Most Chinese people mention the sport of bridge, whether the essence of it is clear or not, subconsciously will be related to Deng Xiaoping, just as Deng Xiaoping is inseparable from the reform and opening up, after all, in addition to the title of "chief designer of reform and opening up", Deng Xiaoping is also the founder of the Chinese bridge movement.
Therefore, throughout Deng Xiaoping's life, dedication can never be bypassed from reform and opening up, and looking back on his life, there must always be bridge. Take a peek at the other side of Deng Xiaoping: when playing bridge, you like to win in danger, and you never lose your temper regardless of whether you win or lose.
<h1>First, bridge to Deng Xiaoping</h1>
Bridge is a four-person card sport that combines two or two, which is very logical because of its profound connotation, and can only be won through the tacit cooperation of technology, ability and partner team. And the reason why Deng Xiaoping loved bridge is this.
"The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility." Deng Xiaoping, who shouldered the great rejuvenation of China, was exhausted in the face of all aspects of the country's affairs, and the day-to-day work made him mentally depleted. At that time, at an important period of China's development, there was no room for slackening, so no matter what Deng Xiaoping did, he would always "lose his mind" for the sake of major national affairs.
Watching movies, reading books... Whenever there is a slight feeling, we must contact the current situation in China and think deeply about relevant issues. As a result, Deng Xiaoping's spirit rarely had a chance to rest.
On the other hand, the sport of bridge is competitive, and it is necessary to devote itself to it at the same time, but a slight distraction will lead to a defeat, and when focusing on bridge sports, Deng Xiaoping will not think of national events, so it seems that Deng Xiaoping's thinking in this process is still running, but compared to the heaviness of national events, it can be regarded as a rare relaxation.
Deng Xiaoping's perception of bridge as a rare rest was unknown, and it was precisely because his wife Zhuo Lin discovered his mental changes before and after playing cards through daily observation that he understood the important role of bridge sports in Deng Xiaoping's life.
Therefore, she revealed the mystery to several of Deng Xiaoping's card friends, and many of them were more willing to accompany Deng Xiaoping to play cards. After all, Deng Xiaoping was busy with major national affairs and was physically and mentally exhausted, and being able to help him alleviate fatigue was also a side of dedication to the country.
<h1>Second, when the game is in progress - "national hand" Deng Xiaoping</h1>
It is precisely because of the importance of bridge for Deng Xiaoping's body and mind that many players are also happy to do so. So when you are in the middle of the game, what is the other side of Deng Xiaoping? There are already answers in the memories of Deng Xiaoping's card friends.
Relatively speaking, Deng Xiaoping's card friends are relatively fixed, such as the "Second King of the Great King" Wang Hanbin, Wang Daming, Cai Gongqi and others, and through their memories, we can glimpse Deng Xiaoping's spirit in the poker game.
In Wang Daming's impression, the specific time of Deng Xiaoping's association with bridge is already inaccessible, and it should be after liberation. But long before liberation, Deng Xiaoping was happy to play cards. Therefore, when the time came to the period of reform and opening up, Deng Xiaoping, who had been in the battlefield for a long time, already had a high level that a very high level could be reached.
Since 1984, the "Operations and Health" old gay bridge tournament has been held one after another, and Deng Xiaoping has participated in 9 of them, of which 8 have won the first place. At the end of 1988, he won the championship again in the 6th competition, unlocked the "triple crown" achievement, and won the triple crown trophy awarded to him by the organizing committee.
It is not difficult to glimpse the height of Deng Xiaoping's bridge level, and it is precisely because of this that Deng Xiaoping does not like to play cards with people with low levels, after all, the competitiveness of bridge determines that both sides are at the same height to be able to gain fun, if the unilateral overwhelming advantage is boring.
So is deng xiaoping's high level behind his identity, which has led to the release of water by card friends? The answer is clearly no. First of all, Deng Xiaoping's high level is verified, and it can be called "national hand". Secondly, he has repeatedly stressed that there should be no action to release water.
In addition, privately, Deng Xiaoping is in everyone's impression as an amiable "old man" who does not do anything, and if there is a dispute in the process of playing cards, he will also discuss with card friends. Because of this, the high level of Deng Xiaoping Bridge is worthy of recognition.
The poker game around Deng Xiaoping is essentially no different from the poker game of ordinary people, and Deng Xiaoping also put down the pressure in the process and became an "ordinary person" who harvested ordinary joy.
<h1>Third, when the game is in progress - Deng Xiaoping's rules</h1>
On the whole, Deng Xiaoping's card game is no different from ordinary people, so deng xiaoping also has both rules and regulations required by ordinary people in the card game. Just like not being late after making an appointment with a card friend, playing cards is playing cards without mentioning any work matters, and so on. At the same time, the reluctance to be disturbed was also a rule of Deng Xiaoping.
In the memories of Deng Xiaoping's card friend Nie Weiping, there was such a scene, the two accompanied Deng Xiaoping to play bridge, but in the process of playing cards, there was a dispute over the issue of calling cards, and the two once quarreled more and more fiercely, and the voice became louder and louder, so that they forgot that Deng Xiaoping was still sitting next to them.
