It was late at night, in a bar in Taizhou, Jiangsu Province, Xiaolin Jue and Liu Shi smoked together and said something.
Yanagi noticed that Kobayashi felt that his speech was slurred and his tongue was so stiff that he couldn't really hear it, so he leaned closer to hear what he was saying.
Between the electric light and flint, Kobayashi Jue actually struck, and Yanagi Shifu's face was hit hard, with great force, so that the wine glass in Kobayashi Jue's hand shattered.
Kobayashi's hand was injured and bloodied.
Of course, even worse was Liu Shi's smoked face, blood flowing down his cheeks, because of the severe pain, Liu Shi's smoked face was seriously distorted, the angle of the onlooker, as if he had made a successful grimace.
Smoked when willow
Liu Shifu instinctively shouted: "It hurts", Liu Shifu barely supported his body, and then his consciousness began to blur.
Before completely losing consciousness, Yanagi clearly heard Kobayashi say, "I will do such a thing." ”
This was a scene in December 2000 in a bar in Taizhou, Jiangsu Province, and for some time afterward, "Kobayashi Jue Drunk and Smoked Willow" became the headline of some newspapers and magazines.
Chinese newspaper and magazine reporters concocted some articles under unknown circumstances, and these texts were later reprinted by the original texts of several major newspapers such as the Japanese "Yomiuri Shimbun" and "Asahi Shimbun", with the headline:"Japanese chess players make trouble after drinking, Kobayashi feels angry and hits Willow shifu."
Go was originally a niche project, and for the first time it was on the "headline hot search" of the year, it was actually negative news.
Due to the chinese and Japanese media reports, as well as the testimony of eyewitness Keigo Yamashita on January 16, 2001, and Yanagi's 2001 reminiscences, we can basically restore the whole story.
However, we are not going to bring up the old things today, not with the intention of bringing old wines to new bottles, but with a new perspective.
For example, what is Kobayashi's motivation for hitting people?
Why did Liu Shifu mix well, obviously a victim, but few people sympathized?
A year later, Yanagi writes a reminiscence article to restore the details of the events at that time, but he is puzzled by Kobayashi's words. Three years later, Kong Lingwen got married, married to Kobayashi Jue's second daughter, and Liu Shifu had only touched some tastes.
Let's turn the clock back to the end of 2000 and go back to the scene of the incident and see what happened.
Maybe some of the details conflicted with what readers had seen before, and that was fine, because I just chose the version that I thought was the most reasonable.
The third Chunlan Cup was held as scheduled in Taizhou, Jiangsu Province, China, and after the first round of the competition, Kobayashi Jue and Yanagi Shifu both won, so the Japanese Go delegation of eight people went to the bar to drink and celebrate.
Three hours later, Wang Licheng and others had self-discipline and left the scene early to avoid the farce.
Wang Licheng was the first person in Japanese Go at that time, and he was a chess saint, and he and Liu Shifu also had an entanglement two years later, which is not mentioned for the time being.
There were five people left behind:
Kobayashi 9th dan, Yanagi 7th dan (Tengen), Hikosaka Naoto 9th dan (10th dan), Andofu sensei (first place Europe kite) Wayamashita Keigo (Go).
Wang Licheng
The parties involved in the fight are the main characters and are indispensable, and the others are witnesses to the scene.
Naoto Hikosaka
In the beginning, everything was normal, the atmosphere was good, and five people drank and talked about golf, which was also a fashionable sport in the Japanese Go world, just like Korean Go players like to play baseball, and Chinese Go training teams like to play football.
As he spoke, Liu Shi smoked a sigh, and then began his topic, Liu Shifu said: "Now I feel very distressed, I want to say it to everyone." ”
That's where the conversation begins.
The topic that Liu Shifu started was meant to vent his emotions, but he unexpectedly provoked a senseless disaster.
Japanese people like to speak with mood auxiliaries, Willow smoke crooked, said a big push, the gist of the words is that they have been slandered, their image in the minds of their teachers and disciples is seriously damaged, the source of this matter must blame so-and-so, their own wire report, iron nails, this tone I can't stand, I want to beat people, I want to teach so-and-so this boy.
