At 1960, I was pleasantly surprised to find that there was an obscure chess teahouse in an alley on the northeast side of zhushikou Cross Street. Chess friends and people who come here for tea call it a street teahouse. Middle-aged and elderly people carry cages to drive away birds, and drinking tea and chatting are also very pleasant. There are several chess masters in Beijing. Sun Dengkui, an old chess player who is nearly sixty years old, is called Lao Huangzhong (I remember my teacher Mr. Xie returned to Beijing from Shanghai in his early years, and Sun Dengkui was invited to open a natural chess teahouse in Beijing). Often come here to play chess is Zang Ruyi, Zhu Xuezeng, Zhao Liancheng and other chess colleagues. At that time, I was studying in a technical secondary school in Beijing Agricultural Machinery Factory, a few hundred meters away from Beijing Bearing Factory where Zhu Xuezeng worked. After work, everyone came to the teahouse to get together. I also asked Zhu Xuezeng. Zhu Xue once played chess with me seriously, which made me gain a lot. At that time, Zang Ruyi and Zhao Liancheng were rivals. Zang let Chang Xian play against Zhao and won the lottery. The overall result is that Zang Ruyi wins more and loses less. I also watched their games, from which I gained more. This period of time is probably a little over two years. Playing chess here, I met Niu Huaze, a famous Chinese doctor in Beijing. Niu Lao is not only proficient in various disciplines of Chinese medicine, but also a master of acupuncture therapy. He is the teacher of He Puren, a master of acupuncture in Beijing, and Bao's brothers, an old Chinese doctor. Niu Lao takes caged birds, drinks tea and occasionally watches chess every afternoon, but he is also very happy. Last year, I went to the city hospital of traditional Chinese medicine for acupuncture treatment because of illness. The expert who received the treatment was Cheng, who was a disciple of He Pu and the director of acupuncture department. Being friends with chess has benefited me a lot in my life and I will never forget it.

Director Li loves playing chess.

Many people in the chess world know that director Li is obsessed with good chess. Director Li's full name is exactly the same as the national chess champion in Hubei Province. Director Li is the director of Beijing Gear Factory in Chaoyang District, Beijing. In fact, in the early 1960s, when I was a secondary school student in Beijing Agricultural Machinery Factory (now called Internal Combustion Engine General Factory), I knew about Beijing Gear Factory, because the north and the north farmers were only separated by more than ten meters. Unfortunately, I didn't know Director Li at that time. Until the second half of 1962, my old friend took me to visit factory director Li's house outside Chaoyangmen, and factory director Li warmly received me. Xu teacher and Director Li are old friends and old chess friends. Two and a half hundred people play chess, and the words of both sides are humorous, humorous and enjoyable. Then xu teacher asked me to play chess with Director Li. Both sides won and lost, and finally I ended the first confrontation with a small victory. Director Li encouraged me after the game and welcomed me to play chess often in the future. Director Li has a strong body, a broad forehead and a charitable face, which left a deep impression on people. Director Li was the only leading cadre among chess lovers at that time, which was equivalent to the bureau level. Later, I saw Director Li playing chess at Chaoyangmen's chess friend Geng Hongbin's home. In a word, Director Li is a respected and approachable chess player. Geng Hongbin and Zhu and I went to the factory director Li's house to play chess with friends and had a good time. /kloc-in the autumn of 0/962, I resigned from Lugouqiao Farm in Fengtai District and returned to Beijing. Accompanied by Geng and Zhu, I asked Director Li if he could arrange the work. According to the situation at that time, I first went to work in a base in Li Rang factory, and I will become a regular employee on standby. Later, I left for various reasons. After returning to China, I worked as a temporary worker in the housing management department to make a living. In addition, that time was a difficult time for me to make a breakthrough in chess. It happened that under such difficult circumstances, I finally defeated my brothers Liu, Zhu Xuezeng, Zang Ruyi, Song Jingdai, Yang Changsheng and other masters in the second chess level competition in Beijing six months later, won the championship and became famous in World War I, which opened a brand-new page in my chess career. Later, I met factory director Li at a party, and he encouraged me to continue to work hard and win glory for the capital. It was not until many years later that I visited the factory director Li's house. At that time, I saw that Director Li and Mr. Li got along very well.

Create an elephant car at Lugouqiao Farm.

1962 During April and May, it was in the late stage of a three-year difficult period. I graduated from the technical school of Beijing Agricultural Machinery Factory, and I could have worked directly in the factory. No, just in time for the Beijing Municipal Committee to implement the national policy of "adjustment, rectification, enrichment and improvement", several students and I were assigned to work in Lugouqiao Farm. My specific task is to learn garden management such as leveling, weeding and pruning in the farm Taoyuan.

At that time, I could rest on the farm twice a month. Lugouqiao Farm was far from home and the traffic was very inconvenient. Every time I walk from the farm to the bus stop, I always squeeze the bus into the city and walk home. Half a day has passed, and half a round of vacation has passed. After the holiday, I will go back to the farm by car alone under dim street lights and hazy moonlight. This period of time is the first time for me to experience the hardships of taking part in the work. During this period, in addition to farming, I often got up before dawn, quietly walked out of the farm's residence, trained alone in the Chuhe Han boundary, and learned about the chess layout by moonlight. Under this condition, my understanding of chess has reached an unprecedented height, especially during this period, I created a brand-new idea, the backhand wind curtain horse as a car against the China artillery river patrol gun. Interestingly, my elephant car was created in the 1962 national individual competition half a year later, and was first verified by Hu Ronghua with hanford's Zhongpao River patrol gun, and achieved excellent results. Since then, the appearance of elephant car has attracted the attention of the chess world and the majority of players, and has become a popular layout routine. Even today, the elephant car is still a creative idea. The original idea of a 17-year-old young chess player is a very rare pioneering work, and the history of chess has also witnessed that the attempt of elephant car is a contribution to the development of chess layout.
