Chapter 53: China-Japan Go Arena Competition(1/2)
Qin Hao and Li Jia walked in the messy alley one after another.
"I have lived here for several years, but in fact I have always wanted to escape here. You should understand the feeling of living under someone else's roof. It's the kind of feeling that others say nothing, but you always feel that they are disgusting you." Li Jiayouyou said.
Qin Hao pointed to the sky in the narrow alley: "Since the day you were admitted to college, your body has left here. You have to learn to let your heart go out."
"How can you let your heart go out and how did you do it?" Li Jia paused.
Qin Hao said seriously: "You care too much about other people's attitude towards you. In fact, many times when you observe carefully, you will find that others may not have time to pay attention to you, just like the aunts in front of you who are washing clothes. They may be thinking about something to eat for lunch or where to watch TV at night."
"Tell you a secret. Whenever you feel that others are paying attention to you, you will silently recite in your heart: they are all wood."
Li Jia rolled her eyes: "Isn't this a hidden bell?"
"No, to be precise, dead pigs are not afraid of boiling water."
"You think everyone is as shameless as you."
"So I won't be bothered by these things. If I have these random thoughts, I might as well think about how I can ask you to see a movie or have a cup of coffee."
Li Jia wrinkled her nose gently: "Who is going to watch a movie with you and have coffee?"
"So, I have my own personal worries. Don't look at me being heartless all day long, but it's actually very painful."
Qin Hao's pitiful appearance made Li Jia chuckle. The two of them looked at each other, and a very wonderful smell spread in the air.
However, at this moment, the weather was not good and it started to rain.
The raindrops fell on his face, and Li Jia suddenly woke up, running towards the stairs like a frightened deer.
"Why are you standing there? Keep up with me."
A crisp laughter made Qin Hao, who was still annoyed that God was not doing good, instantly resurrected with blood.
In March, the south of the Yangtze River was raining and in the narrow stairwell of the alley, Li Jia reached out to tidy up her hair, and Qin Hao was only one elbow away from her. This time Li Jia did not hide. Perhaps the space was too closed, or perhaps it was some other reason.
"Draw quickly, I can't hand in my homework after I look back."
Li Jia set up a painting board and began to depict the alley in the rain, while Qin Hao was also painting, but he was painting a sketch.
At first, Li Jia did not notice Qin Hao's strangeness until she glanced at Qin Hao's drawing board. Although the painting had not been completed, she was sure that those eyes were drawing herself.
However, this time Li Jia did not expose it, but continued to bow his head to complete his homework.
I don’t know how long it took, but the rain stopped.
Li Jia suddenly said to Qin Hao.
"Can you give that painting to me?"
"No, I'm going abroad to compete soon, I have to carry it with me."
Li Jia's pretty face flushed: "How can you do this? It's so bad for people to see it."
"It's okay, I'll watch it secretly."
"That won't work, what should I do if I misunderstand it?"
Qin Hao spread his hands: "What is the misunderstanding?"
"Hmph, I'm too lazy to pay attention to you, hurry up and give me the painting." Li Jia frowned and stretched out his hand.
"Then you can give me a photo," Qin Hao said with a shameless face.
"I...I don't have separate photos."
"Then take a photo and take a photo."
"Who wants to take a photo with you?" Li Jia spat.
"You have to cherish this opportunity, otherwise when I come back from Japan, you may have to queue up if you want to take a photo with me." Qin Hao said half-jokingly.
"Who cares about it?"
At this moment, several female classmates walked towards this side and saw Li Jia from afar.
"Li Jia, have you finished drawing? Let's go back, otherwise you won't be able to catch up with the last bus."
Li Jia waved to the others: "Now."
After walking a few steps away, Li Jia suddenly turned around and said, "When will you leave?"
"On March 15th, the visa is already in progress."
Li Jia nodded gently, then ran away quickly and integrated into the female classmates' team.
After several months of preparation, the China-Japan Go Arenas has been finalized. The schedule is to first play six games in Japan, and the remaining games will be held in Beijing.
According to the most conservative estimate, this competition will take at least two months. The most difficult thing for Qin Hao is not the competition but to persuade the head teacher to give him a two-month leave.
At first, the head teacher was unwilling to approve Qin Hao's leave, but later there was no choice but to let the Chinese Chess Academy communicate directly with the principal Tongji. The head teacher was forced to approve him the leave.
When the students learned that Qin Hao was going to Japan to participate in the competition, their first reaction was not how high Qin Hao's Go skills were, but that they envied him for being able to go abroad. Some classmates even asked him to help buy things from Japan, making him feel like he was on a trip.
The night before leaving, Qin Hao was packing his luggage when suddenly Zhuang Tunan walked in.
"Li Jia asked me to give this to you."
Qin Hao opened the envelope and found a color photo inside. The girl in the photo was wearing a light blue long-sleeved shirt, with two black braids on both shoulders, and her smile was as beautiful as a flower.
Turning around, Qin Hao rushed to the airport to meet with the rest of the chess academy, but found that the team this time was much larger than he thought, not only chess players like Nie Weiping, but also many official people, including many reporters.
"Xiao Qin, come here."
The leader of the Chinese Chess Academy this time is Chen Zude, who is also a familiar face.
"I'll introduce you to you. This is Qin Hao, the youngest player in our chess academy and the highest winning rate. So far, no one has been able to win even a small point in his hands."
Upon hearing this, the reporters immediately pointed the camera at Qin Hao.
"Qin Hao's sixth sect, so far you have won the National Go Championship, National Games, and Children's Go Competition. You can be said to have won the domestic Grand Slam. What are your prospects for this overseas competition?"