In the meantime, as in the usual situation, two of the four people in the game chattered, so that the whole activity could not be carried out, which naturally made others unhappy. Deng Xiaoping was also an "ordinary person" in the poker game, so he was angry and said solemnly, "What a noise!" Play cards! ”
Nie Weiping
Not allowing others to disturb it was a rule in Deng Xiaoping's card game, and of course, Deng Xiaoping would only speak out when there was serious interference in the downward movement of the card game. Although Deng Xiaoping had Deng Xiaoping's rules, there were always people who could ignore his rules, after all, the people who had to "speak with strength" and could ignore Deng Xiaoping's rules were his grandchildren and granddaughters.
Deng Xiaoping's amiable personality directly created his overall family atmosphere to be very warm and harmonious, and the other members of the family did not have the slightest pressure to get along with him.
And when he played cards, although he knew that he did not want to be disturbed, his grandchildren would always sneak into his arms and play cards, while at this time Deng Xiaoping was smiling and teasing his children while playing cards, which seemed to others to be a rare pleasure.
<h1>Fourth, when the hand is in progress - the style of the card</h1>
Around the above-mentioned rules of Deng Xiaoping's card game and Deng Xiaoping's strength, we can glimpse the scene of his "bridge life", as the saying goes, "chess products see character" The same way is to play cards can also glimpse a lot of information about a person. So if we return to Deng Xiaoping himself, what about his own brand style?
Playing cards always has wins and losses, and while striving to win, Deng Xiaoping is also happy to accept defeat, including when the wrong card is pointed out, he will accept it with an open mind, and will not lose his temper because of losing the card. After all, winning or losing is a common thing for soldiers, and if he always wins and is not defeated, perhaps Deng Xiaoping will not be happy with bridge.
Combined with Deng Xiaoping's dislike of playing cards with low-level people, it can be glimpsed that Deng Xiaoping did not care about winning or losing. Whether playing cards or chess, or all aspects of life, the results achieved through their own strength are gratifying, and any "fake acquisition" has no meaning, and Deng Xiaoping naturally knows the truth.
In addition to "winning or losing", "seeking victory in danger" is also a major feature of Deng Xiaoping's playing bridge. "Defend tightly, attack fiercely, and play steadily" is the unanimous evaluation of Deng Xiaoping by the card friends, in short, Deng Xiaoping's strategizing can be glimpsed in a small card game.
At the same time, "adventure" is an essential part of most card activities, and it adds a bit of excitement and tension to it. A Sichuan accent of "Plus Fan! "It is the most common use of Deng Xiaoping in the game of cards, and in layman's terms, it is doubled."
Whenever he peeked into the opponent's weak heart or his own card was poor and wanted to "cover up the show", Deng Xiaoping would always continue to increase his efforts in order to win in the risk. Thus, between the combination of virtual and real, Deng Xiaoping's strength is doomed to be unpredictable.
In addition, because of his superb strength and good at winning in danger, there is no difference between good and bad cards in Deng Xiaoping's eyes, and he can take each deck of cards seriously until the end, and he is not happy because of the difference between good and bad hands. If we can see the "ordinary" scene of Deng Xiaoping from the rules, then the card style can glimpse Deng Xiaoping's planning and stability under the handling of anything.
Personnel and state affairs, essentially like a card game, we can not control our own hands, but we can decide how to play the hands out, seemingly desperate hands but also have a glimmer of life, the end game is not determined to know life and death? On the contrary, if the card is broken, how can you give up on yourself and win? In terms of major national events, behind any one thing is full of difficulties, how can we give up lightly?
Therefore, Deng Xiaoping's brand style is also full of life principles.
<h1>5. Meet members with cards</h1>
It is worth mentioning that around bridge, Deng Xiaoping also has a story of "meeting friends with cards". The world knows That China's "table tennis diplomacy" and "Go diplomacy" and Deng Xiaoping actually has a story of "bridge diplomacy".
In 1981, Yang Xiaoyan, the world's "bridge queen" and a Chinese-American, arrived in Shanghai to participate in the International Bridge Friendship Invitational Tournament, and when she arrived in Beijing on the way, she specifically proposed to play cards with Deng Xiaoping.
However, considering that Deng Xiaoping was busy with state affairs and did not report any hope, Deng Xiaoping gladly agreed to this, and in the game of cards, Deng Xiaoping did not refuse Yang Xiaoyan's proposal to pair with him, and said that "it can improve my level even more."
When Yang Xiaoyan asked what the card method was used, Deng Xiaoping's reply was, "Of course, it is the precise card method." "You must know that the precise branding method was invented by Yang Xiaoyan's husband and once swept the world. And Deng Xiaoping's word "of course" naturally made her feel more valued.
Since then, the incident surrounding the two people playing cards has also been widely circulated internationally, and many international people who like bridge will inevitably have a sense of homogeneity. In addition, before US President Ronald Reagan visited China, he specially invited Yang Xiaoyan to the White House, hoping to understand Deng Xiaoping in advance in combination with her opinions. As a result, the beautiful image left by Deng Xiaoping for Yang Xiaoyan also played a certain role.
Looking at the relationship between Deng Xiaoping and Bridge, this sport is an indelible stroke that accompanies Deng Xiaoping throughout his life, and it also carries many important information such as Deng Xiaoping's deeds and ideas. Therefore, looking back on Deng Xiaoping's life, it is difficult to bypass bridge.
