Despite Nie Weiping's opposition, Chang Hao insisted on marrying his aunt who was eight years older than him. How are they now?

Speaking of the most enviable model couple in China Weiqi, Chang Hao and Natalie are bound to be on the list.

Chang Hao and Natalie are both national players in China Weiqi, and they are top players in China and even the world in terms of strength and qualifications.

Let's start with Chang Hao. He is one of the most famous Go geniuses in China. He is a master of China Jiu Duan, and South Korean stars Cui Zhehan and Li Changgao have been defeated by him.

Besides, Natalie, compared with her husband Chang Hao, is a talented girl in Go, although her grades are inferior. For consecutive 13 years, China ranked first in women's Go, and she was an eighth-stage player in China Go.

She studied chess at the age of 8, joined the national junior training team at the age of 65,438+02, set a four-stage career at the age of 65,438+04, won the national women's championship at the age of 22, and rose to the eighth stage of Weiqi at the age of 29.

Natalie has won 1 world champions in her life, that is, 1998, the fifth Baohai Cup World Women's Championship, and also won several domestic champions:

1986, the "Strait Cup" women's champion; 1989, champion of "Five Cows Cup"; 1990, national individual women's champion; In 2000, he won the fourth mixed doubles championship of Hitachi Cup.

200 1, the wave cup women's celebrity battle won the championship; In 2002, he won the mixed doubles championship of professional Go in China.

Chang Hao and Natalie are both Go geniuses and world champions. They are a talented person and a beautiful woman. Their combination is really a match made in heaven, and love is like oxygen. They can't match each other better.

65438-0999, Chang Hao and Natalie got married in Changning District.

As soon as the good news came out, the whole Weiqi world was happy for it, and for a pair of lovers to be happy. In the field of Go in China, an enviable "Go Couple" was born.

Chen Zude, president of the Chinese Chess Academy, was so happy that he even said, "Good! Ok! "

The Go circles in China and Japan have also sent congratulatory messages to congratulate the talented men and women in the Go circles on their centenary marriage, and wish them a long and happy life. I hope they can achieve better results together in the future and win more honors for China Go.

Who would have thought that at this moment, the newlyweds who were sincerely blessed by the Weiqi circles of China, Japan and South Korea were once criticized for their love.

Chang Hao and Natalie met for the first time on February 1, 1986, when Natalie 18 and Chang Hao 10 were old.

That day, as usual, Chang Hao played chess with the players in the training ground of the National Youth Team. Just as everyone was discussing the next step, the coach suddenly came to the chess room to tell everyone to be quiet, and then introduced a beautiful girl behind him to everyone, saying that she had come to play chess with everyone.

This little girl is Natalie.

At that time, Natalie was already a well-known talented girl in Weiqi. Many famous Go players who are much older than themselves have reached the finals and won the championship in this year's "Strait Cup".

Chang Hao and Natalie are both Go geniuses, and there is always something to appreciate between them. There is also a feeling that no one will obey each other.

Seeing that Natalie was going to learn chess from them, Chang Hao immediately offered to play a game with Natalie, and Natalie accepted it without cowardice.

Zhang Xuanyuan thinks that Chang Hao is young and has no rich game experience. At first, he didn't try to play chess with him. But as time went on, Natalie gradually found that he could not beat Chang Hao. He was secretly surprised by Chang Hao's sharp but steady chess style, and immediately began to try his best to play against him.

However, even though Natalie tried her best to play against Chang Hao, the result was still a draw.

The battle left a deep impression on both sides.

"Our love is a long-term model, and Go is my matchmaker." Chang Hao said.

Two people can be together for a hundred years, starting with Go.

After the war, Chang Hao and Zhang Xuan often played chess with each other. Because Natalie is eight years older than Chang Hao and has more experience in Go than Chang Hao, their study is more like Natalie instructing Chang Hao to play Go, Natalie is a teacher and Chang Hao is a student.

