Wang Zengqi is an interesting old man who has written many interesting articles, but he rarely writes reviews for other works:
I rarely write reviews. Very few of the writers I've reviewed are people I know well.However, Ah Cheng is an exception.
Wang Zengqi has never seen Ah Cheng, but after reading Ah Cheng's ** "The Chess King", he decided to write a comment for this **, which has a sentence that says:
People always have to stay in something and indulge in it. Only when you have something can you confirm your own existence and truly find out your own value.
People always have to have something, and life is meaningful. People must always mobilize the essence of their lives, fight hard, and refine themselves into their own swords like cadres and Mo Xie, which is called living."The King of Chess" tells the story of a chess nerd, he loves to play chess, but not for fame and fortune, just because he likes it, chess is a part of his life, as soon as he plays chess, he will forget the pain of life and indulge in the world of chess.
People must have love in life, because life is hard, but love can resist the long years, and it can also give us the opportunity to escape into love and gain the energy to face the pain of life.
Wang's life was bumpy, and it was not easy to survive.
His mother, before liberation, was a prostitute, and later was taken care of, and became a concubine, but the man was not good to her, beating and scolding, she secretly ran away with another man, but as soon as she was liberated, this man disappeared.
At that time, Wang Shengsheng's mother had just conceived her, and she had no food and clothing, and she was a woman who didn't know how to make a living, so she remarried.
As a result, Wang had another stepfather in his life.
The stepfather worked hard, but his body and bones gradually failed, and he was uneducated, so he earned less and less money, and later gave birth to a daughter, which made it even more difficult for the family.
When Wang Shengsheng was in elementary school, he had a good brain and good grades, and his teachers liked him, but he never went to spring outings and movies, and just wanted to save a little bit for his family.
His mother was afraid that he would be wronged, so he looked for work to do everywhere, and then he folded the pages of the book in the printing house, and every day after school, Wang Shengsheng went home to help his mother fold the pages.
When I have time, I go to the street to watch people play chess, and after watching it for a few days, my hands are itchy, but I don't have the money to buy chess, so I can only make a pair of chess with cardboard, take it to school to play, and play it, and I will be familiar with it.
There was no opponent in the school, and he went to the street to find someone to go down.
This time, my mother was panicked, chess is a pastime game for the rich, in the eyes of ordinary people, indulging in chess is not doing business, ** study hard Xi find a good livelihood in the future, she knelt in front of Wang Shengsheng and said:
If you don't study well, your mother will die here.Wang Shengsheng promised his mother that he would not play chess in the future.
But he had fallen in love with chess, his mind was full of chess, and his mother saw that he didn't love anything else, so she loved chess, so she said, "You can play, but don't go crazy, you can't fall behind in your homework."
From then on, he got out of school, did his homework first, played chess when he was done, and then helped his mother with the work until he went to bed.
However, even when he was doing manual work, he was thinking about chess, and sometimes he would slap the table and shout chess moves in a daze, which startled the family.
Chess has become something in Wang's life, and his life has been satisfied in chess.
Loving one thing with all your heart is satisfying in itself.
A person who spends his time in ** will reap the rewards.
If a person puts his mind on **, there will be discoveries.
If a person puts his love in the first place, there will be progress.
True love is not the indulgence of desire, but the desire to do one thing well and be satisfied while doing it.
Wang loved chess all his life, and Qi played better and better, and the teacher said to him
You are in the children's palace chess group, study hard, and you can win the championship in the future.However, his mother told him:
If you don't go to the chess group, if you want to learn, you can learn useful skills. If you play chess well, you can still eat it?The useful skills that my mother said were the knowledge and skills that would make you money in the future, and I specialized in learning chess, which was done by rich people in the past, because they didn't expect to play chess and eat. Wang Shengsheng rejected the teacher's proposal, and after the teacher found out, he didn't say anything, but just bought a chess piece and gave it to Wang Shengsheng.
Mother told Wang Shengsheng:
When you earn money and support your family, you can do whatever you want, whatever you want.However, when he was on the first day of junior high school, his mother died, and before he died, he specially said to him:
On this street, they all say that you play chess well, Mom believes it, but Mom can't hurt you in chess, how do you excel in chess, in the end is not a job.She also told Wang Shengsheng's stepfather that he must provide for Wang Shengsheng to finish junior high school, because he can earn money after finishing junior high school.