Originally, this matter was not related to Naoto Yansaka, but the words rushed to that step, so he hastily said: "I understand your feelings, I have experienced what you are experiencing now, such a guy is unforgivable, I really should beat him before I can relieve my hatred." ”
Keigo Yamashita
Yanagi's spirit was lifted by the encouragement she received, but Naoto Yansaka said, "You won't really hit someone, if I were, I would choose to forgive this." "Naoto Yansaka's attitude is clearly that neither side is guilty.
Kobayashi heard the name of so-and-so and said in horror, "Is there really such a thing?" If this is true, you can't hurt anyone. Unfortunately, the lighting was too dim at that time, and Yanagi did not see the change in the expression on Kobayashi's face.
There is a reason for Liu Shifu's negligence, he is a self-righteous person, so it is difficult for him to change his mind when he makes up his mind.
Kobayashi also said a lot of things, but we draw the point, there are two sentences that are the most important, one is: "Don't make a fool of yourself." Forgive him. Liu Jun could not do this. ”
After the review, Kobayashi jue first persuaded the other party to dispel the idea of beating people, and Yanagi shifu responded: "You asked me not to come here." That's because you have a good heart. ”
Another of Kobayashi's words is: "I have experienced more things than you." I also have a lot of nemesis. So listen to me, that's right. ”
This is still to persuade the other party to take it better, Liu Shifu said perfunctorily Kobayashi Jue at that time: "You are popular, so I don't understand my mood." ”
Kobayashi Kyaw
As he spoke, Kobayashi suddenly scolded him in Korean. After the review, this is Kobayashi feel annoyed. Speaking Baga in Japanese, I am afraid that Yanagi Shifu is not impressed, so I changed to Yanagi Shifu's native language.
The meaning behind it is: I advise you like this, why can't you listen to it?
So time to go back to the crime scene mentioned in the article.
At this time, Kobayashi came up to talk to Yanagi again. It was obvious that he was drunk and his tongue was stiff. Yanagi couldn't hear what he was saying, so he leaned over. Saying that it was late and fast, just listening to the sound of "bang", Yanagi Shifu's face was hit hard, and Kobayashi Jue hit Yanagi's face hard with his hand holding the wine glass.
The wine glass shattered, the hands bled, and the face was hanging.
"I'll do something like that." Kobayashi still said this important sentence.
After the review, this sentence means to say:
Oil and salt are not soaked, right, I have endured you for a long time, don't you want to hit people? I'll teach you a lesson first.
Some people listen to the clouds and fog, who are you talking about so-and-so?
Now the mystery can be revealed, so-and-so is Kong Lingwen. Because of his special status, even a year later, when Liu Shiyan reappeared in the press, his name was hidden.
Kong Lingwen
Who is Kong Lingwen?
This has to mention the famous figure in the Chinese Go world: The chess saint Nie Weiping.
It is said that in 1991, nie Weiping and Kong Xiangming's marriage lasted for twelve years, and finally ended in divorce.
Nie Weiping was actually a little reluctant to be a man who openly declared himself to be a man who preferred sons to daughters. I like my son more than I like my daughter.
If divorced, nie yunqiao, the son of the two people, will be taken away by the woman and will change his surname. Later, when he really did so, Nie Yunxuan changed his name to Kong Lingwen.
The last straw that broke the marriage was the pregnancy of a woman named Wang Jing. When a woman uses pregnancy and even childbirth as a means of putting pressure on a man, the person concerned is certainly not so happy.
Nie Weiping proposed a divorce to Kong Xiangming against Lei, and did not expect kong Xiangming to accept it very calmly.