In the five years before Natalie 199 1 went to Japan to study Go, Natalie gave a lot of help and guidance both technically and morally.

As time went on, the two spent more and more time together, and Chang Hao gradually fell in love with this 8-year-old sister.

At this time, Natalie also saw love from Chang Hao's eyes, but she didn't feel anything about Chang Hao, but found it ridiculous. For a long time, she just regarded Chang Hao as her student and her brother. In her eyes, Chang Hao is just a child and has no other thoughts.

The clever Chang Hao couldn't see that Natalie had only teacher-student affection and brotherly affection for him at the moment, but he was always reluctant to let go of this unrequited love because Chang Hao couldn't get along with him for a long time.

199 1, the day before Natalie went to Japan to learn chess, Chang Hao was very depressed when she learned that Natalie was leaving. Walking alone in the street, he chose a Weiqi jar made in Jingdezhen as a gift for Natalie, hoping that she could play chess with it when she was learning Weiqi in Japan, so that when she saw the Weiqi jar, she would think of herself and never forget herself.

This difference is exactly four years.

In the four years after Natalie left, Chang Hao often missed her, but she didn't sink.

The passage of time not only deepened Chang Hao's yearning for Natalie, but also made Chang Hao's chess skills more and more exquisite, faded from his former youth and became more and more like a national player.

1994, Chang Hao won the challenge right of big country players, won the fifth place in the eighth "Top Ten Competition", and entered the semi-final of the sixth Chess King Competition.

1995, Chang Hao, who was only 19 years old, went all the way to the finals and won the national individual championship, which made him famous in the chess world.

1996, Chang Hao was selected for the 10th China-Japan Weiqi Competition, and won five Japanese Weiqi masters in succession, which made great contributions to the victory of the China team.

That is, when he was playing in Japan, he didn't rest as soon as he got off the plane. He immediately went to the major chess houses in Japan to find the trace of Natalie, but unfortunately he never found it.

Because Natalie has never been found, Chang Hao's mood has become extremely depressed, and the depressed mood has also affected Chang Hao's next game. When playing against the Japanese national player, restless Chang Hao made mistakes one after another and even met with danger.

What he doesn't know at the moment is that the girl he thinks of is sitting in the audience, watching him play ball wholeheartedly, afraid that he will lose to the Japanese national player.

Natalie, who was studying Go in Japan at that time, learned that Japanese players were coming to Japan to play against Japanese players, and immediately rushed to the game site to watch the game between China and China.

At this time, she saw that her "younger brother" Chang Hao was somewhat absent-minded when playing against Japanese players. Even when he is in danger, he doesn't care that he is watching the game in the audience. He immediately stood up and shouted at Changhao who was still playing: "Changhao must be calm!"

Hearing his yearning voice, some absent-minded Chang Hao was shocked. Not in the game, he immediately looked back at the audience and looked around for the person who especially missed him.

Soon, Chang Hao found Natalie, who had been thinking for four years, and saw Zhang looking at herself with some worries.

After seeing Natalie, Chang Hao was very excited, and the loss in his heart vanished immediately. Suddenly full of confidence, the former exclusive Go player returned to the field. After that, Chang Hao quickly adjusted his mentality and won five Japanese masters in a row.

After the game, Chang Hao didn't accept the cheers of the crowd, but immediately ran to the audience to look for Natalie.

At the sight of Natalie, Chang Hao couldn't control his emotions any longer, and ran to Natalie in tears, saying that I finally found you, finally found you!

Shortly after the competition, Natalie returned to China. Because the national team was not established, she could not live in the dormitory of the national team. She can only rent a cabin outside, train in the national team during the day and go back to the cabin to rest at night.

During the national team training, Chang Hao and Natalie played the most chess.

At that time, Chang Hao had a separate dormitory in the national team. At first, Chang Hao often invited Natalie and other teammates to the dormitory to learn chess. However, as the relationship between Chang Hao and Natalie became closer and closer, Chang Hao gradually stopped inviting other teammates and invited Natalie to play chess, eat and walk alone.

