Dongdong's last opponent in the morning is an extremely special opponent.
Her name is Red Sakura and she is a thirty-year-old woman, but unlike many other women, she is naturally deaf and mute.
Deaf-mute people are the most common and most discriminated against in the country.
According to the National Crime Data Report, there are about 27 million deaf people in the country, but only 1% of them have higher education.
At the same time, in the national statistics on the crime rate of people with disabilities, the crime rate of the deaf and mute group is obviously higher than that of other people with disabilities.
This is not to say how bad the nature of the deaf and dumb people is, on the contrary, there are too many healthy people in this world whose hearts are black and their hearts are bad.
Red Sakura was not born well, she was born with flaws, and her family is not very happy. Her father died young, her mother remarried, and she was raised by her grandmother alone from an early age.
But she was not defeated by life because of her own shortcomings and the poverty of her family.
On the contrary, until now, she still has a light in her eyes that ordinary people do not have, and she is always confident.
Her self-confidence comes from a word.
And this sentence is also what her grandmother, who raised her alone, will always say to her often in sign language and lip language.
That is, if a person wants to grow up, he must first learn to be strong.
The old man in the countryside who had never read a book or been to a big city also used her later experience to tell her what it means to be strong.
Hong Ying probably can't forget it in her life, her grandmother, who has never read a book and only knows a few big characters, will go to learn Chinese pinyin again, read and write at the age of 60 for herself.
She probably can't forget that this rural old man, who is not smart, and even a little clumsy, not only learned Chinese pinyin, reading and writing, but also learned sign language that only the deaf and mute can know.
She will always remember that her grandmother learned sign language by looking at the neighbor's TV, repeatedly imitating the movements of the non-stop sign language presenter under the news.
This kind of non-stop learning, this kind of struggle to surpass her own ability for the sake of her family, is also the strength that her grandmother often used to say to her in sign language and lip language.
But it is not enough to be strong in life.
Especially after she came to the big city, she saw countless things that could not be changed with strength.
……
Dongdong learned from the referee and the commentary that the sweet-looking big sister opposite was actually a deaf and mute person, and her mood suddenly became very complicated.
There is admiration, there is emotion, and of course, there is a dilemma.
Because, she looked at the ranking score on the big sister's badge opposite, and she understood that if the big sister lost this game.
Then she can only become the most ordinary third-level chess player, which may be her starting point and the end of her future.
So what should you do?
Dongdong fell silent.
……
"Do you know why people with disabilities are participating in this game?"
A young chess master who was sitting next to Yang Zheng who was bored looked at the spotlight and suddenly hit him and Yang Zheng, and he suddenly came to his senses and began to ask Yang Zheng, who was speechless after the game started, this difficult question to answer.
This chess grandmaster looks to be in his early thirties, young and handsome, with sound limbs, and with his status as a chess grandmaster and a fancy suit, he can be called an elite of society. But from his tone and the hypocritical smile on his face, Yang Zheng could see that he didn't respect people with disabilities at all.
But, so what?
And how many people in the country really respect people with disabilities from the bottom of their hearts?
Not to mention respect, equality is difficult.
Especially in the eyes of young people like them, who are young and ambitious, proud, and in the best era, they can't rub a little sand.
Indeed, people with disabilities are sand in the eyes of many.
"Why?" Yang Zheng lowered his head and asked back.
"Because, she doesn't like fairness." Another elderly chess grandmaster, she looked into the spotlight and said the reason before the young people.
She is also a woman, and she looks like she is in her early forties, but in her eyes, there is still no respect, but a trace of disgust.
"As you know, people with disabilities have a special mechanism for testing chess players. They will also differ in physical impairment and move towards different testing mechanisms. This is to keep every chess player fair, but this woman has never liked fairness. ”
The female chess master was a little helpless.
As she said, people with disabilities will also set up relatively fair tests such as blind chess and listening chess because of their physical disabilities.
But the woman present was very persistent.
In other words, she probably never thought that she would be worse than the able-bodied, and at least for the past twelve years, she has been signing up for the able-bodied professional chess player test.
But also, because of her body and her extremely bad experience.
She took the professional chess player exam and almost never passed.
This is also because she used to be a thief, a thief who stole books.
……
Her chess play is very average, usually to the point where she thinks she can easily win in more than 20 rounds.
But her chess is upright and open.
Because she didn't set the traps that chess players are used to setting in each of her hands.
This also caused the woman to lose the biggest piece rook on her board on the tenth round.
But there was no panic on her face, but an expression of enjoyment.
She enjoys the joy that chess can bring her.
After all, this is also the only entertainment that is not a luxury when she and her grandmother are in the country.
Although her grandmother didn't know a few big characters, she knew the Chinese characters on chess, and she often told her that life is like chess, and everyone has the right to choose how to move their next move.
This old man in the countryside, although her life is very ordinary and ordinary, her chess is extraordinary and uneventful.
At least within a radius of a hundred miles, no matter whether they are men, women, young or old, they are no match for her.
Even when the only professional chess player in the town came to challenge this country grandmother, he admired her ordinary and extraordinary chess skills.
She learned chess from an early age under the tutelage of her grandmother.
But she has no talent, and she is born deaf and dumb, even if she is trying, her chess ability is only one line higher than that of ordinary chess enthusiasts.
But her grandmother never complained about her, but praised her chess.
Because, the chess she plays is upright and above board.
Just like her simple temperament, she feels gratified.
She was old and knew her days were numbered.
She probably only has her granddaughter as the only concern in her life.
But when she saw her granddaughter playing chess, she suddenly let go of the only concern in her heart.
Because, she feels that an upright and simple person can live as well as she in this world.
is also because she has always believed that kindness by nature will definitely bring a good ending to life!
