37 A good game of chess
Technology changes lives.
Thirty years ago, most people would have thought of them as a joke.
When Yang Zheng was young, electronic products were like beasts in the eyes of most parents.
But nowadays, it seems that nothing is inseparable from "technology".
Yang Zheng can't remember how long he hasn't brought cash, and he can't remember when he can't do without his phone or computer.
Whether it's work or life.
Mobile phones and computers are like two shackles that trap him in the real world.
It also reminded him of a fragment from a book he had read as a teenager.
The book says, "It's the best of times and it's the worst of times; This is an age of wisdom, this is an age of stupidity; It's a time of trust, it's a time of doubt.
It's a season of light, it's a season of darkness; This is the spring of hope, this is the winter of disappointment; There is everything in front of people, and there is nothing in front of people; People are on the road to heaven, people are walking towards the gates of hell. ”
Of course, he remembers that someone once said that this was still "our time".
It's just that Yang Zheng looked at the children in front of him who were full of vitality and proficient in using mobile phones and computers.
It suddenly occurred to him that this was not "their" time.
……
"Isn't this Teacher Xiao Yang?" The little fat man and Dongdong looked at Yang Zheng sitting upright on the judges' seat, and the two had different ideas.
Although the little fat man has never taken Yang Zheng's class, his teacher Wang Qi has an extremely high evaluation of Yang Zheng.
She even called Yang Zheng the most powerful of all the amateur chess players she had ever seen. But in the eyes of the little fat man, or more precisely, in the education of the little fat man, amateur chess players are "ordinary chess enthusiasts" who cannot get on the table, even if they are high, they are at the bottom of the chess world in their lives.
They can be described as difficult to get into the hall of elegance.
So he was only angry that Yang Zheng could sit in the judges' seat in addition to shock.
He seemed to feel that Yang Zheng was defiling the chess in his heart, which was a noble mental exercise and a key that could bring him an extraordinary future.
In the plan of his parents and uncle, the opponents he will face in the future are all proud children who can become professional chess players like him.
But Dongdong is diametrically opposed to what the little fat man thinks, she has never won when playing against Yang Zheng, and she feels that it is a matter of course that Yang Zheng can sit on the judges' seat.
She was a little proud and happy.
This feeling is like a niche thing that she has treasured for a long time and only knows about herself, and suddenly one day it is sought after by thousands of people, so she can't do it.
She proudly looked at the quasi-professional chess players around her who had different expressions because of the "amateur master" written on the nameplate in front of Yang Zheng, and she slowly returned to her former calm.
Because, as a big disciple, she must fight for the "master" on the stage today.
Although the quasi-professional chess players restrained their doubts about Yang Zheng with great self-restraint, the media in the audience were not as easy to talk to as they were.
This can only be blamed on the chess master replaced by Yang Zheng, who can be regarded as an Internet celebrity on the Internet.
With high chess power, humor, and a poisonous tongue from time to time, the unremarkable chess master took advantage of the national popularity of chess every day to gain millions of fans in half a month.
Such a gimmicky character is naturally the darling of the media.
Most of the media at the scene also came to him. Although they swore before entering the field that they were for the future of the quintessence.
But the big media on the Internet are used to lying, and because only by lying, they have the attention and heat that those media that believe in the truth do not have.
Throughout the past few years, the media has become more and more outrageous, and even many media have specially invited screenwriters to write stories for the sake of traffic and popularity.
In the hands of those screenwriters, the sparse and ordinary parents have been transformed into a "dark social reality".
Obviously, there are more good people than bad people in this world.
It is also clear that in this world, the loyalty of love cannot be measured by money.
But in the hands of these media, love, friendship, and family affection have all become transactional goods, and even the world is full of disgusting copper stench.
Therefore, most of their introductions to Yang Zheng, an outsider, were ridiculed.
Some say he was a relative of the president, others said he was a temporary worker, and some even said he didn't know how to play chess at all.
This may also be the truth of the lack of trust in the world today.
Fortunately, this kind of "rotten stalks" did not last long, because the organizers invited another judge who was extremely valuable in the eyes of the media.
That judge is also the spokesperson of Chess every day, an Internet celebrity with tens of millions of fans on the whole network, Qin Xiaolian.
She walked out to the cheers of the crowd.
She was at a low point in her career because she lost to a chess nerd, but she was good at dancing with long sleeves, and she seized the opportunity of the national chess fever to challenge the old chess players on the streets across the country, and became popular again.
Now she faintly has the limelight of the first person in Internet chess, but she is also relatively low-key.
At least the "chess grandmaster" on the homepage was changed and changed by her, and finally became a chess grandmaster.
Obviously, she is not a professional chess player at all, but everyone on the judges' table and the chess people in the audience who know about it are unexpectedly silent at the same time.
Perhaps, in this day and age.
The four big characters of chess master are the four big characters that are the least valuable.
Qin Xiaolian also saw Yang Zheng, and she couldn't forget this "Park God of War" who had no power to fight back in the park.
But she didn't express any displeasure on her face.
She walked beside Yang Zheng and said with a smile on her face: "Master, we meet again." ”
As these eight words fell, the entire venue was in an uproar.
The person who can be called a master by the "chess master" Qin Xiaolian is definitely a real chess master.
Could it be that his strength has reached the level of a chess master?
This is the question of all media people and chess people, when the spotlight hits Yang Zheng's face, when Yang Zheng naturally shows a flat look.
Everyone felt a little wordless pressure when they looked at the nameplate of the amateur master written in front of Yang Zheng.
Yang Zheng smiled.
The lines on his face were still stiff, and the unremarkable appearance on his face slowly became a little more colored with these lines, and his eyes suddenly burst out with a blinding and sharp light.
"It's a good game of chess." Yang Zheng said inexplicable words that made everyone intuitive.
As this sentence fell, on the back of the stage behind Yang Zheng, Wang Yifan stood extraordinarily, and when he heard Yang Zheng's words, he also smiled.
"I'm a 'grudge' person, and this game is my revenge. You have to be careful! ”
