Zhang, a student of Korean chess institute, was forced to walk out of the ivory tower of Go after failing to set up a good stage. He only has a high school education and knows nothing but Go. But through hard work, he survived tenaciously in the world's top 500 trading companies.
The TV series "Unborn" tells the story of Zhang, the hero of Korean chess institute, who grew up as an intern in a trading company. Zhang Gelei has just entered the company and can't even use the copier. How did he persist in the fierce environment where high fliers could hardly survive? This is also the attraction of this drama. What is certain is that Zhang Gelei's college life experience has helped him pass every test. However, people are also curious about this: can people who only learn Go all their lives really do it? Or simply conclude that this is just the setting of the plot.
The answer I gave based on my own Go experience is that people who learn Go can still do it. Zhang Gelei's harsh college life (the stage can't be determined, and the skill and technology of Go may be useless, but technology is not the whole of competitiveness) has become his driving force to overcome various crises.
Zhang didn't just learn the technology of Go.
The academic report "Conceptual Model of Structured Psychological Quality of Go Players" written by the author according to his doctoral thesis (co-authored with Kim Byung-joon, Korean Journal of Sports Psychology No.4, 20 13) also talked about this point. This academic research aims to analyze the strong psychological quality of excellent Go players and draw the following conclusions.
First, the strong psychological quality closely related to the competitive ability of Go is reflected in four aspects: willpower, concentration, self-confidence and normality.
Secondly, among them, willpower is cultivated in the process of preparing for career setting, and the way is professional training with great resilience and endurance. Concentration is cultivated through hard study and rich game experience. Self-confidence is formed in the process of trying to maintain successful experience and prepare for it. Normal mind is cultivated in the state management before the game and the self-adjustment during the game.
Thirdly, the strong psychological quality of Go players has brought the following positive effects. First of all, a strong psychological quality can enable chess players to live an efficient and self-disciplined life centered on Go. Second, players can block negative factors and adjust their best psychological state before the game. Third, you can adjust your psychology and emotions while playing games, and find the best means in the emerging stage. After the game, no matter which side wins, the players can make a rational and constructive analysis.
Fourthly, observing the conceptual model of strong psychological quality with grounded theory, the strong psychological quality of excellent Go players has clear quality conditions with clear goals and motives, and the society has always held a positive attitude towards it, which then acts on self-management, and finally shows itself as a normal state in competitions (competitions) and daily life.
The society's understanding of Go should be said to be generally friendly. People who don't know Weiqi, if they know someone who can play Weiqi or take Weiqi as a profession, judge that this person is smart or has advanced thinking ability before the dialogue. Recently, there has been extensive research on the function (efficiency) of Go in academic circles, but interestingly, people have long recognized (recognized) the effect of Go.
Weiqi contains many branches such as calculation, creativity and problem-solving ability. The next game of chess must first have a certain knowledge reserve and cognitive ability to interpret the situation, and then correctly choose the technology to solve the problem. At the same time, according to the opponent and the content of the game, we should change our thinking and adjust the competitive rhythm in time. Therefore, learning Weiqi can also learn a lot of knowledge that life needs to master.
Many Korean mothers who are keen on "early childhood education" choose Go. They think that their children's academic performance has been improved because of Go. There are two opinions here, one is that the academic performance of Go has improved, and the other is that the academic performance has been good, and it is no problem to play Go. But no matter what kind of opinion, it is a positive attitude towards Go.
At present, there are generally two ways to learn Go in Dojo when I was a child. First of all, as a professional chess player, this is a successful activity. Second, it has stepped into other areas of society like Zhang. If it is the latter, most of them end up in junior high school or high school. Surprisingly, they are basically not backward in their studies and have achieved satisfactory results in entering the society. Their knowledge is that learning Go at an early age is a preparatory stage before entering school, not a waste of time. That is, the cultivation of learning Go is by no means useless in life.
Psychological state is a very important variable in the success or failure of Go (so are other sports, especially the intellectual sport of Go). The game mentality of professional chess players is not formed at a certain moment on the spot, but is influenced by daily life attitude and pre-match preparation process. The experience of college students (Dojo life) will have a decisive influence on the formation of professional chess players' game psychology. The degree of college students' attention to the results of internal round robin will determine the degree of their self-effort and restraint.