At this point, in the eyes of everyone, the two of them are already lovers, only the last layer of enough paper is broken.

At the end of 1996, Chang Hao was lying motionless in bed when he came back, because he lost to Japanese chess player Hiroichi Kobayashi in a game.

Natalie was heartbroken to see him like this. He quickly put a hot towel on his head and sat quietly next to him.

I don't know how long it took, but Chang Hao gradually got out of the shadow of losing the game.

Chang Hao took care of herself when she saw Natalie sitting next to her. He was deeply moved and could no longer restrain his sincere feelings. After struggling for a moment, he immediately decided to pierce the last enough paper. He hugged Natalie and said three words buried in his heart for nearly four years, that is, I love you.

Although Natalie always knew that Chang Hao felt that way about her, because Chang Hao never broke the enough paper, she avoided the question intentionally or unintentionally and deliberately didn't mention it.

With Chang Hao breaking this enough, Natalie knew that she could never avoid the problem again. Although she had already fallen in love with this handsome and versatile little boy, she made up her mind not to be together before the age difference of 8, and she avoided the question intentionally or unintentionally.

Natalie was silent for a long time when Chang Hao said the words "I love you" to her. After repeated struggles in her heart, she still chose to give in to reality and said to Chang Hao, "It is impossible between us. I am so much older than you, and I have always regarded you as my younger brother! "

Hear Natalie refused, Chang Hao excitedly refuted her and said:

Hiroichi Kobayashi, a great Japanese chess player, married his wife who was fourteen years older than him. Although there is a big difference in age, their married life is very loving and happy, which shows that age is not an obstacle to love at all.

Chang Hao's words left Natalie speechless.

At the moment, Natalie neither refuted Chang Hao nor promised Chang Hao, only said to calm down before talking about these issues.

1In the autumn of 997, Chang Hao went abroad to participate in the competition. At this moment, Natalie suddenly found that she had long been accustomed to the existence of Chang Hao and Chang Hao. Now that Chang Hao is gone, she finds that the whole world seems quiet and her life has become disgraceful. She is very depressed and listless in everything she does.

She realized that she had fallen in love with Chang Hao. She lost a game of Go because she was depressed.

After losing the game, and Chang Hao was not around, Natalie's mood became even lower, and she hid in the dormitory and began to cry. Just then, Chang Hao called. On the phone, Chang Hao was caring and attentive to her and said a lot of encouraging words.

After hanging up the phone, deeply moved Natalie thought:

Chang Hao is under various pressures and participates in various competitions. He was tired from playing abroad, but he still didn't forget to call me, care about me and understand me! Is age really a problem? Why can't I accept him?

After figuring this out, Natalie stopped worrying about her age and decided to accept Chang Hao. In this way, when Chang Hao returned home in triumph, they naturally established a love relationship and became a pair of sweet lovers admired by many people.

During the love between Chang Hao and Natalie, maybe it was love that nourished it. Chang Hao was in a surprisingly good state, winning the Robust Cup Go Championship, Tianyuan No.1 Chess Competition and CCTV Cup in succession, and successfully advanced to the ninth stage of Go, reaching the peak of his career.

However, although their love affair brought them sweetness, with the exposure of their love affair, their love affair was opposed by both families and the outside world because of various problems such as age.

First of all, the leaders of the chess institute talked to them and said that they were still young, especially in Chang Hao, which was the golden age of their career. Falling in love too early will bring great negative effects and require them to think carefully.

Secondly, Chang Hao's teacher, Nie Weiping, also strongly opposes their falling in love. Nie Weiping's objection to Chang Hao's falling in love with Natalie is mainly due to their status and age. Nie Weiping and Zhang Xuan are in the same school. Natalie is Chang Hao's grandparents by generation, with a difference of 8 years, so she strongly opposes Chang Hao's dating Natalie.

Finally, the biggest resistance to Chang Hao and Natalie's love comes from their families, especially Chang Hao's family.