Nie Weiping Kong Xiangming's family and Hideyuki Fujisawa
Kong Xiangming is also a ruthless person, don't want anything, including the bonuses obtained by Nie Weiping's match, it is said that the military merit medal has half of you and half of mine, and the bonus distribution should also be the same,
Moreover, she was in urgent need of money to study in Japan next, but she just did not accept Nie Weiping's gifts or compensation, and Nie Weiping had to ask his friends in the Japanese chess industry, and his guilt was slightly balanced.
But Nie Weiping's feelings for the scum of the people could not run away. Kong Lingwen was only 10 years old at the time, and he was crying and making trouble, but what could he do?
The primitive hatred for Old Nie in Kong Lingwen's young soul would eventually be released after he became an adult. Of course, he doesn't understand it yet.
Kong Xiangming first went to Japan to study, and later brought Kong Lingwen to Japan, Kong Lingwen was trained by Yasuro Kikuchi, in August 1999, he was promoted to the second dan, and in 2007, he became a six-dan master, became a Japanese Chinese chess player, and later concentrated on developing his career in Japan.
Kong Lingwen and Kobayashi Jue
Kong Lingwen and Kong Xiangming lived in the home of Mr. Hideyuki Fujisawa when they first arrived in Japan, and in 1998, Kobayashi Jue participated in the Go visit group organized by Mr. Hideyuki Fujisawa, and Kong Lingwen happened to enter the beginning of his career in Japan in this year, so he also signed up for the "Hideyuki Visiting China Group", which gave Kobayashi Jue and Kong Lingwen the opportunity to meet for the first time.
Kobayashi Kyaw's character has a very good reputation in the Japanese chess world, and Kong Lingwen also has great respect for this predecessor. After the two returned to Japan after this visit to China, Kong Lingwen often followed Kobayashi to participate in various activities.
And Kobayashi Jue is also very close to Kong Lingwen, he said more than once in front of Kong Xiangming' face: "I like your children very much, and such a humble and studious young man is rare in Japan." ”
It is precisely because of Kobayashi Jue's favor that Kong Lingwen became a regular visitor to Kobayashi Jue's home.
Kobayashi Jue's wife is an actor, born beautiful, gave birth to two flower-like daughters, the second daughter is named Kobayashi Kiyoshi, the two people try to get along, in 2000 Miss Kobayashi and Kong Lingwen are in the budding period of love.
Kobayashi felt that he had the heart to promote this good marriage, at least he thought in his heart that Kong Lingwen might be able to become his own dragon-riding son-in-law.
Kong Xiangming felt that Kong Lingwen simply regarded Xiaolin Jue as his life model. It is often said that Mr. Jue taught him how to behave in the world.
Kong Xiangming couldn't help but say, "Why can't you listen to what I tell you, but you can listen to everything Kobayashi jue says?" ”
Kong Lingwen said very seriously: "The way you speak is not right, it is easy to make people resentful, and Mr. Kobayashi's words are easy to accept." ”
Kobayashi Kyaw family and Kong Lingwen
Kong Lingwen also left a very good impression on Kobayashi Jue, who secretly thought to himself: There are not many young people with good character and self-improvement like this.
However, the five good young people in his mind, the son of the Kong family, the future son-in-law, Liu Shifu actually wanted to move him, and no one cared about this?
I advise you, if you don't listen, then I will do it first.
Kobayashi Jue, with the mood of clearing mines for his future son-in-law, made a decisive move.
Liu Shifu only knew that Kong Lingwen was nie Weiping's son, and now he had entered the professional chess world in Dongying and was a chess player at his master's and disciple level.
However, kong Lingwen's relationship with The Xiaolin Jue family was completely ignorant.
From Liu Shifu's inability to understand the intricate interpersonal relationships behind the identity of chess players, to Liu Shifu's unpleasant personality, he also shouted out his immature plans in public.
From the above point of view, Liu Shi smoked this beating unjustly.
After the incident of Kobayashi waking up drunk and smoking willow, it led to several results:
First, this matter was added to the fire by the media, and it was fiercely hyped up, and some bad reporters even caught the wind and shadows. These reports were again fully accepted by the Japanese media. Don't think they can't do it, is the media doing it less often?
