22 years ago, you changed your nationality and married Tsinghua, a royal family in the Middle East. Did you regret it? Too haggard to admit it

In 2000, the beautiful chess player Zhu Chen welcomed her "top flow" moment.

Zhu Chen, a talented female chess player, wants to give up her nationality and become a polygamous Qatari.

After she married the husband of Qatar royal family, she also represented Qatar in international competitions.

Public opinion is in an uproar.

Now that 22 years have passed, public opinion has long since subsided. Zhu Chen, who occasionally appears in front of the camera, looks a little haggard.

At the beginning of last year, Zhu Chen's teacher Huang Minju published a new book. Zhu Chen couldn't go to the scene for various reasons, but he expressed his blessing to the master through video.

Although it is beautiful, Zhu Chen's face in the video is still slack and drooping. Her hair is loose, it seems that there is not much hair and the hairline is a bit high. Although the whole person's state is temperament online, the vicissitudes in his eyes can't be hidden.

In May 2020, she also released a video to encourage the China Chess Team. At that time, she looked obviously drooping eyes and less hair.

46 years old is not too old for us.

Today's Zhu Chen is completely different from the energetic chess queen many years ago.

People say that time can change a person and carve a person's face. Twenty-two years is not short. How is Zhu Chen?

1976, Zhu Chen, from Wenzhou, Zhejiang. Her father is an engineer and her mother is a middle school teacher. The "book fragrance" at home is very strong.

At the age of eight, Zhu Chen, who was gifted and intelligent, began to learn chess with Huang, and later studied with famous teachers Ye Rongguang and Xu Jun. His chess skills improved rapidly.

Later, Zhu Chenhao lived up to expectations and went far on the road of playing chess.

12 years old, world champion of the children's group of the national elephant.

18 years old, young world champion.

At the age of 25, she won the national elephant women's world championship.

Zhu Chencheng is the first chess player in the world to win the world championship in juvenile, youth and adult competitions. This beautiful chess player who graduated from Tsinghua has won many honors for the country.

Many people in China regard her as our pride.

Until later, Zhu Chen met a man who completely subverted her fate-Muhammad.

1994, they met at the Asian Junior Chess Championship.

At that time, Zhu Chen's impression of Muhammad was "terrible".

Because at that time, Zhu Chen had won several men's grandmasters in a row, and his self-confidence was bursting. She felt that she and her teammates would win the final victory soon. So when Zhu Chen met Mohammed from Qatar, he didn't take him seriously.

Unexpectedly, he was suppressed by his opponent and lost to "the best Arab chess player in the 20th century".

This finally made Zhu Chen begin to notice this scrawny little boy in Qatar.

After the game, Muhammad asked Zhu Chen for his phone number. But there was no phone in Zhu Chen's dormitory at that time, so I left the phone number of the translator to the other party.

When I came back, I got a call from Muhammad and translated it to tease Zhu Chen. What happened to this Qatari boy?

After a while, the two met again in another game. This time, Muhammad lost to his opponent. Zhu Chen had a good trip here.

After losing the game, Muhammad sat alone by the pool and felt sad. Zhu Chen sat not far behind Muhammad.

The Qatar boy's lost eyes plunged into Zhu Chen's heart.

Fate is strange. When the two meet again, the small flames in each other's hearts begin to thrive. Thus, this foreign love began.

Actually, love doesn't go well.

First of all, Zhu Chen's parents don't like Muhammad.

Muhammad comes from Qatar, which supports polygamy. In principle, Muhammad can have four wives. What should my daughter do if she is wronged when she marries abroad in the future?

What if there is a contradiction between living habits and beliefs?

Besides, Zhu Chen's marrying a foreigner is a very attractive topic in itself, and her daughter will be caught in the quagmire of public opinion in the future.

Muhammad's condition is not good.

Muhammad's family is related to the royal family of Qatar, so Muhammad is of Qatari royal descent. In order to maintain pure blood, the royal family generally does not let its members marry foreign women. After all, it is abandoning Zhu Chenhao's birth. So it is difficult for Muhammad to get permission to marry Zhu Chen.

In an interview, Zhu Chen once said that Muhammad's family hoped that he would marry a suitable Islamic woman to build a big house first, and then marry Zhu Chen as a second wife.

