Dear child~ Chapter 25: Because of this, the stars of the Go dream folded their wings.

There are many things in life, they are all coincidences, there are many experiences, it seems to have been predestined, whether it is good or bad, everything is the best arrangement.

When Xingxing was almost 12 years old, it happened to be the spring of Xiaoshengchu, one afternoon on the weekend, I was playing puzzles with my classmate Hao Hao, a junior high school classmate of Hao Hao's mother, called to invite a family to play, and had dinner together, Hao Hao's mother insisted that I go with Xingxing, saying that there are not many people in three families with a total of six people, just one table. The star is a social cow, of course, he likes to go with him.

Speaking of Sheniu, there is another interesting thing worth recording: I often can't find my children after school, and when I get home, Xingxing says that I have eaten at my aunt's house on the second floor.

I told him not to go to people's houses for dinner in the future, because it would cause a lot of trouble to others. He said vigorously: "It's not that I'm going, it's my aunt who likes me, stopped me after school, and insisted that I go, saying that I had already made fried fish and meat, steamed rice, and was waiting for me! ”

I forgot to introduce, there are two aunts living on the opposite door on the second floor, they don't care much about each other, but they both like stars. A child is in college, and it is estimated that he also thinks about his own children, and specializes in cooking for the stars. The other child, who was a few years older than Xingxing, also loved meat, made delicious food, and called Xingxing to eat it together.

The problem is that I am busy at work, and my cooking skills are not comparable to those of the two aunts, so I can't invite people to eat at home, so such a one-way exchange is not easy to continue, and it is also a burden to owe too much favor.

I talked to Xingxing about it seriously until he agreed not to go again, and then went to thank the two aunts separately.

Back to the point, on the left hand side of Keke's mother's neighborhood, there is a Go training school called Little Sun Go, which was in class at the time, and there were many children in it. So, the four of us walked in together, forgive me for my loneliness, every day at work, home, and school, it was the first time I knew that there was a Go training class.

After entering, Xingxing said that he would not leave anything, saying that he would learn Go together, but he didn't say it, he paid the money on the spot to sign up, and Hao Hao's mother also signed up for Hao Hao, saying that it was good to learn together and have a companion.

The next day, I bought two boxes of ordinary Go pieces and chessboards, and from then on I started Xingxing's Go dream.

Since he started to learn Go, Xingxing's mind is full of Go, in addition to going to the training class to learn, at home as soon as he is free, he dragged me to accompany him to play Go, two months later, the teacher gave him an amateur level 2, successfully passed, and got a certificate.

During the exam, I encountered two interesting things. One is that Xingxing said that there was a man in his forties and fifties in the examination room, and the opponent was a four or five-year-old child. I just learned that there are adult exams, I don't know why, maybe in order to finally get the amateur fifth dan, you can open a training class.

The second thing is that I understand that there are other reasons for adults to participate in the exam, and I understand how hard Chinese parents work. Just as I was about to leave with the stars, I saw a five or six-year-old child, standing alone by the gate, looking bored. Out of liking all the children, I got out of the car and asked him, "Hello little handsome man, aren't your parents with you??" He glanced at me with a dumb eye, yes, you read that right! This little guy just looked at me with a blind eye and said, "No! My annoying stupid dad is still in the examination room! I'm waiting for him!" "Ahh I guess I met a little genius of Go, and I can understand the original intention of the parents who accompanied the exam, and it was embarrassing enough to be looked down upon by the child like this.

He said: "The reason why I accompany my child to learn Go as a classmate is to let my child defeat me, and only by defeating his parents can he defeat the world! At that time, I forgot to ask the name, I don't know that among the current national players, there are a few Qingdao ones, maybe I came across a certain moment in the childhood of this national player.

After Xing Xing was in his first year of junior high school, he bought a computer, downloaded Tom Go online, and played chess online when he had time. In order to play chess with him, I bought several books on the introductory game of Go to learn by myself, and also practiced on the Internet to improve, but no matter how hard I tried, Xing Xing soon had no practical opponents, because my progress was too slow!

Xingxing also likes to watch Go games broadcast on TV, not only watch carefully, listen carefully to the commentators, but also find some fault with people from time to time, as if he plays better than national players, although I don't know very well, but just like his little fan sister, quickly agree with his point of view.

In the process of learning Go from Little Sun, I met some parents of children who learned Go, including a special parent, who even sold his house for his children to learn Go.

The details are that her son's name is Zang Qilin (this is a lot of paintings, during the exam, everyone handed in the papers, it is estimated that he only finished writing his name!), he has been learning Go since he was three years old, and the exam is also very smooth, and he is currently fifteen years old, and he is an amateur four-dan.

For a long time, the mother set the goal for the child to be the Hangzhou Branch of the Chinese Chess Academy (it is said that the admission requirements are quite high, and there is an age limit, it seems that you have to be an amateur more than four dans, under the age of fourteen, no matter how old, the requirements for the rank will be higher.) ）。

Although Zang Qilin has been working very hard, and even gave up the study of normal school, but has been hovering at the door of the Hangzhou branch, it is always a little bit away from admission, and the mother often takes her children to Beijing and Hangzhou in order to realize her dreams, and often takes her children to Beijing, Hangzhou, to find national Go players to guide and play, how much is a game or pay by the hour, she didn't say, but I saw her haggard sad face, gray hair, and I probably understood.

Several parents have said that it is necessary to learn Go as early as possible, and the maximum is 17 years old, and ordinary learners can give up directly.

The stars learned too late, but it doesn't matter, isn't it a hobby?

Daddy Star doesn't think so, and for the first time, this time he won!

He said, "Whatever you will do to support yourself in the future unless you become a professional chess player, you should tell Xingxing to make him reconsider, it is better to give up learning Go, and just play it if he likes." ”

After learning more about the current situation and future of Go learning, Xingxing finally made the decision to give up the game of Go, but he stopped playing it in his spare time, as if Go had never appeared in his life.

I know that the dream of being a national player broke his wings, which made him a little injured, and for the first time in his life, he was not afraid to be touched, and he was given time, and the wound would slowly heal, and he would become stronger.

However, this incident has left a mark on my life, when I have free time, I have been playing Go on Tom, starting at level 18 and playing to the amateur stage, and the reason I like Go is that all the pieces are equal (unlike Chinese chess or chess, where the chess pieces are strictly ranked. As for how it works, it depends on where each piece lands.

Now I still play occasionally, but I can't do it anymore, and my brain can't keep up, so I also understand why Go veteran Nie Weiping took oxygen and played Go during the game, which is really brain-burning!
