Cao Dayuan is a Shanghainese, Yang Hui is also a Shanghainese, these two are chess players, adding up to seventeen paragraphs. Today I will tell the story of the couple.
In Chen Zude's autobiographical work "Beyond Self", Yang Hui appeared, and in the eyes of Chen Zude, who was in his thirties, Yang Hui, who was only fifteen years old, attacked and killed Ling Li, and was a little girl who was not soft on people on the chessboard.
This little girl soon stood out among her peers, because she won the first national individual championship at the age of eighteen, reached three consecutive championships from 1980 to 1982, and won the national individual championship four times in 1985, 1991, 1992, and 1998, she was more powerful than Rui Naiwei, and the two were teammates who had won five national women's team championships, so she was Rui Naiwei's goal and role model for a long time.
Yang Hui was born in 1963, the same age as Rui Naiwei, when they and Kong Xiangming (born in 1955) were in the national training team, studying and training together, and later some good people called Kong Xiangming, Yang Hui, Rui Naiwei and Zhang Xuan (born in 1968) the four kings of the women's Go world, this title is really far-fetched, so it is not widely circulated.
Hua Xueming is actually older than Yang Hui, Rui Naiwei is also one year older, she also trained in the Shanghai team at the beginning, and then because a team can only have two main players on the field, she is not willing to get the opportunity to play, she turned to the People's Liberation Army, partnered with Kong Xiangming, and became the biggest competitor of the Shanghai team.

Yang Hui
When Yang Hui's domestic achievements were outstanding and emerging, Cao Dayuan was just a promising young man in the Go national training team who had just emerged.
Perhaps because of the same Shanghainese, Cao Dayuan and Yang Hui have a sense of regional closeness. Some people say that Qian Yuping is also from Shanghai, maybe he also has a crush on Yang Hui? But Qian Yuping is four years younger than Yang Hui and is a younger brother. Moreover, Qian Yuping has an unusual quality and never hides his feelings for himself, so his spiritual world seems to be transparent. According to Cao Zhilin's article, he likes the new beautiful saleswoman from a nearby store, who can run to buy things several times a day, and is poured cold water by a colleague: "How many times do you buy things, so that she can like you?" Qian Yuping is not good at flirting with his sister, his expression is clumsy and direct, and he has no privacy and reservations about his friends, and his somewhat "pedantic" performance puts himself in an extremely unfavorable position in the love contest.
Well, without talking about Qian Yuping, back to Cao Dayuan, his achievements in the national training team are firmly at the top, and after Nie and Ma, there is the title of "Liu Cao Jiang Shao Qian" Five Tiger Generals, and most of these people have also become the main Force of the Chinese side in the future Sino-Japanese Go Tournament.
Cao Dayuan Yang Hui became famous very early, Cao Dayuan won the challenge right of the "New Sports Cup" in 1981, and in 1985 and 1986, he won the right to challenge consecutively, and in 1986 he took Ma Xiaochun off the horse.
Cao Dayuan is relatively fat, chess is also relatively thick, it belongs to the kind of big picture view is better, not a pound, very atmospheric, not to play small tricks in the corners and corners.
Cao Dayuan's domestic results have been good, ranking in the top five. It is very telling that he had the opportunity to play in the first to third Sino-Japanese Go Tournament, but he did not win, the first time he lost Koichi Kobayashi, the second kobayashi Jue,
In particular, on December 20, 1987, the third Sino-Japanese Go Tournament, he lost to his bitter hand Hiroshi Yamashiro in Tokyo. After returning to China, he won nie Weiping in the domestic Go Tianyuan Battle. For a time, he became the object of criticism from chess fans.
Cao Dayuan
There is no time to argue, and there is no chance to defend. Choosing to become a professional Go player, Cao Dayuan is bitter and self-aware.
In 1988, Cao Dayuan and Yang Hui got married in a low-key manner. The combination of 26-year-old Cao Dayuan and 25-year-old Yang Hui, I don't know how the parties feel, it should be very happy, but many onlookers feel that Yang Hui is the first woman to marry Cao Dayuan, just like a flower planted on cow dung.
The personalities of the two are also very different, Cao Dayuan, giving people the feeling that he is kind and gentle, whispering softly, and often has a smile on his face. On the contrary, Yang Hui has a strong personality and is not easy-going at all.