Professional chess players need to make more efforts and manage themselves more strictly if they want to survive in the winning and losing world. The result of investigating the top professional chess players is that they have different psychological characteristics from others. Chess players who have won professional championships basically have the qualities needed to decide the outcome, such as quick recovery, courage, firm optimism, tenacity, endurance and strong desire to win or lose.
Just as the styles of Go are varied, the players' personalities are also different, but they all have a strong psychological trait, that is, solipsism's stubbornness and tenacity. From small to large, they will stick to what they want to do and have a good attitude. Even if they encounter setbacks and failures (no matter how big or small), they will recover quickly. These characteristics make them persist in the cruel world of victory and defeat for a long time.
Chess players show strong psychological qualities in willpower, concentration, self-confidence and normality. This powerful psychological quality will not only be manifested in various forms at the beginning of learning chess, but also in the process of learning chess. Then the life of Go will be further strengthened. The process of the next chess game will be influenced by something invisible to the naked eye and outside the chess game. Countless processes (usual training, mentality, lifestyle, etc. ) A chess game and a chess page have been thrown before the first chess game falls.
Therefore, in addition to the accumulation of technology, the time invested in Go will also be given a mysterious "X". And this "X" is similar to the effect of Go. However, according to the survey, children who learn Go are better in terms of numerical calculation ability, spatial perception ability and academic concentration when they just transfer to school in the early stage.
Wu Er Duan, a Korean chess institute, entered the stage in 2002 14 years old, which once attracted much attention. But his grades were not ideal, and one day he completely disappeared from the game room. Five years later, he was admitted to Seoul National University, majoring in physics, and once again became a topic of discussion. Wu Duan, a doctor of political science at Seoul National University (newcomer Wang was born) and Nan Zhiheng, an English major at Seoul National University and now a professor of Weiqi at Mingji University, both became monks halfway and achieved success.
What is the mysterious "X" experienced by children who learn chess through Go? Just as Israel does not advocate early childhood education, it lets retired national chess players and others take charge of talent education, so that children can understand the truth of focusing on investment and realize that life is a winning game as soon as possible. However, the rules of everything in the world are actually simple and clear. Educate children to learn the truth of "losing" first. In East Asia, which has accumulated thousands of years of civilization and worldly wisdom, Go should be a better teaching aid for early enlightenment.
PS。 drama review
Yesterday was a small year, and amid the firecrackers outside the window, this "Unborn" also came to the final ending.
Many people recommend this drama on Douban because the workplace life shown in the drama has strong practical significance. Perhaps everyone who has just entered the workplace or is about to enter the workplace is worth seeing. In my opinion, most of us are much luckier than the man in the play. Since Zhang Gelei can persist and become the backbone of the workplace from a layman, there is no reason why we can't do this.
As an airborne soldier who only entered the company through contacts, Zhang Gelei's performance on the first day reflected the state of each newcomer to some extent, which was an inexplicable tension, as if he didn't know anything. As soon as he saw Anyingyi, he directly regarded her as his lifeline and pulled his face down for help, regardless of whether others bothered him or not. I recall that when I went to the first company for an internship in 20 12/month, I asked others for help on the first day, pestering my senior who was only two years older than myself, and he finally got tired of me. Although I have stayed in two companies in the future, I still feel that inexplicable tension on the first day. Fortunately, this tension will gradually disappear with my constant adaptation to the company, and then it will be replaced by a sense of learning pressure. When Zhang Gelei passed the PT exam and changed from an intern to a two-year contract, a hard learning road began. In addition to learning various professional terms and company norms related to work, it is more important to learn to get along with superiors and colleagues. Zhang Gelei's approach at this time is to change with constancy, which is a simple word "forbearance". Through his persistence, he regarded Zhang as an important member of the three business groups, and began to look down on Zhang Baiqi, and was moved by his persistence and changed his view. Interestingly, perhaps because Zhang Gelei is not deeply involved in the world, he dares to make some suggestions that others dare not make on the premise of confirming his correctness, such as Jordan's used car case. At the same time, he also attaches great importance to the friendship with his boss, and doesn't want Wu Kechang to do anything against his personal thoughts because of himself. In the end, all kinds of performances in the past two years have completely won the trust of section chief Wu and become the workplace elite of the new company.
