The word dignity is the two most worthless words in the eyes of many people.

Because in this materialistic world, there is such a non-mainstream value, that is, if people want to make money, they must first learn to let go of their dignity.

But in Ma Fan's eyes, dignity is the two most precious words in the world, and it is also the only stick that can make him straighten his spine in his life full of suffering. Dignity is a mirror that supports his dreams.

It was also because of this that he took the initiative to admit defeat when Li Tiandao deliberately let himself have a hand.

He didn't want to be sympathized, and he didn't want to be a professional chess player in his heart who could change his future destiny in this way.

He, looking down at his dark palm, clenched it hard, his eyes were full of relief.

Ma Fan's "self-defeating" way of admitting defeat naturally attracted everyone's discussion.

Some people say that after seeing Li Tiandao's amazing chess skills again, he lost all confidence and courage.

Others said that he didn't want to torture himself, because even if he won this game, he would have to win the next two games to become a professional chess player.

But only Li Tiandao knew that the young man on the other side, who was much younger than himself, was a brave and admirable opponent.

The reason why he chose to admit defeat is because he doesn't want to live without dignity in his life, and he doesn't want to tarnish a man's dream in this way!

He also stood up, and there was no expression on his face that a winner should have, but could not help but exclaim: "This is really a good game!" ”

This is also Li Tiandao's most sincere and highest evaluation of the young man opposite.

These seven words made all the people in the venue who were thinking about Ma Fan speechless.

These six words made Li Tiandao understand that the poor family can still produce a noble son!

People, in fact, it is not important to be born, the important thing is that people must live with dignity, dreams, and live proudly, because only in this way can people who are born poor have the possibility to become a person worthy of everyone's respect and yearning in the future.

Li Tiandao slowly walked into the lounge of the quasi-chess player, and in the corridor of the lounge, he saw a person who had been waiting for a long time, and that person was Yue Jianping. A top-level young master like them has more or less crossed paths on and off the stage.

Looking at Li Tiandao's unsurprised expression, Yue Jianping should be regarded as his acquaintance.

Yue Jianping's record today is also a complete victory, and he won two consecutive victories with his unique chess in the last game, and was directly promoted to a quasi-professional chess player.

He looked at Li Tiandao, who was already a quasi-professional chess player, and he suddenly asked a question: "What do you think of this year's opponent?" ”

Li Tiandao hesitated for a moment and replied: "It's stronger than last year." ”

If there were uninformed people present, they would definitely be shocked by Li Tiandao's answer.

Because through the information handed in by Li Tiandao and the vigorous publicity of the chess academy, it was learned that Li Tiandao participated in the professional chess player assessment for the first time this year.

But he just said that this year's opponent is stronger than last year's, which can't help but cause people to think.

"Then do you still want to take the first place?" Yue Jianping looked at the next person who walked into the lounge of quasi-professional chess players, and said with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth: "This year there must be another junior who has the same experience as us last year." ”

This inexplicable sentence accompanied the next person who walked into the lounge of the prospective chess players, and suddenly made the atmosphere in the entire aisle freeze silently.

"Take it one step at a time." Li Tiandao didn't want to respond to this question, maybe the only thing that lingered in his mind was Ma Fan, the opponent who made him feel admired just now.

"I'm going to take the first place, no matter who the opponent is." After Yue Jianping finished saying this, he raised his head and looked at the spotless white ceiling above his head, and finally said: "Only by winning the first place can I change the current chess." ”

As these words fell, Li Tiandao and Yue Jianping walked into different rooms with some tacit understanding.

In the hallway, only the man who had just entered was silent.

I just saw that the man plucked out his ear, and a transparent pocket headphone fell into his hand.

In the entire aisle, there was a sudden sigh.

……

Dongdong won the match in the third, and she clenched her fist excitedly, and in that empty fist, she seemed to feel the weight of her dream.

The so-called weight of dreams is nothing more than the weight of sweat.

She raised her head and looked at Ma Fan, who was strong and lonely with her back, she did not hesitate this time, and caught up with Ma Fan, who was already a loser, she patted Ma Fan's shoulder, and she also touched Ma Fan's hand with her fist full of dreams in Ma Fan's surprised expression.

"Next year, I'll wait for you!" The girl said firmly, and what she said was extremely convincing.

That's right, Ma Fan, who has already played against the strongest chess player in this professional chess player assessment, also has a future.

After all, the weight of his dream is there, and he just lacks a new stage.

The little fat man, who had become a quasi-professional chess player, stood behind these two without saying a word, he wanted to say sorry to Ma Fan, and he also wanted to say a word to Ma Fan to cheer up next year, but he felt that with his current identity, whatever he said was like a mockery.

After all, it was he who indirectly ruined Ma Fan's dream.

"See you next year!" Ma Fan had already noticed the arrival of the little fat man, and while he responded to Dongdong's punch, he looked back at his best friend in the chess club and said, "You wait for me for a year, and I will definitely catch up with you next year!" ”

……

Wang Yifan watched the whole game on the top floor, and he also saw his little nephew in the transparent glass window to find the young man who was equal to Li Tiandao, he didn't know what his little nephew and the young man who was born poor said, he only saw his little nephew finally "hook shoulders" and "walk side by side" with the young man.

He leaned against the glass window, except for Yang Zheng and Huanhuan, there was no one around him, and those professional chess players who pursued Wang Yifan had already gone to Wang Yifan to help maintain order after the game.

After a long time, Wang Yifan suddenly opened his mouth and asked Yang Zheng an extremely tricky question.

"Boy, do you think it's right for teachers to ask students to fill in their parents' jobs and incomes when they go to school?"

When Yang Zheng heard this question, he was a little dazed, because this question obviously had nothing to do with chess and this professional chess player assessment.

But he politely replied, "It varies from person to person." ”

"What does it vary from?"

"The quality of the teacher determines the meaning of the words I just said, in my eyes, a good teacher will take care of some poor students who are born so that they will not feel inferior because of their parents' profession."

Yang Zheng very implicitly indicated the meaning of the four words that he had just said that would vary from person to person, and his expression also made Huanhuan on the side nod. He was also very smart and didn't say anything about the bad teacher's performance, which also made Wang Yifan's good impression of this young man improve a lot.

But because of this favor, Wang Yifan said the most controversial words in his life, that is:

"I've always thought this was a good thing, as the saying goes, those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black. Different incomes and occupations can be the most intuitive and best way for teachers to divide students into three, six, nine, etc., and then decide how to tilt their own educational resources. ”

"How can ten years of hard study in the cold window be able to compete with the efforts of several generations of other people's families?"
