then again, the so-called "international integration" is not unilateral. It's like making friends, even if you already know people well, but others don't know you, how do you make friends? Therefore, it can be said that while China is trying to understand the whole world, it also has a desire to let the whole world know about itself.

It's a pity, on the question of "how to make the world know about itself". There are many practices in the country that are not lawful. At the national level, such a question is actually a matter for the propaganda department and the cultural department. It is a pity that these two departments, when they transfer the domestic set of thinking and practices to the international community, they will not see any effect at all.

For example, in this year, Chinese people attach great importance to the gold medal of the Olympic Games, or often shoot some film and television works that can win awards internationally. Or get some very delicate things in China to show off abroad. I thought that by doing this, we would be able to achieve the goal of propagating China and let foreigners understand China. To be honest, an approach like this certainly doesn't work much better.

Li Xiaoqiang was able to successfully fool his old man in this place: since it is to "be in line with international standards", then it is equivalent to the exchange of two people. If you are only there to show off one-sidedly, then you will never achieve the purpose of "communication". The most important factor in being able to communicate is that you want people to know what you think. What kind of way do you think about it? Between countries, if you can successfully do this, it will be considered a relatively successful propaganda. For example, what "cultural export" in later generations, or "cultural aggression", "soft power", etc., is not actually what it means?

Therefore, when Li Xiaoqiang was just chatting with the old man, he was there to talk about the issue of "Go represents the Oriental way of thinking". When Li Xiaoqiang had done enough preparations, he proposed that Go was a good communication tool. Competitions like the "Ying's Cup" should not only not be boycotted, but should be fully supported and vigorously promoted. It's best to let those Westerners know a little bit about Go, so that they can better understand Chinese culture and communicate better when dealing with them......

This was the situation at that time, when Li Xiaoqiang told his old man this set of rhetoric. His old man seemed to be moved by Li Xiaoqiang's "excellent reasons".

It must be admitted that Li Xiaoqiang's statement should have some truth. In fact, the idea he put forward is the same as the idea of setting up "Confucius Institutes" around the world in later generations. Therefore, his view is easily accepted by everyone. And Li Xiaoqiang's "private goods" are easily sold.

Now it seems that Li Xiaoqiang's flickering is still very effective. Just some time ago, the Ministry of Culture came up with a seminar on "Promoting Traditional Chinese Culture". Since it is talking about traditional Chinese culture, then "qin, chess, calligraphy and painting" must be indispensable. Mr. Wu Qingyuan and Mr. Jin were invited to China as special guests of this seminar.

“…… Sir, do you think that Mr. Kato and Mr. Zhao's chess is no longer good? Tsk, these two Li teenagers are really powerful, especially our Xiaoqiang, so many super-first-class masters all over the world, it seems that they have no resistance in front of him. What do you think is the reason for this? Also, what do you think the two teenagers have reached? ”

At a little over 4 p.m., the two semi-final games had actually been decided. Both Li Xiaoqiang and Li Shifo have achieved very clear advantages. There is little chance of an opponent turning the tables. So in this way, Li Xiaoqiang actually won a place in the finals. The other final right will not be known until after the tiebreaker between Zhao Zhixun and Li Shifo the day after tomorrow.

It was Mr. Jin who asked this. As an amateur chess player, he didn't really care much about the many complex technical problems on the board. He just listened to the master's analysis, and now he only knew that Li Xiaoqiang had almost won. So he seemed very happy now. And as a scholar with deep attainments in traditional Chinese culture. He's actually more interested in issues like "realms". That's why he asked.

"Yes, the game has come to this point, and it can be considered that Xiaoqiang and the Korean boy have already won. These two teenagers are really powerful. If you anonymize the names of the players, you wouldn't be able to tell that they played by two 16-year-olds. Not only are they very calm, but they also look very sophisticated. On the other hand, what about Masao and Jixun? One is a little impatient, and the other is a chess player. As a result, the pieces played are stiff. In this way, it is reasonable for them to lose. As for what you asked them to reach? This question...... Hehe......"

After Mr. Wu paused slightly, he smiled and said to Mr. Jin:

"For this question, it's better to wait for Xiaoqiang to come out, and you can ask him in person. I believe that he must have his own unique opinion. I can only say now that Xiaoqiang now should be much stronger than me when I was 19 years old. ”

"Oh!"

Hearing Master Wu's answer, many people in the room were slightly moved. You must know that when Mr. Wu played the "Star, Sansan, Tianyuan" century game, Mr. Wu was exactly 19 years old at that time. Although Mr. Wu lost that game, not many people would think that Xiuya would be better than Mr. Wu. Therefore, Mr. Wu compares the current Li Xiaoqiang with his 19-year-old self, which is actually a high evaluation.

"There are many people who say that you see Xiaoqiang as your heir. Judging from Xiao Qiang's chess style, he really has some of your characteristics. For example, on the point of "smart chess style". Xiaoqiang is not very similar to you......"