I think Zhang Gelei's greatest luck is to have such a section chief Wu as his boss. The greatest contribution to a person's rapid growth in the workplace often comes from having a good leader. Compared with Zhang Gelai, Han Xilu, Zhang Baiqi and An Yingyi, the same employees, seem to be less lucky. Zhang Baiqi, a regular employee, was even extremely jealous of Zhang Gelei, a contract worker. He felt that he had the strongest ability, and as a result, he did the worst in the same period, which was very troublesome. The three of them also tried to deal with it. Zhang Baiqi thought of resigning, Han Xilu thought of exposing and reporting boss's behavior, and An Yingyi chose the same forbearance as Zhang Gelei. In addition to becoming agents, Agent Jiang and Agent Xia also changed their views because they recognized the achievements of their subordinates. It turns out that most bosses still know people, and everything is easy after the toss.
"We" is a word often mentioned by Zhang Gelei. We run three groups, our company. Obviously, a person can only make a correct and favorable decision if he really thinks about the team and the company, not personal interests, and regards the boss as an obstacle in his own interest chain. And only in a "we" collective, a person can exert his greatest potential and radiate the brightest light. When they left the company, there was no "we" in the three business groups, but when they met again in the small company founded by Minister Jin, "we" came back. From this perspective, it is more important to follow a person or a team than a company.
What is needed here is persistence. Persistence means going through your life no matter what. In chess culture, there is a saying that if you are not born, your life will be over, and you are still just not born.
Perhaps, when Zhang Gelei finally drove Wu Kechang away in the desert, when he could ask Wu Ke what he could sell to himself so that he could stay, he did it all.
"Not born; Has not survived so far. Can I survive? Do you want to save your life or abandon your child? " This is the opening caption of the movie version of Unborn.
Before the age of 26, Zhang Ke came to be a person who was completely on the edge of society. He was obsessed with his own Weiqi world, skirted the ball with the world around him, and separated after a slight touch. He once worked hard for the graduate students of Weiqi, and took numerous part-time jobs at the same time, but he only dabbled in the big dye vat of society and didn't go deep.
At the moment he abandoned Go, he was also abandoned by society. As an "abandoned child" of society, he has no friends, and even sorting out documents is like writing a person's diary. He has no connections and is not qualified. Weiqi's occupation of life deprived him of all the resources that a basic social person should have when he was 26, or it was his own choice, so that he still didn't find a sense of belonging when he was 26.
The feeling of not belonging is terrible. This feeling has been exhausted in the first decade of my life. My parents always take me away from my familiar residence again and again. I want to say goodbye to my friends who can already be called by nicknames, go to a completely strange house and re-establish "friendship" with people around me. In this way, when I moved as a friend, my parents stopped moving, and the friendship I established with this good friend came to an abrupt end.
Zhang Clejan I think more of myself when I first entered the workplace, but at that time. Like an inexperienced newborn, he stared coldly and eagerly at the busy people around him. They reveled in the pub after sunset, and they celebrated the victory and hesitation of a day's work in fierce alcohol. But at night, I was completely isolated from them and their emotions like a virus outside the glass window. My pale and confused face seems to be reunited with an old friend who plays alone. It was a familiar and strange self, but in this reunion.
Zhang Ke once threw a cool inspirational sentence after turning around and fooling his colleagues. I came into this world because I didn't work hard enough. I used to associate it with God, original sin, and "unborn" with real birth. But when I capture the loneliness and helplessness of more and more newborn babies from my face, I think "unborn" means being born from the world of Go after the age of 26 and growing up in the workplace like a newborn until it matures.
Just as section chief Wu and agent Jin have repeatedly questioned Zhang Ke, is it still too late to start at the age of 26? However, in the real world, many people have finished their exams and graduated from society, and they are older than Zhang Kelai before they start their careers. Perhaps the biggest difference between Zhang Ke and them is that they have the same dominant age, but they don't have the same dominant education.
He is a duck, dragging the first person he saw like a duck, begging for help like his mother, and imitating the first person he saw like a duck. He not only fell in love with her at first sight, but also admired her. He is a qualified duck. He quickly learned to look at his eyes and act, master the positions of various departments, and unconditionally carry out all orders from his superiors. Although the middle process was awkward, he learned it after all. The only thing he hasn't learned is how to get along with people.