Newspapers and magazines are very straightforward in their thinking, and it is best to break through the circulation and make a lot of money.
Nie Weiping with his son, Ai's disciple
Second, on December 31, 2000, the Japanese Chess Academy decided to impose a one-year ban on Kobayashi.
The punishment was severe because it meant that Kobayashi could not participate in all world Go tournaments and all professional Go tournaments in Japan for a year, and even the right to speak and guide chess in public was also denied.
This is the same punishment that deprived Tyson of boxing, which is very cruel for a professional chess player.
Kobayashi's losses were in the tens of millions of yen.
Third, the relationship between Kong Lingwen and the Kobayashi family has further expanded.
In June 2003, Kong Lingwen and Kobayashi Kiyoshiya married. It is said that Kong Xiangming asked Kong Lingwen to call a month before the wedding date, and Kong Lingwen said that the phone could not be called. Later, it was Kong Xiangming who told Zhang Xuan, and the news reached Nie Weiping.
Nie Weiping did not attend kong Lingwen's wedding with Kobayashi Kiyoshi on the grounds that he knew the news was too late and the plane visa was too late.
However, the congratulatory gift was received, and it is said that Kong Lingwen did not allow it to be accepted. The topic seems to be a bit far-fetched.
Returning to the main theme, Yanagi shifu was injured in the face at the time and is said to have stitched more than a dozen stitches.
This incident has damaged the reputation of both sides, which can be described as a lose-lose situation.
Liu Shifu this person, personality seems to have been unpleasant, even if he was beaten, obviously the victim of this incident, but there are few sympathy for him, while the abuser Kobayashi Jue, but he has gained a large number of sympathy points.
Chen Zude
Yamashita Keigo's testimony was full of politeness to the senior chess players, a lot of words, I deleted the complicated and simplified, to the effect that: Mr. Liu, Mr. Kobayashi are my predecessors, the two gentlemen drank blind, the fight is a misunderstanding, it is not the heart, people in the martial forest, walking in the rivers and lakes, it is inevitable to bump and bump, everyone scattered.
I strangled one, and Liu Shifu heard that his mentality was going to collapse after he heard it. It was Kobayashi who beat me well, I was beaten instead of each other.
If Yamashita Keigo's bias towards Kobayashi kyaw is not obvious, then Sakai Makudan, vice governor of the Japan Chess Academy, has openly taken sides. Sakai made a public request to fall from kobayashi kyūdan from light hair.
Moreover, since the news of the fight between the two of them spread to the Japanese chess academy, some Japanese chess players called the Chinese chess academy, hoping that the Chinese side could "intercede" for Kobayashi Jue. It can be seen that Sakai is not fighting alone.
Chen Zude, the president of the Chinese Chess Academy, is well-connected, and this kind of superficial article will of course be done. So a few days later, an official letter was sent in the name of the Chinese Weiqi Association. The gist is that Kobayashi Jue was drunk and hurtful during the Chunlan Cup in China, not his intention, and we did not want to see such a result because of the negative impact of the excessive hype of the news media and his inability to play chess. ”
The reporter interviewed Chang Haojiuduan, a popular chinese student, and his first reaction was: Mr. Kobayashi Jue is a very good person, and he does not believe that he will do such a thing.
Chinese chess players soon learned the basic synopsis of the fight. Of course this is good news.
In fact, on December 28, 2000, Kobayashi Jue and Liu Shiyan were still going to appear in the second round of the Chunlan Cup, Xiaolin Jue was for Ma Xiaochun for China, and Liu Shifu was for Zhou Heyang in China.
Zhou Heyang played against Liu Shi Smoked
Wang Runan, vice president of the China Chess Academy, was very happy, and he said directly to Zhou Heyang: "This time it is time for you to win the chess." Sure enough, neither Kobayashi Kyaw, who looked frustrated, nor Yanagi Shifu, whose face was covered with gauze, went any further. Their minds are not on chess, and this matter needs to be properly handled in China.