Before them, nie weiping and Kong Xiangming, teammates who also belonged to the national team, came together, but Nie Weiping and Kong Xiangming's personalities were very distinct, belonging to the type of competition and competition, so they were not optimistic about insiders, and sure enough, their marriage also came to an end in 1991.
After them, Rui Naiwei and Jiang Zhujiu also came together, Rui Naiwei has an introverted personality, and Jiang Zhujiu, who has a rough appearance and a bold personality, is interdependent and can learn from each other's strengths, so that such a marriage is very stable.
Cao Dayuan usually in life, big things and small feelings are always by Yang Hui's temperament, even if sometimes his wife's temper is really unreasonable, he will always accept it. Let's take an example.
In May 2001, the two teamed up to compete in the mixed doubles competition, and in the second round they were chen Zude and Hua Xueming. The chess game entered the middle stage, Yang Hui wanted to kill the chess, so he took a step to lean on, according to the coherent idea, the next hand Cao Dayuan must be broken, otherwise the killing chess will not continue. Perhaps feeling that killing chess was unreasonable, Cao Dayuan did not break it, but played the chess elsewhere. Unexpectedly, Yang Hui directly said, "How did you get here?" Then I will not get off, concede. Cao Dayuan was immediately dumbfounded. This chess game obviously has to be played. So he did not hesitate to violate the law and punished him to answer on behalf of his wife, but when it was Yang Hui's turn, she still said: "I will not go down." Cao Dayuan had to concede defeat to the referee, and Yang Hui did not spare Cao Dayuan after the game: "Will you judge the situation?" Cao Dayuan muttered quietly, "Chess obviously has it." ”
Cao Dayuan and Yang Hui's personalities are opposed, but there is complementarity, and Cao Dayuan knows how to avoid concessions, so the marriage between the two of them is relatively stable.
Married for decades, the two became models in the chess world.
Cao Dayuan and Yang Hui
Since you want to write about Cao Dayuan and Yang Hui, then 1994 is absolutely impossible to get around, and let's talk about 1994, which is of great significance to both of them.
Before this year, Cao Dayuan's results were tepid, and he lost chess in the world championships in a row, giving him a temperament that had given up his career.
At the first Fujitsu Cup in 1988, he was half-blinded to Masaki Takemiya, who later became the champion.
In 1990, he lost to Hiroshi Yamashiro in the third Fujitsu Cup.
In the 3rd Toyo Securities Cup in 1990, he was half-blinded to Lin Haifeng, a chess player in Japan.
In the fourth Fujitsu Cup in 1991, he was half-blind to Yoshio Ishida, and even the peak period had passed, and opponents 14 years older than him could not be determined, and Cao Dayuan had no sense of existence in the world of Go.
In 1987, Yang Hui became the female pioneer of the third Sino-Japanese Go Tournament. The main reason is said to be because she defeated Nie Weiping in domestic competitions, although Rui Naiwei was a female pioneer in the second Sino-Japanese Go Tournament, but compared with Rui Naiwei in 1986 in the selection match with Kong Xiangming and Yang Hui, Yang Hui was undoubtedly lucky. In 1993, with the status of the 1992 national women's champion, Yang Hui was able to participate in the sixth Fujitsu Cup Go Tournament, she seized the opportunity to make a splash, the black half-eye won the Takemiya Masaki, compared with her husband always half-eye lost the key game, the wife's luck is more than a star and a half.
In the second round, she met Cho Hyun-hyun, the top Korean go player, and Yang Hui was 10 eyes behind in the final game, and she insisted until the end game to prove how much she wanted to win this game.
In early 1994, Yang Hui reached the final of China's newly created chess battle throne battle, her opponent in the final was Liu Xiaoguang, from February 6 to February 8, the final was played, she lost to Liu Xiaoguang, won the second place, which was also her last appearance in the chess battle between male and female chess players, after which she disappeared for a long time.
The media did not say, I said directly, Yang Hui in 1994 fell into the building accident. The accident occurred at Yang Hui's home in Shanghai, where she jumped from the fourth floor with unknown consequences. Yang Hui and Cao Dayuan usually train in Beijing, of course, before getting married, they lived in the collective dormitory, and now they are married, they belong to the double worker, that year the Go team had the opportunity to divide the room in Beijing, it is reasonable to say that they should be assigned, but I don't know where it is stuck, and the result of the room is that they don't have a share.