This involves the essential difference between Zhang Ke as a newcomer in the workplace and others. He not only doesn't know how to get along with people in the workplace, but also doesn't know how to get along with people at all. Beaten by Wu Kechang, he not only lives alone in the world of Weiqi, but also lives independently as an individual in the whole world.
So when An Ying defined him as "MAMABOY", he could only lie awkwardly and say that he was not hungry, but the voice of "goo goo" in his stomach betrayed him to the letter. He is so nervous, not only because he is new to the workplace, but also because he is the woman he loves, but because he is anxious to get along with others, and he even forgets to take off his suit and jacket.
For a person who hasn't grown up in step with the people around him for a long time, even retrograde, it's not just that simple for Zhang Ke to adjust his pace to face a group of people who have been walking in the same direction for many years. In fact, the students at school were originally one of the people who came in the opposite direction with Zhang Ke. It is because of this long-term retrogression that Zhang Kelai's loneliness is so special. He is in the world of work.
However, this guy like a newborn baby didn't really cry like a baby. At the age when my brother jumped up and down, he had quietly arranged documents in front of the computer according to the method of Go. This quiet lifestyle is just like the way he chooses when facing questions from people around him in the company. As a person with a little experience in the workplace, most of the time, the reason for being silent is because you are really not qualified to speak, or you know that arguing may cost you your job and you can only be beaten by a bucket of rice. From Zhang Kelai's point of view, maybe he is trying his best to push himself to death, except that he is not qualified and wants to make a living. Because he didn't work hard enough, he came to this world from the world of Weiqi, so after he came to this world, all the reasons that were questioned were attributed to his not working hard enough, so even if he was fooled, he had to fight to the end in the office wearing a suit full of fishy smell.
He properly used the perseverance and courage of Go to another world, but forgot that Go can have "personal heroism" because it is a game and war for one person. But in the workplace, team fighting is a hidden taboo to "individual heroism". Many times, your talents can only be fully displayed after you have a benign network of relationships with people around you. If you bury yourself in boredom, you may not have a good result.
Wu Kechang hit him at the right time. "You are not alone here." However, he struggled mentally, physically and physically, trying to adapt himself to the direction of most people, but he was still questioned and laughed at because of various external conditions that did not depend on his own will. Others questioned his "parachute" status. However, his identity cannot be changed, and he can only improve his ability.
However, one day, when you thought it was because your ability was recognized, you suffered a greater blow. It turns out that you are still a bomb, and others are willing to sacrifice you to set off their greatness and stand out in a sacrificial way. You are still a cushion, and you are still a fool who knows nothing.
Zhang Kelai should be the kind of person with strong natural emotional management ability. This should be based on the fact that he has been playing with documents silently in the computer since he was a child. Besides, Go needs a kind of talent, a kind of quiet talent, which is not acquired, but innate. He accepted everything in the company silently, partly because of this factor in his personality. However, such a resigned person actually challenged his immediate boss in the elevator of the company. "Why don't you give me a chance? You left me alone. " This blow really made the boss who didn't assign any tasks to Zhang Ke because he was afraid of being sent to monitor himself, and his heart was weak and he couldn't answer.
But the moment Zhang Ke came to say this, he immediately regretted it and attacked his boss in the workplace, unless you were about to fire him and race with the bulls. Otherwise, you are taking the wrong medicine and dying. Zhang Ke didn't know the world since he came. He knew exactly what he had done to die. However, his behavior of hitting the elevator with his head should be more of a kind of self-reflection. He is more worried about what the boss will do to himself, but why he didn't control his emotions well and find the reason from himself. Go is a game, you must be good at finding shortcomings from yourself, but you must find advantages from the other side. At this time, Zhang Kelai's "Go Character" was highlighted again, which led to his different emphasis from others when facing the same thing.
In a seemingly "nothing" company, for others, it is just a job, but for Zhang Ke, it is undoubtedly like another military career. Even how to paste the glue and how to use the copier have become basic problems in life. The rooftop became his "secret base", a place for others to catch their breath at work, but it was a shameful place for him to roar like a cedar and be punished by corporal punishment.
