Chairman Mao played table tennis, holding a large knife in his hand, and was informal, and many people had seen that photo, but the photo of Premier Zhou playing table tennis was rare and very rare.
The woman who had the privilege of playing with Premier Zhou and being frozen by the camera was former table tennis world champion Zheng Minzhi.
Premier Zhou played table tennis
In the 1970s, the marriage between Chen Zude and table tennis player Zheng Minzhi was once a good story.
Zheng Minzhi
In 1958, fifteen-year-old Chen Zude entered the Shanghai Sports Palace for the first time to participate in the Go training, where he met for the first time the fourteen-year-old Zheng Minzhi who conducted table tennis training, and for a brief moment, he was deeply attracted by the petite and cute Qianying.
Chen Zude hid this feeling in the depths of his heart for eleven years.
Chen Zude is a person who loves to read, Zheng Minzhi's Qianying is so beautiful and attractive to Chen Zude, many years later he wrote in his autobiography that "she is so petite, petite is that you can't believe that she is actually an athlete", what literary image to describe her? Chen Zude remembered Dickens's "David. The image of Dora in Copperfield. From the photos, Zheng Minzhi is shrewd and capable, she is nicknamed "Xiaoyanzi", and is said to be more willful. This is the first impression that Zheng Minzhi left on Chen Zude.
Years later, twenty-six-year-old Chen Zude wrote his first love letter to Zheng Minzhi.
Premier Zhou received Zheng Minzhi
He was reckless, reckless enough not to consider whether she had an object or not, nor did he consider whether the love letter he sent out would touch a nose of ash, he thought of it and did it. At that time, Zheng Minzhi did have a boyfriend, but Chen Zude and Zheng Minzhi really had a fate, so they later had their first date.
Chen Zude is a man with thick lines, he and Zheng Minzhi did not even tell his own sister before dating, and later became a famous writer Chen Zufen.
Chen Zufen was two years older than Chen Zude and cared about her brother's affairs, including marriage, of course, so she told herself to find a good partner for her brother, and there was a date that night, chen Zude told the truth to her sister who was wrapped up.
So the writer's sister was also dumbfounded, how is this good?
Chen Zude
Soon her mind was wide open, and she thought of another move.
In order not to make the girl who is dating sad, of course, it is for her to find another young man with good conditions and better looks, let's call it an excellent youth. So on the day of the date, a strange two-plus-one combination, Zude, Zuffin, and excellent young men and young women in the dark met in the park, and the kind and simple girl encountered such a situation for the first time, overwhelmed, and her self-esteem was hurt. Even if Chen Zufen explains and brags about the appearance of another young man, the conditions are good in all aspects, but the simple girl is also unacceptable, this farce of changing people reflects people's personality from the side, Chen Zude and Chen Zufen are inexperienced people, the latter is kind to do bad things.
However, Zu Fen's experience of introducing the object for his brother ended here.
The competition lasted for more than 9 hours, and Chen Zude won the first victory over Masao Sugineuchi (1963)
After that, Chen Zude and Zheng Minzhi dated alone.
Chen Zude and Zheng Minzhi's first date was very interesting. It was an afternoon, Chen Zude socialized a lot, drank a few beers before going to the appointment, did not want Zheng Minzhi to be a very astute person, did not say two words to smell the wine, directly asked "have you drunk wine"? Chen Zude really can't deny it, simply confessed that he has this hobby, plus the Chinese Go training team often has banquets and other socializing, and indeed drank, please don't be surprised. Seeing that the other party was so frank, Zheng Minzhi was also relieved.
Chen Zude asked her what she wanted to eat? Zheng Minzhi replied that he wanted three cents of small bean popsicles. Three-cent bean popsicle? That's also too good to send off! Chen Zude said you should eat a few sticks. Answer six. It was a bit unexpected. In fact, Zheng Minzhi was also a person with low eyesight, and only ate four of them, and the other two had to watch them melt away. What Zheng Minzhi did not expect was that Chen Zude, a strong man of one meter and seven seven, was also about to be melted away by love. Chen Zude's meticulous description of love in his autobiography truly restores their love story.
China implements the dan position system, and the first batch of fixed section team members
Zheng Minzhi mentioned that table tennis matches should be fought hard, and Chen Zude's exhaustion on the chessboard is not a kind of struggle? Hard work becomes the common denominator between the two sides, and hard work also makes the two of them attract each other.
Chen Zude was one of the first professional nine-dan players in China. Before Nie Weiping, he was the de facto first Chinese Go player. In 1961, chen Zude entered the national Go training team at the age of seventeen, and he won the national individual championship of Go three times in 1962, 1964 and 1974. He was actually a generation of chess players who were delayed by the Cultural Revolution, and The famous Taiwanese star Shen Junshan recalled that Chen Zude looked more like a polite and easy-going scholar at first glance, but people could not be disguised, chen Zude was extremely powerful on the chessboard, which was a typical offensive and killing style of chess. In 1963, Chen Zude defeated Japan's Kudan Sugitan Masao for the first time, and in 1965, Chen Zude defeated Japan's Kudan Iwata Tatsuaki for the first time.