Subsequently, her mother took out a chess piece and gave it to Wang Shengsheng, which she carefully polished, and there was not a single word on it, because her mother was illiterate.
Seeing this wordless chess, Wang Shengsheng cried bitterly.
For the poor, the most important thing is to have enough to eat, and everything else is the last thing.
's mother didn't let Wang learn chess all his life, because she was worried that she would not be able to live on Wang Yi.
However, in this life, people still have to love something, otherwise, if they only care about their bodies and eat enough, their souls can only starve to death.
In life, eating is a big thing.
But if you want to live well, you can't just think about eating.
Wang loved chess all his life, and because of his love, he became a chess nerd in the eyes of others.
Everywhere he went, he had to look for opponents to play chess and face off against road chess players.
At that time, there were many onlookers, pickpockets took the opportunity to steal, and some people found that the person who was traveling with Wang Shengsheng was a thief, so they thought that Wang Shengsheng was in a group with the thief, so they arrested him, and during the interrogation, Wang Shengsheng looked stupid and stupid, did not know anything, and was finally escorted back to school.
This matter made Wang Shengsheng a talking point at school.
But Wang Shengsheng still did not change his original intention, looking for chess masters everywhere to duel, there was a classmate's father, who was a famous player in China, Wang Shengsheng went to meet, the famous player did not say a word, put an endgame of the ancients, let Wang Shengsheng, Wang Shengsheng won.
The famous man was greatly surprised, and wanted to take the king as an apprentice for the rest of his life.
But the king was even more amazed in his life, and he asked:
Have you solved this endgame?Famous Hand Back:
Not yet.Wang Shengsheng replied:
Then why should I be your apprentice?What he wants is to improve chess, but the famous player thinks that he can't be a man, has a bad character, and is unruly.
Wang didn't care all his life.
Later, Wang Shengsheng met an old man who picked up rags, he was a master, Wang Shengsheng played chess with him for three days, and only won one game, Wang Shengsheng admired the old man.
The old man was suffering at that time, and he posted a big-character poster, and Wang Shengsheng insisted on tearing up the big-character poster for the old man and not wanting the old man to work.
Unexpectedly, he got into trouble, but Wang didn't care about it all his life, and still looked for masters from all walks of life to duel, and his chess became more and more sophisticated.
It's a pity that the whole country was busy with the revolution, and Wang Shengsheng also got into a train and became one of the educated youths in the countryside.
If people work hard, they will reap the harvest.
Therefore, people who are bent on money and are willing to work hard will have more money than others, and people who are bent on fame and willing to work hard to gain fame will have a better reputation than others.
A person, first of all, is shaped by the environment, and secondly, he becomes.
When a person truly loves something, the power of the individual will ignore the influence of the environment and will break free from the shackles of the environment.
For Wang Shengsheng, the two most important things in a person's life are eating and playing chess.
When there is food to eat, the body has strength.
Where there is chess to play, the soul has a home.
In the car, Wang Shengsheng chatted with people, and he couldn't do without playing chess and eating, he pulled people to play chess, and people didn't play, he said:
How do you know what is going on with us people, there are so many things in the world that we don't understand!Someone asked him:
It is said that you can skip meals while playing chess
He replied:
Once people are obsessed with something, eating is not an important thing.Talking about the question of how to live, my friend said:
Eating is not only a stomach need, but also a spiritual need.But Wang Shengsheng felt that this was gluttony, desire, and thinking about it better.
My friend asked again
What about you?He said:
I'm more realistic about what I eat.Soon, food was brought to the educated youths on the train, and when he ate, he ate in an almost pious manner.
As soon as he got the meal, he began to eat it quickly, his face was full of tendons, and he often stopped abruptly and carefully wiped the rice grains and soup and oil flowers on the side of his mouth or chin into his mouth with his whole index finger.
If a grain of rice falls on his clothes, he immediately pushes it with his hand and puts it in his mouth, and if one of them does not hold it down and falls to the ground, he immediately looks for it under him, and then picks it up and eats it.
Once, while playing chess, he suddenly noticed a grain of rice that had shrunk up, and he quickly put it in his mouth and chewed it vigorously.