In the real world, the workplace may not be as dazzling or inspiring as first class. It is more cruel, or more complicated. What is complicated is not the work itself, but the seemingly chaotic group formed by its branches. In fact, it takes a long time to find the law and learn to be self-sufficient. Just like all the professionals depicted in this drama, some interns are always pointing at others, trying to set traps for others, but they can't suffer at all. Among a group of men, there are self-reliant women like An Yingyi, such as Zhang Baiqi. They are "top students", groping around and wondering what kind of abacus they are secretly playing. There are also seemingly honest swindlers who say that they are newly married.
Everyone is not a villain, but they all have their own ideas and secrets. The relationship between everyone is subtle and tense. Only when they get home can they completely tear off that more or less disguise and just live freely as someone's daughter, someone's father and someone's son.
I once saw a man deliver a courier from his balcony in the pouring rain, but he was reprimanded by his host for getting a little wet 1 hour. When I returned to the balcony again, I saw him dragging his tired back and slowly leaving. I thought at that time, I don't know if this blow will make him lose his enthusiasm for sending express delivery in the future. If the courier company is also regarded as a workplace, the temporary trade union like him will not move to the next "temporary worker" faster and lose interest in the work, but just regard it as a tool for life. And an old friend of mine rented a house in a different place and found a job. At first, he called me every day and told me about the hardships of work and life. 1 year later, the number of phone calls became less and less, and he didn't collapse at first, but he didn't hear from again. Maybe she has found a way to deal with herself, or maybe she has someone else to talk to and doesn't need me anymore.
However, one day, after all this, you may find that, like Zhang Kelai, you have come from the foggy world to the fireworks world that you can't integrate through the glass. You have become one of them. Your drunken boss is walking on the way home that you once walked alone, surrounded by real fireworks. He calls you "our child".
As a 26-year-old Aidou, he still has a gentler and more delicate face than his actual age, and Imm Vance's face is very suitable for revealing a childlike expression. The expression of injustice, confusion, stubbornness and naivety that is out of tune with his surroundings is still suitable for a 26-year-old young man like him. If the beginning of this drama only tells the story of an ordinary 26-year-old newcomer to the workplace, Yim Vance may not be the only one who fits in with it, but it tells the story of a friend who didn't land in the workplace like a newborn baby. This 26-year-old Aidou is suitable for a childlike look, and is undoubtedly a highly fit candidate, so you won't doubt that he is at a loss when he gently tugs at An Yingying's skirt. An Yingying has tied her tie, but she can't even look at her in the elevator, even wearing an expensive new suit bought by her mother.
He is like such a child, a child who has been cleverly immersed in another world and lived quietly for 26 years.
"unborn" may be regarded as a chess piece that may be abandoned on the chessboard, or as a child who has been isolated and abandoned by society for a long time. The long-abandoned child finally heard Wu Kechang's words "our child", just like a baby who found his mother. The call of this "child" is like his mother's name echoing over the house to urge him to eat, and he found his place in this home called "society".
However, the world of Weiqi, which seems to be getting farther and farther away from itself, has shown a kind smile to itself not far away. It helps Zhang Kelai, who is not good at dealing with people, to establish interesting ways to deal with foreign customers without having to talk or feel too long waiting. It helps Zhang Ke to form a calm and cautious "Go Character" that can wander freely in his own spiritual world, or this "Go Character" itself is the most essential part of Zhang Ke's character. When he abandoned the world of Weiqi, Weiqi became a bridge between him and the workplace world where he is now. He created such a world more than others. He hides his strength in such a world and will surely shine in another world. And when his "social character" is gradually polished to maturity, he may know better how to win more skillfully in interpersonal communication, and may know better how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, so that the light will be more dazzling after taking a detour. "Weiqi character" made him born, and "social character" made him enter WTO. When these two personalities intersect to the last perfect point, Zhang Ke may be formed at the beginning of the first game.
Brave as a general, calm as a wise man.
In fact, at the end of this competition, Zhang Kelai has faded the anxiety of newborn babies and sent an invitation to be a PPT to the wonderful long-haired curly man, revealing a confident smile in the adult world.
More importantly, from the moment he kept repeating Wu Kechang's words "Our Children" in his mind, he was no longer lonely.
