What is the dream?

Yang Zheng turned off the computer and lay on the bed, thinking about this question for a long time.

This wasn't the first time he had thought about his dreams.

Since childhood, his parents and teachers have often asked him about his dreams, and since then, he has had many dreams.

But those childhood dreams have long since faded with the passage of time.

No matter how much the times change, the dream will also change because of its own value.

Yang Zheng's dream has changed from a magnificent scientist and doctor at the beginning to a good life now.

Although he lives well, playing every game well is indeed his most realistic and reliable dream now. But there is a faint desire in his heart, this desire is indescribable, but after witnessing the plan he once designed and the chess player opposite him after the end, he asked himself about the details of the chessboard.

He seemed to know what his desires were, and he seemed to know that he should think more precisely about how to live. He couldn't sleep for a long time, and the memories of the joy of the opponent who had won the next game, as well as the competitiveness in his heart when he met the insurmountable opponent, seemed to have not appeared for a long time.

He decided to go to Lao Zhou and ask him about what was alive.

Yang Zheng went out early the next morning, although it was summer, but the wind in the morning still carried the cold winter and spring.

Yang Zheng passed by the convenience store, and he saw the young foreign guy, who was making breakfast in advance.

He stepped forward to buy two freshly steamed meat buns, and at the checkout, he was surprised to find a copy of "Abandoned Horses and Trapped Cars" produced in the 60s on the cash register, which not only has years, but also has a unique meaning for a long time. At that time, Yang Guanxuan's extraordinarily large "Yilin New Edition" had not yet been released, and many chess lovers had been controversial about whether the red and black were the best.

Although this book has been brilliant in the past, in the modern era of mature chess theory, this book is obviously a bit outdated, and even the concept is somewhat flawed. As a result, the book is becoming more and more difficult to see on the market.

Yang Zheng also saw it from Lao Zhou, so he knew what the book was about.

However, Yang Zheng also has a general understanding, and he has not read this book. After all, for him now, these old chess games don't seem to have improved his chess strength much, what he needs now is actual combat, actual combat, and actual combat.

"You've read the book too?" This foreign young man looked at Yang Zheng's gaze on this book "Abandoned Horse and Trapped", and he asked with some excitement.

"No... But heard. Yang Zheng replied with sincerity, he inadvertently picked up the book and flipped through a few pages. He said with some hesitation: "Aji, this book... In fact, it doesn't improve your chess ability much. ”

Aggie smiled, "I know, but this book has something that is not in other games." ”

"Something you don't have?"

"Yes, it's history." Taking advantage of the fact that there were not many people in the store, Aji smiled and talked to Yang Zheng about the preciousness of this book.

"Although this book is early, it best reflects the changes in chess."

"Change?"

"Yes, look, on your fifteenth page, there is a chess game from Tang Chang's early years."

"Tang Chang?" Yang Zheng recalled the famous players in the chess world throughout the ages, but after recalling for a long time, he didn't think who Tang Xian was.

"That's right, it's Tang Chang. You should know Master Chung-jin. ”

"Chess Immortal Zhong Zhen?" Yang Zheng replied uncertainly. For Master Zhong Zhen, one of the three phoenixes in eastern Guangdong and known as a chess fairy in history, many people who play chess must know this chess fairy, and they also know that the layout that chess fairies are best at is the rook soldiers of the Seven Star Gathering.

"That's right, it's a chess fairy." Aji said excitedly: "Tang Chang is the first opponent of the chess immortal. In case you don't know, in my country, chess fairies are famous. His status is equivalent to that of a saint, and the first published chess book in my country recorded the deeds of the chess fairy Zhong Zhen. said that the chess fairy Zhong Zhen 'was nineteen years old, and the veteran Tang Chang died as a doom, Tang Chang was a prawn, and he was the dominant party at that time. ”

"Oh? And this kind of thing? Yang Zheng was instantly interested, but after being interested, he felt that since he was a loser and not a game with a chess fairy, it was recorded in the book, whether it was too hasty.

But when Yang Zheng raised his head and looked at Aji's sincere and yearning eyes, he suddenly felt an indescribable grief and indignation welling up in his heart.

Indeed, it is grief and indignation.

Sadness is sadness, he is sad that he just won a few small chess games on the chess board, and then he began to look down on no one, looking down on his opponents, and looking down on the ancients.

He was angry, angry at his ignorance. Obviously, he is older than this young man abroad, and he was born happily in this country where chess originated, but when it comes to knowledge, he still has an understanding of chess.

However, most of them rely on the books on Lao Zhou's bookshelf and their own imagination to understand the history and development of chess.

He felt even more ashamed, ashamed that he was only an amateur chess player, but many times felt that professional chess players and amateur chess players were only about the same in the final analysis.

It was also clear that Pengfei found him and told him the essential difference between professional chess players and amateur chess players.

But in the end, for his own reasons, he deliberately forgot these essential differences.

He hadn't loved something in a long time.

finally found something he loved from the bottom of his heart.

But in the end, because of his small achievements, he gave up the most fundamental things.

Thinking about the question about his dream last night, it seems that the answer is hidden in the eyes of this young foreign chess player who often goes to the park to play chess and has never won against him.

"Aggie, let me ask you a question." Yang Zheng took over the chess game in Aji's hand, carefully watched this dangerous game, and saw that the game called Tang Chang, who was also the first to win after the birth of the chess fairy, was a young famous player, and he slowly said: "What is your dream?" ”

The first time Aggie heard someone ask about his dream, he hesitated for a long time, and said a little unproductively: "My dream... It's actually quite simple. I just want to be a chess teacher in our country. ”

"Chess teacher?" Yang Zheng was a little overwhelmed, he looked at Aji's somewhat shy eyes, thinking that he had confused the teacher with the master.

But Aji's next words left him speechless.

"Yes, it's a chess teacher. Because, I want the children in our country who are so poor that they can't fill their stomachs that they can see the hope of their own lives in the chess world like I used to! ”
