07 Amateur

In the seventies and eighties, there were not many entertainment projects in China, especially in small towns with insufficient electricity, chess was undoubtedly the most popular pastime.

He didn't really like chess from the beginning.

One is because he has never been in contact with chess before, and the other is because he does not dare to consider the word pastime because of the burden of life, but in order to have a good relationship with the adults in the market, he can only bite the bullet and contact chess.

The rules of Xiangqi are very simple, the routines are not too complicated, and he learned Xiangqi in one day's work.

When he played against an adult for the first time, it was as if he had shown his talent for chess.

Obviously playing chess for the first time, he did not concentrate on defense like many novices, but attacked boldly.

It's like his attitude towards his own life. But the blind offense also made his defense fragile, and made his first battle completely lost and lost in a mess.

After the defeat, he seemed to realize that whether he was facing chess or life, he must not only have the courage to attack with indomitable progress, but also have the wisdom to know how to advance and retreat.

Thinking about it, he played chess better and better in the later games, and his attitude towards things was a little more wisdom that only adults have.

Gradually, his life gradually improved, and even became a little more famous because he did not lose to adults in chess.

Some people say that he is a chess genius buried in the market, which has aroused the curiosity of countless people for a while.

The experience of losing his father at a young age, losing his mother at a young age, and giving up his studies to pull his younger siblings is comparable to an inspirational large-scale TV series. Slowly, the eldest brother's originally peaceful life was broken by these "kind" or "ulterior" people.

Many people look at such a "strong" and "talented" teenager on the TV media, and they feel pity.

They contacted various departments, contacted the Chess Association, and seemed to want to save the young man who was deep in the mud from the mud pit.

But in this world, there are too many "good intentions" with other purposes, and at that time, several companies saw the business potential of the big brother. Although there was no concept of Internet celebrity and traffic in the eighties and nineties, many business-minded people, looking at the extraordinary experience of the eldest brother, have formulated a "star plan" for the eldest brother.

At that time, although the Internet was not developed, many people had no concept of the Internet. But in the 90s, the popularity of television was also getting higher and higher, and many documentaries and variety shows slowly appeared in the prototype.

Four or five smart businessmen wanted to make a documentary or a variety show about the big brother, and they promised the big brother that if the big brother was recorded by the camera according to their requirements, they would pay the big brother a lot of money to the broken family.

Looking at the money that can only be earned for at least ten years, it is fake that the eldest brother is not impressed.

After all, as long as he has this large amount of money, his life will definitely be much easier, and he can even go back to school...

But after a night of careful consideration, the eldest brother still chose to refuse.

Many people say that the eldest brother is stupid, hopelessly stupid, and does not know how to seize the opportunities of life. There are also many people who say that the eldest brother is too "selfish", he has to live so hard, and he has to live so hard with his younger siblings.

But the eldest brother knew that as long as he accepted the money, his younger siblings would never have much benefit.

After all, his mother had told him more than once that there was never a free lunch in this world.

After so many years, he looked at his younger siblings who had achieved success in their studies, and he did not regret his original decision.

The eldest brother who left the arena passed by a noodle shop, and at the door of the noodle shop, several uncles were fighting with a pair of chess.

Most of these uncles are neighbors who were eliminated in the first round, they all know each other, and they already know what they will win or lose.

Seeing the eldest brother coming, they also laughed, because they also knew that according to the strange nature of the eldest brother, he would not be able to go to the end like them.

They beckoned the eldest brother to play chess together, and the eldest brother did not refuse, and after deciding the outcome of the game, he replaced the losing uncle.

He watched the freewheeling plating, listening to the chatter around him about the game, and a happy smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

After all, for an amateur chess player like him, victory or defeat is not important, and the only important thing in life seems to be the mood of playing chess and the feeling after playing chess.
