Stop struggling and you stop living. Only by bravely climbing a peak can you get a visual feast in which all other mountains look small under the sky. Only when you cross a river can you appreciate the elegance of waves restraining flying boats. All the glories of the past are fleeting, and the real success is that there is no lack of courage to start from scratch at any time.

Hou Yifan is such a legendary woman, from a young genius to a chess player, from winning the championship in succession to entering the campus for further study. She used her own attitude to tell the world the meaning of "tearing off the label" and "writing freely". Even if she succeeds, she is not immersed in glory, but is firmly moving towards a higher academic hall.

A chess genius was born.

The photo of talented woman Hou Yifan still hangs in the historical corridor of her alma mater, inspiring the younger generation to move forward. Hou Yifan's talent was discovered in primary school. Faced with the choice of Go, China Chess and Chess, she chose Chess with interest. Her parents set no restrictions on her free development. Unexpectedly, she really made a name for herself by playing chess.

In 2003, she represented China in the World Children's Age Group Competition, won the championship and became famous in World War I ... At the age of 65,438+03, she became the women's grandmaster, at the age of 65,438+06, she became the youngest world chess champion, and after defending the world chess at the age of 65,438+07, she was invincible all the way.

She played against a female chess player in a slow chess game, and she hasn't lost for 20 years. Zhang Ailing said: Be famous early. But Hou Yifan, who became famous at a young age, has to bear great pressure, and more importantly, he has the determination to surpass his peers. In the face of unwarranted accusations and abuse on the internet, she is also sad and painful, but it has turned into a driving force for progress.

Life is the same, everything is the same, this is her life creed. Today, she is still the only female chess player in the world who scored 2600, maintaining an unbreakable myth record.

Retire after success and choose to go to college for further study.

As a competitive sport, chess players, like other athletes, also eat youth meals. Originally, Hou Yifan has stood at the top of the chess world, and no one can shake her position. She should just keep her honor until she retires. Unexpectedly, this unusual little girl suddenly made a bold decision and went back to college to study again. The decision to go back to the furnace for further study seems crazy, but it is actually a well-thought-out decision of Hou Yifan.

As a world champion, she has always had a regret that she didn't go to school as well as most people and finish her studies at an appropriate age. Although she is a chess genius, Hou Yifan feels that the lack of other knowledge has bound her vision and pattern. Even in the days of intense preparation for the competition, she always has to be able to squeeze out time, read books and study.

18 years old, Hou Yifan entered Peking University for further study. In China's highest institution of higher learning, Hou Yifan's gold is still shining. When the doubts from the outside world came at her like a scourge, saying that she wanted to retire was the strongest, she just laughed it off.

At school, she didn't give up improving her chess skills, and she still won the prize in the chess competition. Not only that, she also won the first place in her studies. Stiffness and perfection, as a part of Hou Yifan's personality, deeply affect her every move. Although born as a daughter, her ability is not worse than that of men.

Three years ago, Hou Yifan won the Rhodes Scholarship, a world-class scholarship known as the "Nobel Prize for Global Undergraduates". Later, she got the opportunity to study at Oxford University. From then on, Hou Yifan showed the world a truth: she is not a genius in any special field, but her efforts can take her to any peak she wants to climb. This kind of courage and perseverance have to be admired.

Studying is good for her. There is no fixed pattern in life.

If Hou Yifan has been confined to the chessboard for the past twenty years, hoping to improve her ability and win the championship again and again, then entering school has opened up new possibilities for her life.

In the process of constantly acquiring knowledge, she has cultivated the overall pattern and broad vision of Hou Yifan and treated sports. She put it this way: "Sports should not be used as a political tool, but it can still be used as a diplomatic medium to promote relations between countries." "Small chessboard, big world, I hope that the global trend can also achieve a win-win situation of human destiny in a relaxed state."

At the age of 26, she once again broke through herself and became the youngest female professor in the world of chess, winning applause from the world again. When she first entered Peking University, she worked as a teaching assistant in a chess class. She used her savvy to explain the subtleties of chess to hundreds of students, and the students were still full of praise. Hou Yifan, as a great chess player, can carry forward the influence of chess while winning honors, and regard it as a career. He did it.

She said: Life is about seeing more different scenery. Indeed, if you stay in a circle for a long time, you will naturally feel tired and do your best. So, is the next step to dream with the myth created by yourself? Hou Yifan's answer is no, failure is not terrible, the terrible thing is to shut out new things and dare not try.

Defend the dignity of chess and give up huge bonuses.

All along, the rules of chess have been formulated by big countries in Europe and America. In this field, China entered relatively slowly, and the right to speak was naturally small. Four years ago, Hou Yifan did something that shocked the world of chess. She informed the Chess Federation that she officially withdrew from this year's Women's Series of the Chess Federation. She gave up the huge bonus that originally belonged to her, only to defend her dignity as a female chess player and challenge the existing system of the Chess Federation.

Faced with the unfairness of the chess federation system to female players and various unreasonable rules, Hou Yifan challenged and tried his best to overcome the accusations. She has two purposes. One is to force yourself to cut off the retreat, in order to bravely find a way out. The second is to call for gender equality, hoping to make more rulemakers pay attention to this point.

She said that our life is like playing chess. Once we make a decision, it's hard to go back. Even as a soldier, there are endless possibilities. Yes, no one can define what a successful life is. Only by living life itself, even a small wild chrysanthemum can show its gorgeous fragrance.

The New York Times called Hou Yifan "the spokesman for the rise of China". Such a high evaluation shows Hou Yifan's influence on the world.
