The novel is called "Chess King", and the author really tells a story of "Chess King" with a clever pen, which is very interesting and you can't help reading it. However, the novel is unique among the works with the life of educated youth as the theme, because the writer's purpose is not only to "convey chess by writing", but to "write people by chess"; Moreover, the story of a little person who is quite different from the cultural spirit of the "unprecedented" era shows the existence and appearance of real life and real life in the historical perspective of the distance formed in that era. Wang Yisheng is an ordinary person living at the bottom of society. His life situation can be summarized by the word "poor". The per capita living expenses of the whole family are less than 10 yuan. In order to save his family, he even canceled school activities such as going to the park and watching movies. Either because of life circumstances or because of personality characteristics, Wang Yisheng fell in love with chess and his youth life was radiant. No poverty, no external interference or disqualification can sever the relationship between Wang Yisheng and chess, even in an unprecedented era. Here, what the author tries to illustrate through characters is not the relationship between man and chess, but an ordinary and realistic attitude towards life. When readers read that Wang Yisheng mistakenly tore up a rebel poster because of his "stupidity", which caused an uproar and was taken away by the opposing factions as the focus of "struggle", they couldn't help laughing at once. At that moment, what he contained was the rich content of the times inspired by the images in his works, and it was a mockery of the whole deformed era. The uniqueness of Acheng's aesthetic perspective lies in that when he reflected on that era, he was not immersed in it, but detached from the image and examined life. Therefore, we can see the absurdity of his relationship with history and real life from the cultural phenomena such as "rebellion", "crusade", "opposition" and "big-character poster war" that can be seen everywhere at that time. This is a subtle manifestation of the contradiction between Wang Yisheng, an ordinary little person, and the consciousness of "dominating" the times. Under the bright background, it reveals the solid and irreversible process of history and life under the distorted cultural surface of that era. Wang Yisheng's love for chess and chess, his modest and eager to learn, straightforward and resolute chess products-his cautious personality show his persistent enthusiasm for life, but as a "person", "loving life" is not empty talk, and "life" is not maintained and continued by empty spiritual slogans. Wang Yisheng's feelings and views on "eating", including his eating attitude, are discussed in his works. If people's spiritual needs often represent the so-called "elegance" side of people, while the material needs of food, clothing, housing and transportation are more regarded as "vulgarity", then this work completes the image-building of a real person in the natural unity of "elegance" and "vulgarity". However, the description of the characters in the works does not stop at the social level, but shows efforts to transcend reality, individual existence and grasp the world life as a whole. The writer's understanding of China's classical philosophy, Taoism and Zen spirit is imperceptibly permeated in the characterization. In Wang Yisheng's chess learning experience, it goes without saying that the advice of the old man who picked up rotten paper is of decisive significance. His understanding of "qi" and "potential" made Wang Yisheng's chess skills better and better, and finally he was the winner. And Wang Yisheng's life path and personality, which was not depressed and persistent in poverty, adversity and predicament, didn't have the philosophical significance of governing by doing nothing in that abnormal era?