The punishment order of the Japanese chess academy still came down, from the incident on December 16 to the issuance of the punishment order on December 31, the Japanese chess academy rarely carried out a fierce action.
Kobayashi immediately submitted an application for resignation to the Japan Chess Academy.
For the dignity of a professional chess player, it is necessary for him to do so.
The news quickly spread to China, and Chen Zude, the head of Chinese Go, appealed: Kobayashi Jue is an excellent chess player, and if he is punished for this matter and withdraws from the chess world, it will be a big loss for the world of Go.
On January 5, 2001, the Standing Council was convened under the auspices of Chairman Toshimitsu Matsu and decided to retain Kobayashi Kyūdan's proposal to withdraw from the chess world.
The Japanese side characterized the incident for Kobayashi as follows:
Kobayashi Kyūdan was injured when he drunkenly beat Willow.
At the press conference on the same day, Akio Imaka, vice chairman of the Japanese Chess Academy, stated that the reason for his retention was that "although this matter is a serious violation of the spirit of chess, Kobayashi Kyūdan is currently undergoing deep reflection on this matter, adhering to the spirit of curing the disease and saving people, we have decided to retain Kobayashi Kyōdan and give him a chance to reform himself." ”
Kong Lingwen Erduan also spoke out on the matter, he believes that the media speculation is too much, and the punishment of the chess academy is too severe.
He stressed that leaving professional chess players with no chess to play is really unacceptable and imaginable.
Kong Lingwen believes that private compensation or public apologies should be an acceptable result.
Over-hype in the media has led to damage to the image of Go.
He particularly emphasized that Kobayashi Jue did not smoke when he angrily hit willow, it was a mistaken injury after drinking, and Kobayashi Jue was not a person who abused violence, and the effect of alcohol was so.
It is reported that after the incident, the disciples who were also under the Kgitani Gate were very concerned about this matter, and Xiaolin Jue's brother Zhao Zhixun called the Japanese Chess Academy several times to inquire about the progress of the matter.
Zhao Zhixun
Kobayashi Kyaw, once the first person in Japanese Go, was severely punished by this, and many of his peers wanted to help him through the biggest crisis of his career. However, Kong Lingwen believes that unless the party Liu Shifu personally intercedes, there is little hope of changing the outcome.
Yanagi's attitude at this time is intriguing.
When many people were in a hurry, Liu Shifu quietly returned to South Korea.
From beginning to end, he just wanted to avoid those who wanted him to come out and intercede for Kobayashi.
He thought: My mentality is broken.
Why do you think I will intercede for him?
Why should I intercede for him?
Shouldn't a man pay for his reckless behavior?
To tell the truth, even if I was given Yunnan Baiyao, I could not heal the wounds I had suffered in my heart.
The wound in the heart is in the dark, but the wound on the face is in the light. According to Yanagi's own review:
Kobayashi's reckless actions resulted in a large scratch on his face, and he was taken to the hospital due to a lot of blood loss. Blood stains on tablecloths and carpets in the bar room are still present. These blood stains are shocking, how big is the area of shadow in the heart when asking for willow?
Sixteen stitches were stitched from the wound on his face. This is the first time in Yanagi's life that he has undergone surgery, and it is in the most prominent facial position of a person's body. Liu Shifu couldn't imagine how this would affect her future life. Yanagi felt very depressed.
Liu Shiyan's face was seriously damaged, and doctors did not dare to say that it could be completely restored, and after one or two years, plastic surgery was still needed, and then it would take another year or two to heal, but no one could guarantee that Liu Shiyan's face could be restored as before. In other words, Liu Shiyan is in danger of breaking the phase, and it can be said that his psychological pressure is quite large.
After Yanagi was injured, Yamashita Keigo and Wang Yi stayed with him. Liu Shifu did not want this matter to be known to everyone in China. He just wanted everything back to Japan.
On the other hand, kobayashi kyawed up the next day and felt deeply remorseful, and he expressed deep reflection on this, believing that his actions had blackened the Japanese chess academy.