I checked, Cao Dayuan was 32 years old at the time, Yang Hui was 31 years old at the time, married for six years, is it shallow qualifications, or is the housing resources tight? unknown.
Yi Cao Dayuan's personality, probably ready to be calm and reasonable with the leader, Yang Hui's personality is not like this, she found an opportunity to argue with the relevant leaders, but still has no housing qualifications. Both men were very angry, so they both returned to their hometown of Shanghai. After returning to Shanghai, Yang Hui lived in her parents' home, and the more Yang Hui thought about it, the more angry she became, she felt too embarrassed, and the persuasion of her parents did not get the point. Yang Hui couldn't think for a moment, and she jumped off the building. At the time, her parents were living on the fourth floor.
Good things don't go out, bad things spread far and wide. This incident made the Chinese chess academy very embarrassing.
The president of the China Chess Academy belongs to the leadership of the main hall and is subordinate to the State General Administration of Sports. The president of the Chinese Chess Academy is the actual decision-maker and leader of Chinese Go, and the person sitting on this throne at this time is Chen Zude, of course, the matter of dividing the house does not belong to him, but there is no doubt that the manager is his subordinate, and this matter is finally consulted by the superior, the actual operation of the subordinate, and at the same time, in order to appease Cao Dayuan and his wife, they were immediately assigned a house in Beijing. Yang Hui's life is worry-free, which belongs to the great fortune of misfortune, and the struggle of Cao Dayuan Yang Hui and his wife has also borne fruit. However, there are still prerequisites for dividing the house, because the Chinese Chess Academy has issued a media gag order for this purpose.
The national media must not report on the reasons for jumping off buildings.
We draw the point ah, the house did not have before, now there is an accident, explain what, everyone thinks for themselves. Of course, the media is also facing the problem of giving chess fans an explanation. So the low-key hint that Yang Hui's spirit was wrong and came to an end.
It should be said that this incident has greatly stimulated Cao Dayuan, far greater than anything else, compared with his own Go career, his wife's physical and mental health is undoubtedly the first, Cao Dayuan himself said that he is like dying once. He felt that nothing in his life or career was smooth.
Painfully, Cao Dayuan's personal small universe finally broke out in 1994, he not only won the national individual championship, but also won three consecutive rounds in a state of one-to-three backwardness in the new chess battle "Overlord Battle", reversing the opponent Yu Bin to win the championship. In the "Top Ten Chinese Go Matches", he ranked first in the group, and lost to Nie Weiping in the final to win the second place. He also had a remarkable record in the foreign war, he defeated the former bitter hand Hiroshi Yamagi, the Japanese vice coach Satoshi Kataoka in the 9th Sino-Japanese Go Tournament, and finally he defeated the Japanese coach Masao Kato, thus personally ending the tournament. In short, during that time, Cao Dayuan's chess game went crazy. It is true that people block killing, and Buddhas block killing Buddhas. His magical state continued until 1995, when Cao Dayuan won the first "NEC" Cup the following year. He also beat South Korea's popular young student Lee Sedol in the 8th Fujitsu Cup to reach the quarterfinals.
Don't ask Cao Dayuan why this is so, just because there is a fire burning in his heart.
After Cao Dayuan retired, just in the transition period on the road to the professionalization of Chinese Go, Cao Dayuan seized the opportunity, he decisively served as the head coach of the Shandong Go team, in this position, he worked hard to discover new people, such as he recruited the young rookie Jiang Weijie, who was also a Shanghainese, to the team, which later successively recruited Zhou Ruiyang, Fan Tingyu and other newcomers, with this team, Shandong Weiqi team from a weak team in the domestic chess world, became the Champion of the Weijia League (2019), They also won the Second National Wisdom Games Go Men's Team Championship.
I have to say that Cao Dayuan knows people well and is properly trained.
Through a period of recuperation, Yang Hui's body gradually recovered, and she once again struggled in the front line of women's Go. Yang Hui won the women's national individual championship for the last time in 1998. It was also her last time to reach the top in The Country.
In 2003, Yang Hui gave birth at the age of forty, after which he completely faded out of the line, and taught his son at home, leaving only Cao Dayuan to continue to work in the Go circle.
This shows that Yang Hui only took four years from his injury in 1994 to the peak of his chess strength, but it took more than ten years to completely recover his health.