Later, Chen Zude served as the president of the Chinese Chess Academy for a long time (1992-2003), the chairman of the Chinese Weiqi Association, and the decision-maker and actual head of the Chinese Weiqi.

Chen Lao's brilliant achievements prove that he is a successful person in his career, why is Zheng Minzhi not a leader in the field of table tennis?
Zheng Minzhi likes to play the ball when playing, the cutting technique is very high, especially good at defense, in 1965 she cooperated with Lin Huiqing, with a soft Kegang, 3:0 victory over the Japanese team, so that the Chinese women's team won the Cup for the first time.
In 1970, at the European Championships, she won the gold medal in women's singles, and she also became the first person in Chinese women's table tennis to help China win the women's doubles of the women's team.
People who have made achievements in both careers are in love.
In the fall of 1971, Zheng Minzhi underwent a minor operation in the hospital, and during the hospitalization, Chen Zude often visited her, and this experience deepened the relationship between the two. In 1973, Chen Zude and Zheng Minzhi entered the marriage hall. After getting married, Zheng Minzhi retired, and in 1974 she became the coach of the national women's table tennis team.
Chen Zude and his wife and Jin Yong
Chen Zude's usual hobbies are drinking and reading, KTV, and gatherings between friends he is not enthusiastic about attending. He has a special hobby, that is, he likes to watch boxing matches very much.
Chen Zude just met Zheng Minzhi when she felt that she was a bit willful, in fact, Zheng Minzhi's personality is also very strong, for example, in 1987 in The World Table Tennis Championships held in Gothenburg, Sweden, the Chinese team played away, staying in a local hotel, to know that foreign countries are not used to drinking boiling water, at that time the Chinese team only brought an electric kettle, the whole team took turns to use, when the main team member Geng Lijuan went to Dai Lili's room to borrow a kettle to boil water, Geng Lijuan's coach was Hu Yulan, Dai Lili's coach was Zheng Minzhi, At that time, Zheng Minzhi clearly proposed in the room, let Geng Lijuan return the pot within 10 minutes, Geng Lijuan did not seem to care, we have a little common sense of people know that it is impossible to boil the full pot of water within 10 minutes, 10 minutes later, the kettle was not sent back, so Coach Zheng rushed to the room and slapped Geng Lijuan. Geng Lijuan was innocently beaten, cried wrongfully all night, the matter was disturbed to the head of the delegation, and finally it was not over, Coach Zheng was criticized without pain, which showed that the head of the delegation and the kung fu of the thin mud were really not home, the most direct consequence of this matter was that Geng Lijuan's state was affected, in the final she lost to the former defeated general Cao Yanhua, achieving Cao Yanhua's dream of world championship.
Chen Zufen
There is another thing that can also explain the character characteristics of Zheng Minzhi, in 1980. Held in Chengdu a new sports competition, Wu Songsheng won the right to challenge, Nie Ping successfully defended the title 3:0, in that cup competition, one night, Chen Zude suddenly had blood in the stool, immediately sent to the hospital for examination, and finally found out stomach cancer can not participate in the game, at that time many chess players did not know what disease he had, the doctor kept secret, he himself was more secretive, many chess players only knew that his illness could not be discharged, and then his wife Zheng Minzhi and his friend Luo Jianwen came from Beijing to accompany him to the hospital, during the game Sichuan friends asked Nie Weiping, Wu Songsheng and Hua Yi just had a meal, which was a very normal thing, but Zheng Minzhi did not know whose rumors he had heard that Nie Weiping, Wu Songsheng, and many people in the Go team had drunk wine to celebrate for this matter, and Mrs. Chen Zheng Minzhi sued the central leader Jin Ming, which was simply nonsense, completely hearsay, and made something out of nothing, Jin Ming was a tried and tested veteran of the New Fourth Army, an old revolutionary cadre, and when he encountered such a thing, he had to endure his temperament and mud, otherwise what could he do? This shows that Zheng Minzhi also has a strong side.
Chen Zude's family
Of course, she also has a thoughtful side.
In 1980, Chen Zude suffered from jaundice hepatitis, which was extremely contagious, and Zheng Minzhi wore thick protective clothing to take care of it every day. In ruijin, the hospital, she took care of Chen Zude for five months.
This is exactly the same as nine years ago when she fell ill and was taken care of. After Zheng Mindi's careful care, Chen Zude finally slowly recovered, and the feelings between the two people deepened even more. It was also during this illness that Chen Zude began to write an autobiographical literary work "Beyond the Self", he was determined to learn from the Japanese thinker Jiang Zhaomin, When Zhongjiang checked for throat cancer, the doctor told him that he could only live for one and a half years, and Zhongjiang spent the rest of his life writing a "Year and a Half".