1April, 998, when Chang Hao returned to her hometown, Natalie called Chang Hao. Chang Hao is not here. His mother answered the phone.

When Chang Hao's mother learned that the other end of the phone was her son's girlfriend, she told her in a subtle way that she and her son were really inappropriate. Her son only chose to fall in love with her because he thanked her for taking care of her for many years, but gratitude can't replace love, so I hope they can think about whether they are suitable together.

Obstacles from the outside world and family made Natalie want to give up this relationship with Chang Hao several times. She has been wondering whether this relationship can last long.

She always thinks that age is always the biggest obstacle to their feelings. Although they hit it off now, with the passage of time, she is not sure whether her relationship with Chang Hao can go so well and whether she will eventually break up because of her age.

After careful consideration, Natalie decided to leave Changhao.

She felt that long-term pain was better than short-term pain, and it was better to be decisive now than to break up later, so she quietly packed her things and didn't tell anyone where she was going. After finding a place to stay, her mobile phone was not turned on for several days.

When Natalie left him, Chang Hao's spaced out and haggard a lot, completely changed.

Seeing him like this, Natalie could no longer restrain her inner grief and came to Natalie with tears in her eyes.

When Chang Hao saw Natalie, he ignored everything and held her hand tightly, as if afraid of losing it as soon as he let go. He wailed, "Don't leave me, don't leave me!"

Looking at Chang Hao's sad appearance, Natalie finally made up her mind that no matter what obstacles she encountered in the future, she would never be separated again.

1999 February 12, the couple finally broke through many obstacles and came together.

Many people don't understand why Chang Hao is so infatuated with Natalie. A passage from Chang Hao may explain all this:

"Natalie is very considerate! In the winning and losing world of Go, the competition is very fierce. It can be summarized by the word "cruelty", which others can't understand and comprehend.

I love Weiqi very much ... In the world of Weiqi, you won the game, and many people surrounded you, bearing people's attention and cheers, but you lost the game, and you may be the only one who tasted it.

And Natalie has been with me, understanding me, comforting me, and enduring a painful time of losing chess with me. She not only supports me mentally, but also takes care of me in life.

Sometimes when I lose chess, I feel exhausted and don't want to move in bed. At this time, Natalie will help me solve the problem ... "

In Chang Hao's eyes, Natalie is everything to him. She accompanied Chang Hao through one bumpy ride after another. When she lost chess, she comforted her, accompanied him to bear the pressure from all sides, and gave him great encouragement so that he could go on. It can be said that Natalie contributed a lot to Chang Hao's success in Weiqi.

In life, Natalie also gave Chang Hao meticulous care. Whether she is happy or sad, she will be with Chang Hao. Isn't that what marriage is all about? Tired someone to accompany, happy someone to share, sad someone to tell.

With such a good wife, what can a husband ask for? If I were you, I would like to grow old with such a good wife, so I am not afraid of other people's eyes.

Chang Hao has a crush on Natalie, and Natalie loves Chang Hao deeply.

"Chang Hao can think of others. Although I am older than him, he is very mature, and people of the same age are not as mature as him. I won't talk about his chess skills. He often goes out to play games. I wish I could spend more time with him. If there is a contradiction, I will make sacrifices. If I have time, I want to go shopping and travel with him. This is my greatest satisfaction. " Zhang Wei said.

After the marriage, Natalie followed Chang Hao wherever he went, played games with him, faced the pressure brought by the game together, took good care of his daily life, and tried her best to relieve his pressure so that Chang Hao could concentrate on the game. It can be said that Chang Hao can achieve so many proud achievements, not only because of his superb chess skills, but also because of Natalie's careful care.

In the process of playing with Chang Hao, because Natalie is also a master of eight stages of Go, the TV station that broadcasted the Go game at that time often invited her to be the commentator of the live game.

Natalie comes from a professional background and is quite funny, so her explanation is very popular with chess fans.