"Hehe, I think you're all mistaken. Is Xiaoqiang's chess style smart? I don't think that's how it looks. I think Xiaoqiang's biggest strength is actually his extraordinary-mindedness and his extraordinary chess sense. Especially the first point, this is the real secret of his strength. If you don't realize this, then many people may still have to suffer at his hands. Xiaoqiang's cautious thinking is not at all like what a child can have. Therefore, a few years ago, when Xiaoqiang asked me for advice, I didn't dare to agree to him at that time. Because in this regard, I consider myself inferior to him. So I didn't dare to be his teacher......"

“…… Don't hide it from everyone, in my mind, in fact, I have always regarded Xiaoqiang as my mentor and friend. In other words, I have always regarded Xiaoqiang as my bosom friend. Although our methods of cultivation are different, I feel that the things we pursue are the same. So from this point of view, it's not wrong for everyone to regard Xiaoqiang as my heir to the mantle. I'm honestly scared, but I hope so. Now I just don't know if I have this blessing......"

Just when Mr. Wu seemed to be talking to himself, Li Xiaoqiang had actually walked out of the game room. Mr. Wu's later words also fell on Li Xiaoqiang's ears word for word. I don't know why, Li Xiaoqiang, who was in a good mood after winning chess. This moment is also surrounded by another emotion. Looking at Mr. Wu not far away, Li Xiaoqiang was now full of emotion.

On the surface, Mr. Wu is now sitting in the center of the crowd. But Mr. Wu's loneliness, how many people can understand it. Essentially, the Reborn is a lonely person because he has many secrets that cannot be known. However, Li Xiaoqiang believes that his current "loneliness" is not at the same level as Mr. Wu.

Since he came into contact with Go, Wu Qingyuan has existed like a god in Li Xiaoqiang's Go world.

The king of the Showa era in Japan, no one can beat the juban fight, and the loneliness that is invincible in the world!

Master Wu is a person with cultivation, no matter how he lives in the world, he has the taste of Zen in chess. Very old, very people. When the master boarded a ship to Japan as a teenager, his life was doomed to irreconcilable dilemmas. On the one hand, there is an unparalleled talent in chess, and on the other hand, there is an incomparable enmity between the Chinese and Japanese nations. Mr. is a pure? The chess man, a pure? of people. The highest level of a skill must be unpretentious, ethereal and unobstructed. Just like the state of a Buddha, it does not increase or decrease, and it is not dirty or pure.

In the eyes of many Chinese, Mr. is unjust, and when the Japanese are ravaging China's great rivers and mountains, Mr. is playing chess. In the eyes of many Japanese, he is a Chinese outlier, and he has fought the entire Japanese chess world alone for decades with a peculiar identity, and has knocked all the top players in Japan into the dust.

The feelings of the Japanese towards Mr. are also very complicated, on the one hand, they have infinite admiration for Mr. Tian's talent, and on the other hand, they are extremely frustrated that Mr. is not Japanese. Li Xiaoqiang has always been surprised by how Mr. Yu achieved invincibility in 20 years of ten-game chess? You know, there are many fights on the cliff, as long as you lose once, the proud and poor Japanese will not give Mr. another chance, and if you lose once, Mr. 's career as a chess player will end.

As many people know, he is not affiliated with the Japan Chess Academy, and all chess battles are organized by the Yomiuri Shimbun. He was lonely, and spiritually he did not have the support of the Chinese people, who were struggling to survive under the iron hooves of the Japanese. The gentleman fought alone, knocking the chess pieces on the chessboard, surrounded by silence, and behind him was the abyss. Li Xiaoqiang couldn't imagine how Mr. did it.

Li Xiaoqiang believes that when it comes to talking about Mr. Go, it doesn't matter what technical issues there are. What "big avalanche" turns inside or outside, what chess shape has a "thin taste" or "slightly too much", this is not the point at all, the key is the spiritual power under the very current situation.

As Mr. has always emphasized, "normal heart"!

No obstacles, no terror, far from upside-down dreams. Go is a dream, life is also like a dream, in the double dream, Mr. has no appearance, the nature is empty, Mr. is not only a chess god, Mr. The whole life of Mr. has also reached the realm of gods and Buddhas.

For nearly a century, Go has made Mr. and Mr. Go has made Go.

"Hehe, it turns out that Xiaoqiang has come out. Come here, what are you doing there...... By the way, I don't know if you heard it, Master Wu just spoke highly of you. I'm suddenly a little curious now, so what kind of person is Mr. Wu in your mind? ”

Just as Li Xiaoqiang was standing there in a daze, Old Man Jin saw Li Xiaoqiang. He happily greeted Li Xiaoqiang. Then asked Li Xiaoqiang such a question.

"It is not an exaggeration to say that half of the brilliance of our current professional chess players is due to Mr. Wu. For me, no, for almost all chess players, Mr. Wu is like the sky! ”

When he heard Old Man Jin's question, he didn't know why, Li Xiaoqiang quickly remembered such words. This is what Mr. Masaki Takemiya said about Mr. Wu. However, since this is someone else's "original", then on such an occasion, Li Xiaoqiang must be embarrassed to pick up people's teeth.

At this moment, Li Xiaoqiang suddenly remembered another famous sentence from Mr. Wu:

"I'm going to play Go until I'm 100 years old. No, 100 years old is not enough, when I am 200 years old, I will go to the universe to play chess......"

"Mr. Wu, in my mind, he is the chess ...... to be ordered by heaven to the world" i861