He didn't even know how long he would live, so he didn't know if the book would be finished. He imposed a rule on himself: write 500 words a day, the thunder can not move, if the deterioration of the body can not be completed, must be completed the next day, it is by this perseverance, he spent more than two years to complete this book.
But Chen Zude's body was not as good as before, and after removing two-thirds of his stomach, he seemed to have changed into a person, and he was abnormally thin.
The famous Hong Kong writer Jin Yong heard that Chen Zude was ill, so he invited him to his own home in Hong Kong to recuperate, the winter in Hong Kong was relatively warm, after the condition improved, in 1981 Chen Zude went happily, Zheng Minzhi also accompanied him to Hong Kong, Chen Zude's "Beyond Self" title page has a photo of that time. Jin Yong also toured the Xiangjiang River with great interest with them.
Jin Yong is a martial arts novelist, but also a go lover, he and Chen Zude, two southerners, have common hobbies and many common topics, Chen Zude lived in Jin Yong's home for half a year.
Chen Zude did not know much about martial arts novels before, nor had he read Jin Yong's books, and in the past six months, Chen Zude had read through Jin Yong's works. Chen Zude felt that in Jin Yong's book, what fascinated him the most was that Jin Yong skillfully used his profound historical and cultural knowledge, and the description was very realistic, and the immersive feeling was the most impressive.
Jin Yong is obsessed with Go, and naturally will not miss the opportunity to ask for advice on the chessboard. Jin Yong would usually respectfully place four subs on the chessboard and then start playing against each other. Chen Zude said that what made him most impressed was that Jin Yong, who was older than himself, sincerely wanted to learn from his teacher, and even had to perform a kneeling salute, and jin Yong's attitude when he asked him for Go was so pious that people were touched.
Chen Zude and Xia Caijuan and two sons
When Chen Zude insisted on writing, worked hard, and initially defeated the disease, his marriage to Zheng Minzhi came to an end in 1989.
The main reason was that Zheng Minzhi was the deputy director of the National Department of Physical Training at that time, and due to various reasons, the work was not going well, and Shanghai wanted her to go back, so it was eager to get rid of the unbearable environment of the National Sports Commission. Zheng Minzhi decided to resign and return to Shanghai. At that time, Chen Zude, who needed a stable family environment at the beginning of his serious illness, disagreed with her decision, and his opinion was that he hoped that Zheng Minzhi would make certain sacrifices in his career for the sake of his family, but this was a serious disagreement with Zheng Minzhi's expectations and plans.
So the two divorced in 1989, and Zheng Minzhi returned to Shanghai alone. The two had a son who later went to England to do business. Chen Zude's career is in Beijing, and he stayed in Beijing to live alone for four years.
Marriage changes can make people feel disillusioned, but Chen Zude is not decadent and depressed, perhaps nine years ago, after he was detected for cancer cells in his body, he was reborn. Chen Zude's inner world is very rich, but he is not the kind of person who likes to communicate and release, in addition to writing, he likes to sit down and read quietly.
The person he ultimately admired was Napoleon. He was a man of great heart.
Chen Zude's sister Chen Zufen once again began to introduce objects to her brother, this time introducing her family's nanny, whose name was Xia Caijuan.
Although Xia Caijuan is not highly educated, she takes good care of Chen Zude, Chen Zude and she also have a lot of common language, and she also gave birth to a pair of twin sons for Chen Zude. By the way, none of Chen Zude's three sons inherited his hobbies.
In 2011, Chen Zude suffered from pancreatic cancer, and he had been very concerned about the Guangxi Hualan team, which included Liao Xingwen, a future star he was very optimistic about, zhang Li and others, and of course, foreign aid Li Shishi, who took the opportunity to visit Chen Zude on August 19. Chen Zude was very happy and gave Lee Sedol a book written by himself, and wrote "The Great Power Hand Li Sedol Save". This is the last time Chen Zude appears in our field of vision.
On August 19, 2011, Lee Sedol met with Chen Zude
In 2012, Chen Zude died of pancreatic cancer in Beijing at the age of 68, his will is not to carry out a farewell ceremony, the Chinese Weiqi Association fully respected his will, but in order to commemorate Chen Lao, he organized a brief memorial service mainly for his family.
Zheng Minzhi and his son came to mourn.
Standing at the forefront of the memorial service at that time was Xia Caijuan, the widow of Chen Zude, and standing next to her were Chen Zude's three sons.
Xia Caijuan placed a pair of Go and some chess scores next to Chen Zude's pillow, and according to Chen Zude's last wishes, his ashes were scattered into the Huangpu River in Shanghai, and there was a calligraphy work with him, this work was selected for him by Xia Caijuan, and there were only four big characters "Happy in Chess".