He is devout and meticulous about eating, and sometimes you can even pity him for eating all the dregs, which is a bit inhumane.
In Wang Shengsheng's view, as long as people have food to eat, life is good.
After eating, he likes to play chess, and when he plays chess, he will forget about the world when he is in chess, and there is no trouble, only chess.
There are two most important things in life, one is to take care of your body, because the body is our proof in this world.
The other is to take care of our souls, which are the proof of how we live.
However, many people often forget these two most important things.
When he went to the countryside to work, Wang Shengsheng felt that this kind of life was very good.
The good thing is that **?
There is money, there is food.
Some friends complained that they ate too little oil and water, and Wang Shengsheng said with a smile
You people, you think of the icing on the cake. I am quite content, and if a person is content, a full meal is a blessing.In his opinion, any other requirements for food and clothing other than food and clothing are unimportant, just desires. My friend laughed and said, don't you think everything is fine?Why do you have to play chess, isn't it redundant?
He laughed and said
I'm obsessed with chess, and I'm comfortable staying in it.At the beginning of going to the countryside, Wang sent all the money he earned in his life to his family, and he only maintained basic living needs, and later, his sister also had a job, so he didn't have to send so much money to his family, he wanted to take advantage of this effort, and he would meet chess players from all walks of life.
A friend told him that there was just a big tournament and that Wang could participate in a chess tournament for the rest of his life.
However, for half a year, Wang Shengsheng always asked for leave to play chess, and even forgot to sign up for the competition, and when he knew that he rushed back to register, the leader said that he did not perform well, and he was not allowed to participate in the competition, and he did not even report his name.
But Wang Shengsheng was not very angry, he wanted to participate in the competition, he just wanted to play chess with real masters, not to win any fame.
A friend took advantage of his connections to help Wang Shengsheng register for his name.
But Wang Shengsheng said:
I'm not competing anymore. I don't want to compete anymore.Because he feels that this is a trade, he wants to play chess, but he doesn't want to play chess like this, and participating in a game like this will only poke people in the backbone.
He decided that when the competition decided the winners, he would visit them again and play with them alone.
Some hobbies should be pure, and some likes, should be clean.
We are alive, and we have to put something clean in our hearts.
Nowadays, we have a lot of things that can be traded, and there is nothing that we cannot give up in order to achieve our goals, but it is precisely because of this that we lack certain important things in our lives.
After the game, Wang Shengsheng got his wish and played chess with all the outstanding players.
But instead of visiting one person as he wished, he fought against many people at the same time.
In the end, Wang Shengsheng fought nine people by himself, swallowing mountains and rivers.
There were many onlookers, and before the game, he handed over his schoolbag to a friend for safekeeping, which contained the "wordless chess" given to him by his mother.
Nine games in a row, Wang Shengsheng sat in **, one person against nine people, a thin body, sitting steadily in the wind, hands on his knees, eyes level, as if looking at the far and far away, and as if staring at the very near, very close, his eyes only have chess.
Three of the nine remained, and one of the three remained.
Wang Shengsheng won.
He became a real chess king.
People commented on his chess:
Huidao Zen in a furnace, clever calculations, the first sound is powerful, the second strike, send the dragon to control the water, the air runs through the yin and yang, ancient and modern Confucian generals, but so.He's a chess king, but at the moment, he's a real person.
A real person is not a body that can eat and walk, but a living body, plus a full soul.
Mr. Wang Zengqi said
"The King of Chess" is about eating and playing chess.I thought it was about the body and soul, and a person should not only take care of his body, but also his soul.
In our world, I have traveled a lot, met a lot of people, heard a lot of things, and eaten a lot, but I found that many people work hard to eat, wear, shelter and travel, but they don't know that their souls are already hungry and cold.
I know a lot of people who work so hard for their jobs and then complain desperately at home.
I've seen a lot of people who are well fed and have complained about a bad life.
Because they have forgotten their souls, and their souls are empty, they can only fill them with these external things.
Wang's life was not good, but he did not complain about life, and he was satisfied when he was full, because he loved chess, and his soul was therefore full.
Many times, we are barren, not because we lack materiality, but because we have an empty soul.
