After all of us are reborn, who plays Go?

"Let us congratulate Zhan Lang Jiudan for once again winning the China-Japan Go Challenge!"

"There's no need to even look at Zhan Lang's chess. Every time I wake up, it's a victory!"

Everyone was quite happy at the celebration banquet of the China-Japan Go Challenge.

After all, this year we relied on Zhanlang to win the China-Japan Go Challenge Tournament again. Don't say that we rely on Zhanlang to win every time. Just tell me whether we won or not.

"However, the China-Japan Go Challenge will be changed to a team competition next year. Japan is ready to invite South Korea to participate and officially upgrade it to a three-nation team competition."

Zhan Lang looked at the excited people around him and couldn't help but remind them that starting from next year, one-man army would become a thing of the past.

"So next year it's all up to us. I've been training late every day these days! I even got Li Yiran to work from 9 to 9.

Don't fall behind! It's been a long time since you came to the national team training camp. How can I live without you, Zhanzi? Every time we discuss, I feel like an important person is missing! "

Fang Yuan felt like he had drunk a little bit of wine, his face slightly red, and he fell directly on Zhan Lang.

It’s not that the national team’s collective discussion is not good, but that the national team’s collective discussion is not as good as Zhan Lang’s guidance alone.

Zhan Lang always brings absolute inspiration to everyone at the critical moment and in the critical place. Even if everyone puts in 99% of sweat, you still need 1% of inspiration to get 1,000% of the effect.

Zhan Lang felt helpless when he saw Fang Yuan lying on top of him and acting crazy. He could only pat him on the shoulder and said, "OK, don't worry. I will go to the national team in a few days. After all, I don't want to see a strange situation where we lose to the Japanese team 1-4 or 2-3."

Although it was changed to a three-nation team competition, Zhan Lang wanted to use this opportunity to put pressure on the internal members of the national team, so that everyone would know that the victory or defeat is closely related to themselves, instead of thinking that as long as Zhan Lang has a backup, it will be fine.

In this way, the situation of this national team can slowly develop. After all, even after this Go craze is set off, it will take at least ten years for children to learn Go from now on to form a strength.

Most of those who watch the game are young and middle-aged people. The biggest factor that motivates them is that it allows their future children to have the opportunity to understand and learn Go, which is in the distant future.

Zhan Lang believes that decades later, with the economic development and complications of this boom, the strongest golden generation will emerge as expected, with geniuses entering the world championships at the age of fourteen and winning championships at the age of sixteen or seventeen emerging one after another.

It was at that time that Chinese Go truly stood up.

At this time, a host walked to the front of the stage with a microphone, and coughed twice while looking at the crowd gathered in the audience.

"Today is a very happy day. On behalf of the Chinese Chess Institute, I would like to thank all the leaders and players present here for their long-term support. It can be said that without everyone's efforts, Chinese Go would not be where it is today.

I would like to thank everyone for coming to the celebration banquet of the China-Japan Go Challenge Tournament. I would also like to thank us this time, no, I should say that we have made the most outstanding contribution from several tournaments to the world championships over such a long period of time, Zhan Lang 9th Dan! Where are the applause from everyone! "

When Zhan Lang heard this, he knew that the highlight of the night was about to begin. After all, he had already heard about it in advance and knew what was going to happen tonight.

But he also has his own plans.

Listening to the enthusiastic applause from below, the host continued with a smile and said: "Today is a very happy day, but there is something even happier today. Please invite the leaders of our General Administration of Sports to come on stage and tell us about it." Upon hearing this, a leader in a suit walked up to the stage, took the microphone and said with a smile: "I have also watched the development of Chinese Go all the way. I remember looking back decades ago, when it was the 1950s, General Secretary Chen used Go to open up the diplomatic situation and invited Japanese players to play chess, but at that time we really couldn't beat them.

It was a very tragic defeat. We couldn't even beat the Japanese players who were 3rd or 4th dan. They even thought that all our players were amateurs. I think many older players still remember this memory vividly.

But this also made us learn from our mistakes and become braver. We kept learning and improving, and finally a Chinese chess player was able to defeat a Japanese ninth-dan player. It was just a breakthrough from zero to one.

After that, Zhan Lang, a 9th-dan player, emerged out of nowhere and defeated Japan's top players. He even turned the tide in a desperate situation and won the championship of the first China-Japan Go Challenge Tournament.

This is a miracle in itself, but this miracle has continued, and has continued to this day, probably the last tournament. China has won all the victories, and all of them were brought by Zhan Lang Jiudan.

So, on behalf of the Sports Federation, I am here to present the Chess Saint Certificate to Zhan Lang, 9th Dan! Please invite Zhan Lang, 9th Dan, to the stage to receive the award."

Hearing this, thunderous applause broke out again from the audience.

Zhan Lang was also pushed onto the stage by the crowd. Looking at the certificate handed over to him, Zhan Lang peeled it off and touched it, then took the microphone from the other side: "Thank you very much for your recognition and the honor you have given me, but I feel that this title is a bit too big, and I may not be able to accept it.

Canonization is indeed a sacred thing. I feel that my contribution is still too small. I just did the right thing at the right time and in the right place. I got this title not because of how great I am, but luck may have played a bigger role.

I hope that there will be better chess players than me in the future, and I also believe that there will be better chess players than me in the future, so for the title of Go Saint, I would like to donate it like Japan's Honinbo.

I will personally fund the Chinese Chess Saint Tournament, and hope that everyone can participate and challenge for this title. Of course, I will be more shameless and just sit in the position of the challenged and wait for everyone to challenge me. "

Everyone was a little surprised to hear this. Did they really not expect Zhan Lang to donate this title for the competition and even fully sponsor the competition?
Is Zhan Lang so rich?
However, many people who are familiar with Zhan Lang know that this guy is really that rich.

I won’t mention the other things, including the prize money from several World Series and that guy’s weird investment vision.

However, most people still turned their eyes to the leaders of the Sports Federation, because everyone was wondering whether the other side would agree.

The person from the Sports Federation also felt the gazes of the audience. This matter was not something Zhan Lang came up with on the spur of the moment, but had been discussed in advance: "We naturally respect the opinion of Zhan Lang, 9th Dan. It can be said that this is another great thing for Chinese Go."

Zhan Lang heard this and said, "And I want to tell you better news. China and Japan have already started negotiating to host the World Go League, and there are many sponsors in China who are interested in sponsoring the team. Once this competition is held, it will be an epoch-making crisis revolution.

In the future, Chinese chess players will have more competition opportunities and will also face stronger challenges from foreign countries. However, it is precisely because of the impact and pressure that everyone will grow more rapidly, and China will surely stand at the top of the world Go!

Chinese culture is the coolest!"
