Yang Zheng has an advantage, as long as he decides to do something, he will never give up halfway.

Although he also had failures in his life, he never lacked the courage to start over after failure, which was the case before, is like this now, and will most likely be like this in the future.

After Yang Zheng asked Lao Zhou Muzi about the date of the cup, he began to practice every day.

At the age of thirty-one, he suddenly looked forward to the game.

……

The news that the Xiangqi Association, the Chess Academy, and the non-governmental organization jointly held the Muzi Cup also gave hope to chess lovers across the country.

Especially for older chess enthusiasts, who wouldn't want to become a professional chess player?

Even the Four Heavenly Kings of Happiness Park looked at the news and fantasized about their future.

Sometimes, a slim hope can change the lives of millions of people.

Lao Li, Lao Zhang, Thin Monkey, the real iron triangle in this happy park, fantasized about the future of becoming a professional chess player after just signing up for the competition.

Even Lao Li, who loves to dream, plans to let his eight-year-old grandson participate in the Muzi Cup competition, he thinks, maybe his grandson is the genius chess prodigy who is one in ten thousand.

Speaking of Lao Li's grandson, he is indeed a talented chess prodigy, and when other peers pee their pants to draw maps, Lao Li's grandson will already use the small routine of jumping with a cannon horse.

At the age of seven, they won the championship in the chess tournament held by their school.

It's a pity that Lao Li's family conditions are really not good, Lao Li, who has been refining steel all his life, was helplessly laid off under the torrent of the times, and then did some small business, not only was cheated of all his savings for decades by the bad guys, but also owed a lot of debt.

And his son who wants to be Jackie Chan has had some bad habits of stealing chickens and dogs since he was a child, not only did he end up in the game, but even Lao Li's daughter-in-law couldn't stand this kind of day when she could never see hope, and left the child to disappear without a trace.

It's a pity that Lao Li is 75 years old, and he is still pedaling on the street with the so-called special three-wheeler, while paying off debts and providing for his grandson to go to school.

Although life is not kind to Lao Li, Lao Li can always find happiness in this seemingly hopeless day.

Lao Li always says that he is an idealist, and although Lao Li, who is not highly educated, does not know what idealism is, but he can be full of bright smiles every time because of the four big words idealism.

Lao Zhang, Skinny Monkey and everyone in Happiness Park all know that Lao Li is not easy, and they have also had countless thoughts to help Lao Li. But Lao Li has a very stubborn personality, he is not as flexible as the previous park man Uncle Li, he is a very pedantic and slow person with strong self-esteem, he thinks that as long as he can pedal three wheels, he doesn't need anyone's favor.

But Lao Li, who has a stinky and hard temper, still has a weakness, that is, his grandson, he doesn't want his grandson to be as unproductive as him, he wants his grandson to become a man who stands up to the sky.

But every man who stands up to the sky is not so easy to become, because behind them, there will be a person who pays silently, Lao Li is also paying silently, he looked at the Yang Zheng he knew, who can be said to be the only "promising" Yang Zheng, he also lowered his head and asked how the chess club charged.

Yang Zheng looked at Lao Li's dodgy eyes, and he truthfully told Lao Li the standard of student fees for the students, but he also lied.

It is said that the chess society exempts gifted students from tuition and fees for learning chess.

This is made up by Yang Zheng, but it also gives Lao Li hope.

Lao Li felt that his grandson was definitely talented, and he took his grandson to Happiness Park to play chess almost every day after that day.

It can also be seen that his grandson is indeed talented, although he is not as good as the adults in the park, but he is also making steady progress.

And this Muzi Cup competition also made Lao Li fantasize about his grandson's future.

But Lao Zhou, as the "Fifth Heavenly King" who integrated into this small circle, he didn't like Lao Li very much, an idealist, and he was not optimistic about his grandson's future.

Especially as the frequency of playing chess increases, Lao Li's grandson is obviously a little more impatient in his eyes, which makes Lao Zhou feel that Lao Li and his grandson are not suitable for the career of chess.

Lao Zhou is a strange old man with a violent temper, except for the chess players in the chess circle, he has almost no friends in reality, and as he gets older, he sees more and more transparently, he can even see life and death clearly, not to mention the ethereal dreams of these idealists.

However, he did not say his thoughts to Lao Li in person, first, he had some sympathy for Lao Li, and second, he pitied Lao Li and his grandson, because Lao Zhou felt that the dream of such a young child being imposed on adults would not become a big deal in the end. He only mentioned a few words to Yang Zheng that he was not optimistic about Lao Li's grandson.

But Lao Zhou didn't expect that Yang Zheng seemed to be very optimistic about Lao Li's grandson, although he also saw the impatience in Lao Li's grandson's eyes, but he smiled and said that Lao Li's grandson liked chess very much.

Because after losing the game, this child will take the initiative to review and find out the reason.

This is a talent that many people can't learn, and it's the reason why many people fail and collapse.

Admitting failure and seeing failure clearly will make yourself have the courage to get up after falling in the future.

Lao Zhou looked at Yang Zheng and suddenly felt that he had changed a lot.

In the past, although Yang Zheng had a good character and understanding of playing chess, he always lacked a pair of eyes to see things clearly, but now he can not only see many things clearly, but also see himself clearly.

Although Lao Zhou was curious, he didn't ask, because for him now, this change in Yang Zheng is always a good thing.

"People who bring hope are often people who are full of expectations for their future."

This is Yang Zheng's perception of playing chess in the past six months, and he also understands that this truth will change his life.

There are many idealists like Lao Li, there are men and women, old and young, according to incomplete statistics, the number of amateur chess enthusiasts who signed up for the Muzi Cup has already exceeded one million.

This is a problem for the Chess Association and the Chess Academy.

This is a propaganda and an attempt to change.

But is the price behind this a little too high?

The manpower, the venue, and the tournament prize money are expected to set a new record for chess competitions.

But the president of the Xiangqi Association, looking at this group of chess people with sad faces, he said very calmly that there will definitely be many businessmen to sponsor this tournament that is enough to change the status of chess in history.

He said it firmly, but also plainly.

As a businessman, he knows a simple truth, that is, every time a change that can change history, there is always no shortage of speculators behind it.

This is also the reason why Wang Buregret will resolutely choose him as president before he leaves.

He understood that if chess wanted to change its status, it had to have someone with the courage and ideas to try to change history.

When the people dispersed, leaving only a mess, the president of the chess association showed a rare trace of exhaustion on his face.

He looked out the window at the dim night and silently lit a cigarette.

"I guess I'm an idealist too."

He laughed, he inexplicably remembered his best friend who insisted on changing the lives of countless people in the countryside, and he said: "It seems that our game has just begun. ”
