Chessman: Why does the principal say that "losing is winning"? In the end, it is the wisdom of life, or the pass of the philistine

After the suspense drama "Chess Warrior" was launched, many classic lines appeared in the play, which not only incorporated the philosophy of Go, but also deeply reflected the sophistication and social rules of real life, which resonated with the audience.

When Cui Ye and his son Cui Yangao reviewed the game between themselves and Wang Hongyu, he said something like this about Wang Hongyu: This person is very greedy and is not willing to give up even one; As soon as someone sells him, he will bite the hook.

Chess is character, I have to say that Cui Ye's insight into Wang Hongyu is very profound.

In addition to the above paragraph, the most classic line in "Chess Warrior" is the sentence said by Cui Ye's principal Zhang Yingjie:Teacher Cui, if you can lose chess, if you lose, you win!

The following facts did indeed confirm the words of the principal.

In order to raise money for his son's treatment, Cui Ye went to play a game of chess with Wang Hongyu against his will, and deliberately lost to Wang Hongyu, Wang Hongyu was very happy and ordered his secretary Gao Shuhua (she is Cui Ye's wife, so ironic) to transfer the "tuition" to Mr. Cui.

输了一局棋,就得到了1万块的授课费,这看起来很划算呢!

1万块,对于月工资只有1200(最近还又降到了1000块),存折余额只有1825元的崔业来说,简直就是一笔巨款。

If he can give so much every time, then Cui Ye will accompany the big bosses to play chess and lose every game, and the income will be very considerable.

What is the cost of treatment for the son, and what wife Gao Shuhua is not satisfied with, there will be no problem.

However, Cui Ye looks like a coward on the surface, but he dares to adhere to the principles of his own chess.

If it weren't for the purpose of raising money for his son's surgery, he would not have made compromises and violated his own chess principles to cater to Wang Hongyu.

Later, Cui Ye met Dong Binghui, the Go idol he admired in the past, and Dong Binghui at this time had already stopped engaging in the Go career, but changed to business.

董炳辉要求崔业在下棋时输给自己,承诺给他5万块。

However, Cui Ye has always been obsessed with losing to Dong Binghui that year, and he is obsessed with winning Dong Binghui once, so when playing chess, he still chose to go all out.

At this time, Dong Binghui had already abandoned his Go skills, and he was naturally inferior to Cui Ye.

In fact, the reason why Dong Binghui won Cui Ye back then was not because of his high chess skills, but because he gave the teacher a packet of sugar, and the teacher quietly gave him a trick.

Here is a small question for you to think about: Dong Binghui obviously gave the teacher a pack of sugar, why is the title of the third episode "Two Packs of Sugar"? What does another packet of sugar mean?

董炳辉因为利益分成的事,要和王红羽通过下棋来决定是六四分还是四六分,所以董炳辉用双倍价钱甚至是5万元来要求崔业输棋。

But Cui Ye refused, and he won Dong Binghui.

For this reason, Dong Binghui taught Cui Ye another lesson seriously. said that he only knew how to play chess, but he didn't understand human feelings.

When the principal Zhang Yingjie instilled in Cui Ye that "losing is winning", his purpose was to use Cui Ye to lose chess to win Wang Hongyu's favor and let Wang Hongyu continue to support his school.

In terms of human sophistication, Zhang Yingjie is indeed much more sophisticated than Cui Ye.

However, losing is winning, is it the great wisdom of life, or the self-comfort and self-excuse of the philistine?

For Cui Ye, who likes to play Go, Go is Go, losing is losing, winning is winning, clear and simple.

But for people like Zhang Yingjie, Wang Hongyu, and Dong Binghui, Go is just a tool, just a means to assist them in success or in exchange for benefits.

They only have interests in their eyes, and for the sake of interests, they can have no principles, no bottom line, and can sell and exchange anything.

However, when their conscience, principles and bottom lines are replaced by interests, they lose the most important thing in life, they look beautiful on the surface, but life becomes a soulless shell, nothing more than a walking corpse.

Go is full of dialectics, losing and winning, giving and taking, always running through the game, chess players face the chessboard in front of them, always have to think about winning or losing and giving up.

Losing is giving, winning is gaining.

Back then, in the Go competition, Dong Binghui exchanged a bag of sugar for his own victory. The teacher betrayed the fairness of the game for a bag of sugar, is it really meaningful to win and win like this?

The dilemma of winning or losing and being willing to give up runs not only through Go, but also throughout life.

How to choose, the ancient scholar Mencius has already given the answer:

鱼,我所欲也;熊掌,亦我所欲也。 二者不可得兼,舍鱼而取熊掌者也。 生,亦我所欲也;义,亦我所欲也。 二者不可得兼,舍生而取义者也。

According to Mencius's understanding, dignity, bottom line, conscience, and principles are the most important beings in life and cannot be exchanged.

Once a person is consumed by materialistic desires and exchanges the preciousness of life for benefits, he is no longer his master. If the soul is lost, the good things in life will also be gone.

Therefore, Zhang Yingjie and Dong Binghui's so-called argument that "losing is winning" is not a great wisdom in life at all, but a pass for philistines, and a self-comfort and excuse for philistines.

Cui Ye won the game, he didn't get a single point in the bonus, and even the trophy was copied by Zhang Yingjie, when Zhang Yingjie was ashamed to instill crooked reasoning in front of Cui Ye, it is estimated that no audience will give him the least respect.

Cui Ye is facing the choice of "righteousness and profit", and his wife Gao Shuhua is also experiencing it.

If she can't withstand the pressure and temptation of Wang Hongyu, and gives up her true love for the sake of the so-called beautiful future, what she loses is not only love and marriage, but also more likely to face Wang Hongyu's shameless possession and betrayal.

In life, there are always some things that are more important than interests, and these precious things give life a beautiful life.

"Chess Warrior" is indeed a rare good drama, which is worth slowing down and watching quietly and savoring carefully.
