Simpson, a former football star in the United States, became a star among blacks in the seventies of the last century with superhuman athletic talent, and after retiring, Simpson also became a film actor, and the black policeman in a thriller "Cassandra Bridge" was played by Simpson, and the stills were handsome.
Born in 1947, he reached the pinnacle of sport in 1973, when he set a record at the age of 26, becoming the first person to sprint more than 2,000 yards with the ball in a season.
Simpson
Wu Qingyuan is a well-deserved Go master, the Japanese Go community, and he has a high evaluation.
After Wu Qingyuan's death, Japan's Asahi Shimbun commented on him, "Wu Qingyuan's god first came from him as a Chinese, but laid the cornerstone for modern Go in Japan."
Wu Qingyuan, as the strongest chess player in the Showa era in Japan, not only has in-depth achievements in the chess art itself, but also has made great contributions to the inheritance and talent training of Go, and famous chess players such as Lin Haifeng's honorary Tianyuan and Rui Naiwei Jiudan are all from Wu Qingyuan's disciples.
Wu Qingyuan
Simpson and Wu Qingyuan can't fight each other, but every time I see someone discussing whether Wu Qingyuan is a traitor on the Internet, I think of him.
Let's start with rugby star Simpson.
Unlike famous black stars such as Michael Jordan and "Magician" Elvin Johnson, Simpson was never involved in sponsoring black slum activities and investment projects, and had no interest in political movements such as black rights. In other words, his interest is not in this.
He was more keen to join the golf clubs of wealthy whites.
With the exception of his childhood friend Collins, his buddies were all white.
Ironically, he committed a felony murder in 1994, relying on lawyers' loopholes and the incompetence of the police (Simpson became the biggest beneficiary of suspected innocence in American history because of several major police missteps that invalidated key evidence).
People all over the world know he did it, but so what?
In the past, in order to "get rid of the black", Simpson hired a speech correction expert at great expense, practiced repeatedly, and changed a thick black slum accent.
After being charged with felonies, Simpson still had to rely on his skin color to add points to his poll support, and it is said that some black people voted for the dark-skinned Simpson in order to oppose white people.
Simpson spent all his money to win the case, and even after taking refuge in Florida and relying on nearly $60 million in civil damages, he went bankrupt.
After a good hand of cards was broken, he began the bottomless circle of money operations,
In November 2006, Simpson authorized the publication of "If I Did It" for $800,000, which the publisher declared to be a hypothetical confession describing how Simpson might have committed the crime. Because from the legal point of view, Simpson himself has never admitted to committing a crime, but now that he has made such a play, it is equivalent to playing the edge of the law, and it seems that the poor economic situation has made him hungry.
Less than a year after the money arrived, he was jailed for a gun robbery on July 20, 2007. The sentence is up to 33 years, and the one who should be repaid will eventually be repaid.
Cassandra Bridge
The documentary "Simpson" became the coach of the inmate's football team in prison, and when the reporter suddenly mentioned the murder he committed in 1994, he said with an embarrassed face, Are you sure we are going to talk about this now?
In fact, we all know very well that Simpson was a "playboy" with a reputation of "black and white on the outside".
Occupying abundant resources but not willing to spend them on the welfare of black compatriots, they chose inaction politically.
In terms of private morality, Wu Qingyuan dumped him a few streets, but Wu Qingyuan was also a person who had no feelings about politics.
Now let's talk about Wu Qingyuan's problem, why is he always accused by some people of being a cultural traitor with outstanding chess skills and good personal morality?
Let's first look at what kind of people are called traitors.
For example, Wang Jingwei, who served as the head of the puppet regime and governed North China, called it "saving the country by curve", but the guilt of disintegrating the military's morale and dividing morale could not be escaped.
For example, Zhou Zuoren, a cultural traitor, served as the education director of the puppet government, although he was "the first person in the history of literature to wholeheartedly manage prose and be fruitful", or the brother of mr. Lu Xun, a great literary hero, but so what, is not he nailed to the column of shame in history?
For example, Yoshiko Kawashima, the daughter of Prince Su of the Qing Dynasty, went to Japan at the age of four, but then she did a lot of bad things that hurt nature and reason, and her final outcome is known to everyone.
Let's take a look at what Wu Qingyuan did after he arrived in Japan.
In the far-away politics of Go, Wu Qingyuan single-handedly defeated all the top Japanese chess players and was known as the chess saint of Showa, but he was not born in the era of peace, but grew up in a chaotic world, and from 1937 to 1945, he witnessed the devastation brought about by the war of aggression against China.
In order to play chess well, he first joined The Japanese in 1936, and I think he is a Japanese. Wu Qingyuan himself recognized this.
In 1941, Wu Qingyuan participated in the "Chess Road Report congress" organized by chess players, and went to the military camp to labor the army by playing chess.
In 1942, at the invitation of Kazuo Aoki, an adviser to the "Wang puppet" government in Nanjing, he accompanied Setsukoshi to the Chinese labor army. After arriving in Shanghai, someone next to the hotel posted a sign that read, "Kill the cultural traitor Wu Qingyuan." This shows that someone noticed and pointed out this point at that time.
