Go genius Chang Hao decided to marry his aunt Zhang Xuan, despite strong opposition from his relatives and mentor Nie Weiping. The two of them have already decided!
Because the two met because of Go, Zhang Xuan is 8 years older than Chang Hao, and she has a short marriage, and the outside world has a negative view of their relationship at all.
It's been 24 years since they've been married, so what is their life like now?
In the Chinese Go world, the name Chang Hao is known to everyone.
His success was not accidental, but was the result of his love for the game and perseverance in hard work.
When he was 6 years old, Chang Hao showed an interest in Go.
At that time, Chang Hao's mother took him to visit a friend, and the young and ignorant Chang Hao came into contact with Go at that time.
He developed a keen interest in the game and then expressed his idea to his mother.
His mother did not object to Chang Hao learning Go, but enrolled him in a Go interest class as soon as possible.
Therefore, Chang Hao began the process of systematically learning Xi Go.
When he first started playing Go, he simply thought the game was very interesting and didn't think about becoming a world champion.
Although Chang Hao's parents support his hobby, they are still strict with his Xi.
In school, Chang Hao has always been an academic leader, and he can get a certificate of merit from the school almost every time he takes an exam.
In addition to his busy Xi, he also found time to learn Xi Go.
With the passage of time, Chang Hao began to actively participate in various competitions and won many good results in the children's group competition.
Before he was 10 years old, he participated in the 1986 "Shentong Cup" Go competition, and performed very well in the competition, winning consecutive victories and finally advancing to the finals.
In the final, he defeated Yu Ping, an 11-year-old player from Sichuan, to win the championship.
In fact, this game is also an event that Nie Weiping uses to select talents.
Chang Hao's victory naturally attracted Nie Weiping's attention.
After the game, Nie Weiping specially invited Chang Hao to play a game of chess with him, and for the sake of fairness, Nie Weiping gave Chang Hao two chess pieces.
Chang Hao's strength is already amazing, he has developed to the point where he can compete with professional chess players, and finally he defeated Nie Weiping, who made the second son.
Nie Weiping completely shocked the young chess player and praised him!
This not only deeply touched all the audience, but also became an important turning point in Chang Hao's Go career.
When Nie Weiping invited the young Chang Hao to join the national team, he didn't know anything about Go, and everything depended on his mother's arrangement.
With the support of his mother, Chang Hao successfully joined the national team, and in order to help him develop better, his mother quit her job and devoted herself to Chang Hao's Go career.
After joining the national team, Chang Hao met someone who was very important to him, and this figure would play a very important role in his life!
There was a legendary woman in China, Zhang Xuan, who was one of the most outstanding female chess players of the time, known as the "Go genius".
However, her career has not been without its challenges, with challenges and changes.
At the age of 8, Zhang Xuan began to learn chess and successfully entered the national team in just four years.
As a female Go player, her chess skills have been perfected, her thinking is clear, and her moves are unexpected.
At the age of 12, Zhang Xuan has become a member of the national team.
She quickly became a high-profile rookie on the team.
During his days with the national team, Zhang Xuan met Chang Hao, a young genius with superb chess skills.
Although the two lived in different eras, they both shared a great passion for the art.
Because of the arrangement of the national team, the two national team members participated in the exchange activities between the adult group and the children's group respectively, which is actually an adult providing guidance to the children.
Their first encounter was not as good as they were. Considering the huge disparity in strength between him and Chang Hao, Zhang Xuan took the initiative to give him three chess pieces.
Despite this, Chang Hao still defeated Zhang Xuan with his outstanding talent and unremitting efforts.
This victory did not bring Chang Hao happiness, but made him feel Zhang Xuan's contempt for him, so he thought that the intersection of the two was just an insignificant matter.
In the following time, Chang Hao received careful guidance from the famous teacher Nie Weiping, and Nie Weiping also accepted him as an apprentice.
In fact, according to seniority, Zhang Xuan is Chang Hao's aunt.
Zhang Xuan married Lu Jian, a chess player from Heilongjiang, in 1990, when she was only 22 years old, and Lu Jian was already 29 years old.
After they got married, they often separated due to work reasons, which led to problems in their relationship, and they divorced in less than a year.
Feeling uncertain about the future, Zhang Xuan chose to move to Tokyo in 1991 to start a new life.
She spent 4 years in Japan and started her life anew.
In the spring of 1996, Yu Bin led China's young genius Chang Hao and others to go to Japan to participate in the 14th Fujitsu Cup World Professional Go Championship.
This game made Chang Hao famous, and he won five consecutive victories in one fell swoop, and the credit was not small.
With his help, the Chinese team got off to a good start.
As Yu Bin's old teammate, Zhang Xuan naturally paid close attention to Chang Hao's performance and felt very pleased.
The reincarnation of fate came again, and Zhang Xuan and Chang Hao reunited in Tokyo.
Today's Chang Hao is no longer the immature teenager he used to be.
After the game, Zhang Xuan invited him to his home.
Chang Hao's feelings for Zhang Xuan seem to have changed in his heart, and this meeting made him deeply realize that he had fallen in love with her.
He bravely confessed his heart to her, because he knew it was a deep love.
As a woman who has been married once, Zhang Xuan knows what challenges the two will face after marriage.
Therefore, she rejected Chang Hao's courtship, however, she underestimated Chang Hao's feelings for her.
In the days that followed, Chang Hao was very concerned about Zhang Xuan's life.
Zhang Xuan heard Chang Hao say: "We can face the voices of the outside world together, as long as the two of us love each other, what you are worried about is not a problem!" ”
Chang Hao's behavior finally moved Zhang Xuan.
The two decide to quietly unfold their secret romance, intending to make their relationship public at the right time.
They have realized that they will face pressure from all sides, especially strong opposition from their loved ones.
After their relationship, the people around them expressed doubts and opposition, even including Chang Hao's mother.
Chang Hao's mother often called Zhang Xuan ** and advised her to give up her relationship with Chang Hao.
Even Chang Hao's master, Nie Weiping, joined the ranks of persuading and opposing them.
Although facing the opposition of many people in the outside world, Zhang Xuan could no longer hold on in her heart, and for the sake of Chang Hao's future, she chose to leave quietly.
Zhang Xuan's departure brought unbearable pain to Chang Hao, and he looked for Zhang Xuan everywhere like crazy.
In just a few days after losing Zhang Xuan, Chang Hao seemed to be a different person, the whole person looked extremely haggard, and at the same time, he was sick in bed because he missed Zhang Xuan too much.
After learning that he was leaving, Zhang Xuan looked around for Chang Hao, and now that he was sick because of himself, this made Zhang Xuan very worried. In the end, she appeared in front of Chang Hao.
This time, they are convinced that love can overcome all challenges.
After this incident, they bravely came together again.
In 1999, the two of them happily entered the palace of marriage.
After marriage, the two have a clear division of labor, Chang Hao is responsible for going out to work, and Zhang Xuan is responsible for housework.
Chang Hao's Go career was at a low point, but thanks to Zhang Xuan's support, he regained his confidence and won the world championship again in 2007.
They have been working together for more than 20 years, and they can't help but sigh when they look back on this difficult but beautiful journey.
The road to love is not smooth, but it is one of the most precious treasures in life.
The beauty of love and marriage takes a long time of cultivation and running-in.
Factors such as personality, interests, etc., all play an important role in family harmony.
Only when both parties are willing to work hard for each other and understand and support each other can a strong emotional bond be truly built.
Let's hope that Chang Hao and his wife can continue to maintain a happy marriage in the future, and be able to spend time together in the face of difficulties in life.
