1. The indissoluble bond between Zhuchen and Qatari Prince Mohammed
It was an ordinary game day, and Zhu Chen overpowered the crowd with his excellent chess skills and won many good results. She is full of ambition and quite confident in her performance. However, just then, a prince from the distant country of Qatar, Mohammed, unexpectedly defeated her.
Although Zhu Chen was haunted by this defeat, he was also impressed by the opponent's excellent chess skills. After the game, Muhammad took the initiative to leave his contact information, and Zhu Chen regarded it as an ordinary exchange with each other, but he did not expect that this would become an indelible fate on the road of their vast life.
From that encounter, Zhu Chen and Muhammad met unexpectedly on the world stage. At first, they were just rivals, but gradually, Muhammad was attracted to his skill and love for chess, and he was impressed by his tenacity to compete.
The wisdom and courage they showed in the game became an eternal spiritual force in each other's minds. Whenever the game ended, Zhu Chen was always humble and studious, and took the initiative to ask Mohammed for advice on chess skills.
And Muhammad is happy to share his experience with the "most beautiful chess queen". In this way, after getting along year by year, Zhuchen's sincere admiration and appreciation for Muhammad gradually turned into a different kind of affection.
Zhu Chen's chess skills continued to improve, and in the 2002 Dubai tournament, she became the first women's world champion in history to beat the current men's world champion.
This achievement undoubtedly attracted the attention of Zhuchen, and Muhammad was proud of it.
It was at this exciting moment that Muhammad affectionately confessed his heart to Zhuchen. Zhu Chen was completely moved by this unexpected scene, and nodded in tears and agreed to Muhammad's marriage proposal.
The two embark on a new journey in life.
2. Family opposition and difficult choices
Zhu Chen, a talented girl, has shown a talent for studying chess since she was a child under the influence of her father. Under the systematic training of Huang Xiwen, a famous coach in China, Zhu Chen's chess skills have become more and more sophisticated, and he soon won many awards in juvenile, youth and adult competitions, and was crowned with the reputation of "invincible player in the world".
At the age of 12, Zhu Chen won the first place for the national team, representing the country and winning countless glory for China in the chess world. Her delicate and sweet appearance also made her known as "the most beautiful chess queen".
At the same time, Zhu Chen was also admitted to Tsinghua University and became an outstanding student of this world's top university.
In that college time full of ideals and enthusiasm, Zhu Chen devoted herself to studying and competing, and she was once so obsessed that she couldn't even take care of eating and sleeping, just to keep up with the pace of her classmates.
With this dedication to the art of chess, Zhu Chen finally made a splash in the 2002 Dubai tournament, defeating the then world champion Bonomamuv and setting an unprecedented record.
Just when Zhuchen's chess career was in full swing, the dawn of love quietly came. However, this marriage with Muhammad was met with strong opposition from both families from the outset.
Although Mohammed was born into the Qatari royal family, he could not marry at will, and had to follow a strict principle of door-to-door. And Zhu Chen's parents are also resolutely opposed to their daughter marrying in a foreign country, and they are even more reluctant for her to marry the prince of a polygamous country.
In the face of his family's accusations, Muhammad resolutely made a determination to change the tradition, and he solemnly promised his family that he would marry only one person in this life, and would never take a concubine.
After some weighing, Zhu Chen's parents finally chose to compromise. With the blessing of relatives and friends, the two finally got married and entered the palace of marriage.
3. For the sake of the children, Zhu Chen resolutely renounced his Chinese nationality
After entering the palace of marriage, the lives of Zhuchen and Muhammad were not easier than before. As national players and chess players, they have been traveling around the world for a long time, and the life of living separately in the two places has made Zhu Chen very tormented.
In order to be able to devote himself to the competition, Zhu Chen had to entrust his beloved daughter to his parents with tears in his eyes.
In order to pursue excellent results, Mohammed once decided to join the Jiangsu Provincial Chess Team and stay in China to work together with Zhuchen. However, as the eldest son of the Qatari royal family, he is not allowed to stay away from his parents for a long time.
The relentless questioning of his family made it difficult for Muhammad to make a decision between the dilemma of his home and his country. In the end, he had to leave China again, and since then the Zhuchen family has been separated for many years.
Zhu Chen once laughed at himself that the cost of the call between the two to get together was enough to buy a luxury residence in Beijing. This is no longer just a matter of family separation, but also a hidden danger that children will grow up in a crippled family environment.
As a mother, Zhuchen sincerely worries that this state of life will bring heavy mental pressure to her children. A complete family, the company of parents is the most important condition for the healthy growth of children.
But whether to let Mohammed become a Chinese citizen or to leave the country himself seems to be a dilemma.
After nearly two years of repeated consideration, Zhu Chen finally made a difficult decision - to renounce her Chinese nationality, become Qatari nationality, and reunite with her husband and children.
Although she had foreseen that this decision would cause an uproar, she was willing to pay any price for the sake of her children.
Zhu Chen had been prepared for this, and she completed the handover of most of the work ahead of schedule. With the support and encouragement of his father, Zhuchen got his wish and successfully obtained Qatari citizenship.
This decision undoubtedly marks a major turning point in Zhuchen's life, and she will start a new life in Qatar with her husband and children.
Fourth, renunciation to join Qatar has caused controversy
In the Chinese chess world, Zhu Chen can be described as a rising star. She is the first women's champion to beat the current world champion and the first player to bring a world title to China in this field.
Therefore, when the news of Zhu Chen's announcement to join the Qatar team came out, it caused huge controversy and criticism in public opinion.
Some netizens once questioned why Zhu Chen gave up the honor of winning glory for the country and chose to play for a foreign country? Some people also pointed out that after she moved to Qatar, her performance plummeted, which would tarnish her past brilliant record in the chess world.
For a time, many voices of doubt and accusation flooded the Internet, personally attacking Zhu Chen.
Zhu Chen once explained in an interview that the reason why she made this decision was entirely for the child to grow up healthily in a complete family environment. However, this explanation may seem far-fetched to the outside world.
After all, Zhu Chen has not only won numerous honors for the country, but also filled the gap in the field of chess in China. Her outstanding performance in the 2002 Dubai tournament pushed Chinese chess to the pinnacle of the world stage.
Therefore, there is a view that Zhu Chen's achievements and contributions in the chess world are still unparalleled to this day.
It can be said that Zhu Chen is a well-deserved national player, and her departure has undoubtedly brought a heavy blow to the Chinese chess world. Some skeptical voices even pointed out that Zhu Chen's decision is destined to be strongly criticized and criticized by the broad masses of Chinese people.
However, Zhu Chen did not retreat because of the pressure of public opinion, on the contrary, she strengthened her determination. She understands that as a mother and wife, in addition to being an outstanding chess player, she also has more family responsibilities on her shoulders.
Since her husband renounced polygamy for her sake, she should also make the corresponding sacrifices and commitments.