Wu Qingyuan also posted an article expressing this thought:
Chess should be elevated to the position of national spirit, which exists entirely on the essence of the Japanese national system. And the ideal of "Eight Hong Yi Yu" is also reflected in the chessboard we are familiar with, because the center of the star Tianyuan, also known as "Taiji", if used as an analogy to the royal family of Jin Ou, Tianyuan is the center to dominate the four directions, the other eight star positions are "Eight Hong", the chess art in this space, can be said to be the most sacred entertainment, we chess players in the middle, should more deeply appreciate this layer of new meaning. (Wu Qingyuan, "My Four Understandings of Go", published in the February 1941 issue of Qidao Magazine, an organ of the Japanese Chess Academy.)
This was the main reason why Wu Qingyuan was later widely criticized and called a "cultural traitor".
Of course, his original status as Chinese would not be easily accepted by the Japanese, so he married a Japanese woman, and even gave up returning to China to attend his mother's funeral. Leave the spiritual emptiness and loneliness to religion.
After he was in Japan, he first joined the Japanese Red Cross Society, and then joined the Japanese religious group "Xi Yu Sect", met Xi Guangzun, a Japanese witch, who was repeatedly defrauded of money, lost his residence, and followed Xi Guangzun around.
Wu Qingyuan was miserable, and in the eyes of many Japanese, he still Chinese, but he himself tacitly accepted that he was Japanese, after all, he had spent most of his life in Japan.
Wu Qingyuan's family
There is a movie called "A Game of Chess That Has Not Been Played", it is said that the prototype of the protagonist Guan Amin is Wu Qingyuan, who crossed japan to Japan and won the championship of Japan's biggest title battle, so the Japanese military department could not stand it, and explicitly asked him to join the Japanese nationality, as a result, Amin resolutely opposed the water at the press conference, gave up the title title, and was later killed by Japanese gendarmes when he tried to return to China.
Of course, Wu Qingyuan did not do this, but I sometimes prefer that Wu Qingyuan's ending be similar to that of Guan Amin.
After Wu Qingyuan crossed to Japan in the east, he married and applied for Japanese citizenship. All show that he is a pragmatist, and he will not be martyred for the so-called national righteousness.
Wu Qingyuan and Xiuya played against each other
Wu Qingyuan's master, Kensaku Setsushi, knew the truth about Wu Qingyuan's expulsion from Japan, but he did not tell Wu Qingyuan at the first time, Wu Qingyuan only learned in 1946 that he was stateless for a long time, of course, many nationalists still recognized his Chinese status, but decades later, in 1979, Wu Qingyuan once again applied for Japanese citizenship, at this time he was 65 years old, he explained the reason for the employment of his children.
Wu Qingyuan's so-called political measures, in addition to nationality, are to say to some Japanese soldiers who have a love of Go when they are "laborers", "Please don't abuse Chinese." Whoops, his words and actions seem so pale and powerless.
Wu Qingyuan's two japanese nationals, both with obvious utilitarianism, are typical pragmatists.
Wu Qingyuan is a god-like aura in Go, an ordinary man in life, and has joined the Japanese nationality, but the Chinese blood on his body cannot be erased.
In 1952 and 1965, Wu Qingyuan went to Taiwan twice, twice received by Chiang Kai-shek, and had contact with Senior Officials who liked Go, such as Bai Chongxi and Zhou Zhirou.
At this time, he seemed to be a national hero.
Wu Qingyuan and Mei Lanfang
In 1956, Wu Qingyuan met Master Mei Lanfang, and the two people took a group photo.
What I want to say is that in terms of national righteousness, Mei Lanfang has a beard and does not sing to the Japanese, which is absolutely good.
Although Wu Qingyuan, who pursues pragmatism supremacy, has a world-class chess level, his political indifference and inaction make it difficult for him to become a national hero in the minds of the people, and he himself knows this very well, so he resolutely refused to join the Japanese Go Hall of Fame before his death, even if he had long been qualified.
In 1960, Wu Qingyuan's teacher, Kensaku Setsushi, was received by Premier Zhou in Beijing.
Premier Zhou said to Setsuki: "Next time, please come to China with Wu Qingyuan." I promise to get him back to Japan. ”
China and Japan establish diplomatic relations, China's Go cause is in ruins, the Chinese people also need a rich spiritual and cultural life, people in the chess circles look forward to letting Master Wu Qingyuan help Chinese chess players improve their chess skills, Master Wu Qingyuan is also willing to cooperate, he even hopes that Chen Zude and Chen Ximing can live in their own homes, so as to better improve their skills.
The similarity between Wu Qingyuan and the American Simpson is what I have summed up: politics is insensitive and inactive.
Time has passed, and Master Wu Qingyuan also left the human world forever in 2014.
The rules of Go are so elegant, vibrant, near-perfect and impeccable. If there are other intelligent civilization creatures in the universe, they are almost certainly playing Go.
Wu Qingyuan lived a hundred years old, and he has a passage that represents his heart, he said: "Go can bring happiness, it is the best thing." ”