But this proposal was rejected by Muhammad, who said that he would only marry Zhu Chen in his life.

In this way, with the insistence of the two, the two elders finally let go.

In 2000, Zhu Chen and Muhammad entered the marriage hall, and the wedding was very low-key.

Zhu Chen knows that the road ahead will be very difficult. She said:

As she expected, their married life was really difficult.

Regardless of the differences in cultural beliefs and living habits, there are a lot of "professional contradictions" alone.

One of Zhu Chen and Mohammed lives in Qatar and the other in China. If they have to compete to meet, it is tantamount to "long-distance love".

Living apart makes life very unstable, and Zhu Chen wants to change.

What shall we do? Either Zhu Chen will go to Qatar or Muhammad will come to China.

At first, I wanted Muhammad to come to China.

In order to stay together, Muhammad joined the Jiangsu team and participated in the Go game in China. But Muhammad didn't adapt to this kind of life. With the opposition of his family, he quickly returned to Qatar.

Zhu Chenhao said:

Muhammad's family always hoped that Zhu Chen could go to Qatar. But if you go to Qatar, Zhu Chen won't be able to play chess until he changes his nationality. In order to continue to pursue his passion in Qatar, Zhu Chen has only one way to go-change his nationality.

After changing her nationality, Zhu Chen represented Qatar in international competitions.

During that time, a report entitled "Zhu Chen will miss the World Championships to represent Qatar in the Asian Games" pushed Zhu Chen to the forefront.

Reminiscent of Zhu Chen's daily life, there are often different luxury cars. This luxurious life can be regarded as a "local tyrant" of Muhammad.

Suddenly, people criticized Zhu Chen for giving up his nationality in order to marry a rich man. I am ashamed of the cultivation of my master and everyone's trust.

During that time, Zhu Chen was under great psychological pressure.

Talking about the status quo, Zhu Chen said:

Her words vaguely revealed a lot of helplessness about the state of life.

Yang, a teacher of Zhu Chen, couldn't help crying when talking about her disciples. She said that she had seen Zhu Chen, who had returned to China during that time. She looked haggard and older than herself. Yang said: "Zhu Chen is a very strong person. How can she stand it? "

In terms of marriage, Zhu Chen seems to have encountered difficulties.

After the marriage, Zhu Chen gave birth to two daughters to Muhammad. Having never had a son, Muhammad's family had the idea of marrying another wife for Muhammad. After all, Muhammad is the eldest son of the family.

Zhu Chen also vaguely revealed in the interview:

As can be seen from the speech, Zhu Chen no longer insists on her husband's oath of "only marrying one".

She even said half-jokingly in a program that she wanted her best friend to marry her husband.

Zhu Chen once participated in a talk show with his best friend, the famous makeup artist Qiu Ping. In the program, Zhu Chen broke the news that she often persuaded her best friend to marry her husband and let her go to Qatar. She said to Qiu Ping:

Of course, this is a half-joking tone.

But throughout the interview, Zhu Chen kept repeating a sentence: "A wife always belongs to her husband!"

In fact, in Qatar, three wives and four concubines are allowed, and wives do have the obligation to find a little wife for their husbands. If Zhu Chen has approved the marriage system in Qatar, it is impossible to know whether this joke is her "sadness".

Muhammad was silent for a moment and then replied softly, "I don't know."

However, although he changed his nationality, Zhu Chen will often come back to contribute to the development of chess in China.

For example, set up a chess institute to organize competitions, participate in activities and make suggestions for our chess competitions.

In addition, Zhu Chen now has a new identity-the treasurer of the Chess Federation.

In this new identity, she is obviously much better.

She is mainly responsible for the organization and promotion of chess competitions around the world, and her work is very busy. But I will go back to China every year to promote the development of chess in China.

22 years have passed. Will Zhu Chen regret it?

There must be no regrets.

I remember Zhu Chen wrote an autobiography called "No regrets in playing chess". She said that she never regretted marrying Muhammad or her choice.

Indeed, chess is like life, and there is no regret in moving.

Anyway, I hope Zhu Chen will let go of her burden and wish her happiness.

What do you think of Zhu Chen?