Qin Hao understated: "Of course it is to defeat the opponent and win the championship."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! As soon as this said, everyone was shocked. The Chinese Chess Academy looked bitter. Chen Zude secretly regretted that he had asked Qin Hao to accept the interview, why didn't he explain a few words?
After the reporters came to their senses, they immediately felt like sharks smelling blood, and they picked up long spears and short cannons to point them at Qin Hao.
"Qin Hao's sixth dan, as far as I know, so far, Chinese chess players have never won when facing several top Japanese chess players. Are you sure that your goal this time is to defeat them and win the championship of this Chinese-Japanese Go ring competition?"
Qin Hao casually said: "Of course..."
Before Qin Hao finished speaking, Chen Zude quickly smoothed out: "Hehe, Qin Hao's sixth lunar meaning is that he will do his best to compete for honor for the motherland."
However, the reporters ignored him at all and continued to question Qin Hao.
"Qin Hao's sixth lunar month, can I log out your words directly?"
"casual."
Chen Zude's eyes turned dark and he quickly took Qin Hao away by checking in.
"Xiao Qin, you have caused a big disaster." Chen Zude smiled bitterly and patted his forehead, saying annoyed: "It's also my fault that I didn't explain to you before. You should try not to accept interviews from reporters in the future."
After getting on the plane, Qin Hao learned from Chen Zude that the goal set by the chess institute this time was to invite Kobayashi Koichi, even if he passed the exam, he would defeat Kobayashi, even if he was a winner, even if he was a big victory, even if he was a big victory, as for defeating the Japanese leader Hideyuki Fujisawa, the chess institute had no idea at all.
Chen Zude continued: "The Japanese team's lineup this time is: Ida Kiki, Kobayashi, Awaji Shuizo, Kataoka Sato, Akira Ishida, Kobayashi Koichi, Masao Kato, Hideyuki Fujisawa, among which Kobayashi, Kato and Fujisawa are all top-notch chess players in Japan, and the other five are also top-notch chess players."
"From historical record, no one has ever defeated Japan's top chess players so far. Even when facing their top chess players, everyone except Nie Weiping is very low."
"It's not about gaining the ambition of others to destroy one's own prestige, but about recognizing the gap between the two sides. The plan we originally formulated within was to deal with it coldly, try to reduce everyone's psychological pressure, and try our best to try..."
However, before Chen Zude finished speaking, Qin Hao's light words made him stunned on the spot.
"Is Japan's top chess player very powerful?"
"This..." Chen Zude couldn't help but smile bitterly. Although he knew that Qin Hao's chess skills were very strong and no one in China was his opponent, after all, he was young, without the experience of international competitions, and had never really faced top Japanese chess players. It was difficult to determine how effective his real combat power was.
Nie Weiping's voice also came from the seat behind: "Old Chen, the matter has happened. Now that this is useless, don't worry about it anymore. I absolutely believe that Xiao Qin's chess power will definitely not be lower than Kobayashi Guangyi and the others."
"Oh, now I can only hope that the domestic side should not make this competition too hot, otherwise..." Chen Zude shook his head. As the leader of the chess academy, he has a great responsibility. The more people pay attention to this Chinese-Japanese Go competition, the more unbearable he will be in the consequences of failure.
However, when you are afraid, you will come to the hotel where you are staying, Chen Zude received a call from the leaders of the China Chess Academy to hold accountable.
The domestic report on this China-Japan Go competition can only be described as overwhelming. It is not just because of Qin Hao's words, but after the reform and opening up, domestic people have been exposed to a lot of foreign information from all aspects. Only then did they realize that the gap between the mainland and the international community was so big.
After five years of accumulation of such emotions, an vent is urgently needed. The official also understands the principle that it is better to be relieved than to block. It happened that this China-Japan Go competition is such an excellent vent. Winning can boost national morale. If you lose, it is just a folk competition, and Go has no mass base, which is harmless.
What made Chen Zude even more trouble was that not only domestic reports, but also Japanese media reported on Qin Hao's remarks. For a time, Japanese media were ridiculing the Chinese Go team, and Qin Hao was naturally pushed to the forefront.
You should know that Japanese Go had a high attention in the 1980s. The Go population was as high as 12 million and had hundreds of high-level players. You should know that Japan's total population was only 116 million at this time, which was equivalent to one out of ten people playing Go. It is hard to imagine that a niche sport like Go could have such a terrifying mass base.
Under such a terrifying mass base, many powerful chess players have naturally been cultivated. In the eyes of the Japanese, Go is their absolute advantage, and any Japanese chess player is enough to sweep the world chess world.
Chess players from other countries can only bow down to Japanese chess players. However, a young chess player like Qin Hao, who is unknown, "clamored" to defeat the top Japanese players and win the championship.
For a time, many Japanese chess players also jumped out and expressed their desire to give Qin Hao and the Chinese Go team a little color.
This time, the main player of the Japanese team, Hideyuki Fujisawa, said in a question from reporters: The game will end when it reaches Akira Ishida. If this is not the case, I will cut my hair and apologize.
No one thinks that Hideyuki Fujisawa is arrogant. After all, according to the past record of Japanese chess players, they do have this strength.
The organizer is naturally quite satisfied with the popularity of the game. In fact, many media reports were also written by them for the reporters. In the opinion of the organizer, the Japanese team will inevitably kill the Chinese team in the first place in this game.
In such a fanatical atmosphere, no one investigated Qin Hao's domestic record. Even if a reporter noticed it, he would only feel that the Chinese chess player was indeed awkward and was killed by a teenager without leaving any remaining.
