Wu tomorrow, walking on the road.

As a well-known veteran in the chess world, he has not been out of the country for a long time.

This time, he was also forced to leave the small rural chess club he opened, and bid farewell to his hometown on the high-speed train that he had never taken.

He has not appeared in front of the world for 15 years, and he still vaguely remembers that he was once evaluated by the media as a sharp sword, because he had fought for a day and a night against several national chess masters who insulted Chinese chess culture for the honor of the country 15 years ago, and finally won a big victory; He also remembers that someone once commented that he was a gentleman, because after that battle, he chose to retreat at the peak and glory of his life and go to the countryside to promote the so-called chess culture.

But only he knows that he has never been a so-called gentleman, let alone a so-called sword, and he has always been just a puddle of mud.

He understands very well that his chess talent since he was a child is actually not high, and he can only become a chess master because of the times and luck. He has been playing chess for nearly 40 years, and his win rate in professional games is an incredible 25%.

He originally thought that his life was like this 25% professional success rate, and when there was no improvement and no hope, the visit of the eight-nation chess delegation to China inadvertently changed his life.

A total of 37 chess masters from eight countries showed disrespectful expressions on their faces after watching the history, culture, rules and historical stories of Chinese chess.

Perhaps in their hearts, Chinese chess is inferior to the national chess and shogi in terms of popularity, dissemination and complexity, or perhaps in their hearts, Go is the chess culture that can truly represent the history of China.

They also kept urging the translator to skip what they saw as a frivolous propaganda campaign, and they also arrogantly picked up the chess pieces on the chessboard that had been polished by the chess maker for a long time and threw them out of the chessboard.

Although everyone present could see from the faces, gestures, and words of the eight-nation delegations their heartfelt disrespect for Chinese chess culture, few people dared to stop it in person and say a few fair words for Chinese chess.

After all, Huaxia chess at that time became the laughing stock of the times after experiencing the impact of artificial intelligence.

Not only that, under the impact of the outside world and the increasingly open Internet, there are many masters of traditional Chinese chess, who are ready to switch to chess, and get closer to the eight-nation delegation, which can undoubtedly make their future road smoother.

However, not every Chinese person is a soft bone, and Wu Mingming is obviously a well-known hard bone.

Although he knows that his chess ability is not excellent, and he also knows that he can only be regarded as an insignificant nobody in the chess world, he has full of enthusiasm and the arrogance that the Chinese nation has always been straight.

In order to fight for Chinese chess, this young man, who was just starting out at that time, "impolitely" challenged the foreign chess players who laughed the most rampantly in the eight-nation delegation.

And the foreign chess player also ignored the obstacles of others and translators, and agreed to Wu Mingming's challenge.

They played traditional chess, and foreign players who were not familiar with the rules were quickly defeated, and his defeat was also excused by many old oilmen who wanted to switch to chess at that time.

The angry Wu Tomorrow heard their "excuse", he silently put the chess pieces outside the chessboard into the chessboard, and he also silently said the three words that he was most proud of and regretted in his life.

Next.

He didn't give face to anyone, nor did he give face to foreign delegations, he sat there for a day, and finally won all the foreign chess players, and even set a record of one against seven, becoming the focus of everyone at that time...

But instead of becoming a hero, he became a sinner at the time.

The crime is to undermine chess diplomacy.

Young and vigorous, he can obviously continue to make a living in professional chess after an apology.

But he didn't want to apologize, and he didn't want to bow his head.

He just silently said the words that embarrassed countless people, and then returned to the countryside from the big city to teach and educate people.

He said that only when Huaxia chess is placed upright on the chessboard will every professional chess player respect it from the bottom of his heart.

Three years after Wu Mingming left the chess world, Wang Buregret became the president of the Xiangqi Association, and the first thing he did was to clear the grievances of Wu Mingming, who was only a third-level chess player at the time, and he also tried his best to add Wu Mingming to the list of chess masters.

Although he also knew that Wu Mingming's chess strength was not high, and even the only way to beat foreign chess masters was to be familiar with the rules.

But he also opened the eyes of many contemporary chess people to things that they could not see on the chess board.

It's called, Self-improvement!

The word self-improvement is also a common trait of everyone who yearns for a better tomorrow in modern Chinese history.

Wu Mingming's victory, as well as his enthusiasm and self-improvement characteristics, make Huaxia chess have a tomorrow that everyone is looking forward to, whether it is at a low point or in the current highlight period.

It's a pity that Wu Mingming didn't know that he was now a chess master.

He just sat on the high-speed train, his face full of hesitation.

He is not young, his health is getting worse and worse, he doesn't know who will come first in the accident and tomorrow, he should have enjoyed his old age in peace, but he walked out of his low-key decades for the sake of the poor left-behind children in his hometown who can't see tomorrow.

He also accepted the invitation of the Chess Association for the first time and went to the city that ruined his chess life to play a game of chess.

The 5,000 yuan is the round-trip fee, which is his reward for participating in the exhibition match of the Chess Association.

This... The insignificant 5,000 yuan, placed in many first-tier cities, is not enough for some rich people to spend overnight.

But in the impoverished village of Wu Mingming's hometown, 5,000 yuan is enough for 50 children to study in the village's middle school for a year.

Wu Mingming thought of this, he couldn't help but smile, and looked at his hand again, the white and slender hand that was once considered by his parents to be a natural pinching chess piece, but now it has become rough and ugly, and even there is black soil that can never be washed between his fingernails.

But now these hands can not only pinch chess pieces, but also farm the land, teach chess and give hope to countless left-behind children.

He was very satisfied with these hands, and he was very satisfied with everything that these hands could change.

He doesn't seem to regret it now, if he hadn't quit the chess world at that time. He may not use his own hands to give his own children in the village, the elderly, and those men and women who want their sons to become Chan, a tomorrow full of hope!