Maybe it's because beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Natalie always wins and loses by herself when explaining the games of other Go players, and she speaks clearly. He also gave a wonderful explanation of the chess skills of both sides.

But whenever it comes to explaining the game between Chang Hao and other Go players, Natalie seems to be a different person, as if she had changed from a master to a rookie, or she forgot her identity as a commentator and only cared about Chang Hao's "number", completely ignoring that she was still explaining the game on the spot; Either you are too confident in Chang Hao's chess skills, and Chang Hao's backwardness is often obvious to all. However, Natalie always believed Chang Hao mindlessly in the process of explanation, and made many jokes.

On one occasion, when Natalie and Nie Weiping were explaining the match between Ma and Chang Hao, they saw on TV that the whole process of playing chess was quite abnormal. They don't have the usual leisure energy of talking and laughing at all, and always focus on their husband Chang Hao.

Because Pan Fu is eager to win, whenever Nie Weiping says that Chang Hao is backward or may be backward, Natalie can't help arguing with Nie Weiping, regardless of the fact that it is broadcast live. She is a commentator, not Chang Hao's wife, and she is preoccupied with her husband.

At that time, Nie Weiping was very funny when he saw Natalie like this, so he played a friendly joke on her during the explanation of the competition, which made Natalie blush several times.

Natalie was too worried that Chang Hao would lose during the explanation. At one time, even the number of people on both sides was unclear. At this time, Nie Weiping deliberately joking with her, remind ambiguous Natalie said:

"What black (Chang Hao) is better, so ambiguous. To what extent is black chess good, and to what extent, it must be explained to the audience. " Natalie blushed instantly after hearing this and bowed her head shyly.

At the end of the game, Natalie played another ridiculous joke when Chang Hao's victory was decided.

Seeing that Chang Hao won, Natalie, excited, mistakenly thought that referee Bai Zi was counting sunspots. Chang Hao was holding the sunspot, so Natalie mistakenly thought that Chang Hao had lost. Natalie, eager to win, jumped up and said loudly, "No, no, it seems that Chang Hao lost."

Some people at the scene burst into laughter, and Nie Weiping even laughed: "I knew you would be rude."

Because Natalie often slips of the tongue and makes many jokes when explaining Chang Hao's games, she never explained the games related to Chang Hao again.

Of course, Natalie's explanation of Chang Hao's gaffes seems funny, but it doesn't mean that Zhang Xuan really loves Chang Hao!

Today, their marriage is still very happy. Although we had quarreled, most of them quarreled while playing chess. In daily life, they always understand each other, and it is not easy for them to understand each other.

Occasionally, dull Chang Hao will do some romantic things. She will send roses on Valentine's Day and bring some carefully selected gifts to Zhang Xuan when she comes back from abroad, which makes Natalie very moved.

Their marriage was also supported by their parents, relatives and friends. Chang Hao's mother, who once opposed their marriage, was very happy to see her son get married. She also accepted Natalie, and now she is very kind to Natalie and regards her as her own daughter.

In the second year after marriage, they gave birth to a daughter, which can be said to be a family happiness, which is really enviable.

On 20 17 12, Chang Hao became the vice chairman of China weiqi association, and his career began to focus on the management of China weiqi association and the promotion of weiqi, so he seldom played chess.

Natalie seldom plays chess again, but what she does most now is to accompany her husband Chang Hao to attend various Go activities.

The 20021China Weiqi League came to a successful conclusion. Chang Hao and Natalie participated in the finals of the 14th National Games and the opening of the 5th "Luoyang Baiyun Mountain Cup" China Weiqi Jihad quarter-finals.

When attending activities, Chang Hao and Natalie are always inseparable, and each has the shadow of the other. As long as they see each other, they always have a happy smile on their faces, which shows that they really love each other.

From the happy marriage between Chang Hao and Natalie, we can see that age has never been an obstacle to marriage. Happiness in marriage depends not on who is young and who is mature, but on mutual love and understanding. Marriage will be happy if there is love in the heart.