At the same time, he also believes that the Japanese chess academy punished itself because of this matter, and there is a suspicion of overstepping the line.
Problems that could have been resolved through private apologies or compensation were compounded by a paper penalty order.
Kobayashi was indecisive, and the current embarrassing situation made him make a temporary decision to withdraw from the chess world.
In 2001, the opening drama of the Japanese Go community actually punished the good mr. Kobayashi Jue in the minds of everyone. This has a taste of absurdity anyway.
Cho Kao Hyun and Kobayashi Kyaw
Since the matter has passed for a long time, it turns out that many enthusiasts already know it.
Let me summarize it briefly: the punishment order was implemented from January 1, 2001, and on January 5, the Japanese Chess Academy began to retain Kobayashi Kyaw's resignation application, and a large number of people fell to Kobayashi Kyaw's side, Yanagi Shifu was angry, so he sent a detailed article from the beginning, of course, he could not be as vague as Yamashita Keigo, he told his resentment, and many incomprehensions.
Although Yanagi shifu began to adopt an attitude of never forgiving and waiting for the result. However, as this matter continued to ferment, it even alarmed the top level of the Korean Go community, the Korean Go industry tycoon Cho Kao-hyun and the Japanese chess player Cho Ji-hoon mediated from it, the two sides reached an understanding, the Japanese chess academy pushed the boat along the water, and once again convened the executive meeting of the council, the meeting decided to shorten the ban time, that is, on September 1, 2001, Kobayashi Kyaw restored the professional chess player qualifications. That said, the ban is actually eight full months.
Two years later, on February 20, 2002, in the fifth game of the 26th Japanese Chess Jihad Final, there was a spoon incident between Liu Shifu and Wang Licheng (we will explain the causes and consequences of this matter in detail later), which once again caused an uproar.
Today, we will use the length of an issue of the article to put these things aside, trying to analyze the real reason for Liu Shi's tragic experience.
What happened in the two years from the end of December 2000 to the 2002 Japanese chess holy war almost became a watershed in Yanagi's life, and since then, he has always gone downhill and has never returned to the ranks of top chess players, which seems to be inseparable from the way he usually behaves.
Yoo Shi-hyun is a Korean chess player in Japan, which means that he and Cho Ji-hoon, Cho Sun-jin, etc. are from South Korea.
Liu Shifu went to Japan at the age of fifteen, which is similar to the age when Wu Qingyuan went to Japan at the age of fourteen, Wang Minghuan went to Japan at the age of thirteen, and Wang Licheng went to Japan at the age of fourteen.
There is such a thing, which can explain the character of Yanagi Shifu. As early as 1991, the 20-year-old Liu Shifu visited China on behalf of the Japanese Go team to participate in the Sino-Japanese Youth Match, when the Chinese side attached great importance to it, the opponent he arranged for him was Chang Hao, a fifteen-year-old Chinese chess player, and such a thing happened during the game, Liu Shi smoked black, the mid-game stage (as shown in the picture), the black chess central dragon was eaten, and the victory of the white chess piece of the teenager Chang Hao was a foregone conclusion, but the referee did not read the seconds in time when Chang Hao entered the second reading, and three minutes later, after Chang Hao took over the △ position, Liu Shi smoked to stop the game and protested. Due to Liu Shixun's resolute attitude and believing that he had been treated unfairly, considering the mistakes of the Chinese referee, the game was finally judged to be unwinnable.
Chang Hao smoked black when he held the white willow
Yanagi makes reasonable use of the rules, but there is always something awkward about it.
Many years ago, chen zude and Kajiwara Takeo had the same thing, Chen Zude chose to obey the overall situation and continue to play.
Years later, a similar incident happened to Huang Yizhong and Kim Jianggen, who chose to give up the rematch in protest.
The entanglement between Liu Shifu and Xiaolin Jue, the entanglement between Liu Shifu and Wang Licheng, the chess players have taken sides, but Liu Shixun found that there are very few who support him in the team, which may be where he should seriously reflect.
