On Nov.18, the Fourth National Minds Sports Games concluded in Quzhou, Zhejiang.

In October, Pan won the silver medal at the 2019 World Draughts Championship (WDC). Pan’s performance is the best record ever for a Chinese draughts player.

For Pan, the highlight was the matches against four international grandmasters for three consecutive days, 【小题6】 he called a “devil competition”. Pan survived the tournament and finished in second place 【小题7】 an undefeated record. He admitted that he didn’t put much thought into 【小题8】(win)games.

To catch his 【小题9】(opponent)moves, Pan had to stay calm and make the right decisions. “The key 【小题10】 winning is not giving up. Keep thinking and fighting until you get there,” Pan said. After the October win at the WDC, Pan, a grandmaster himself, is No.9 in the international rankings.

Before the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games, visually- impaired (视力受损的) Chinese runner Liu Cuiqing put a lot of pressure on 【小题1】(she) to do well. Finally, she won two gold medals with the help of her sighted guide Xu Donglin.

In 2010, she joined the national athletics team 【小题2】 was made up of disabled people. She has had to experience countless challenges. “As a blind person, I learn things 【小题3】(slowly) than other people do,” she said.

Sports competitions for disabled 【小题4】 (athlete) require blind runners to be assisted by a guide. Liu met Xu in 2013 and since then, the two 【小题5】(train) hard together, linked by a thin rope.

“To other people, this may just be 【小题6】 ordinary rope, but for us, it is the eye, the direction and trust. We depend 【小题7】 the rope to feel the turns and the distance between us. Only when she trusted me 【小题8】 (complete) was she able to run boldly,” Xu tolo CCTV.

At the 2016 Paralympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, after 【小题9】(cross) the finish line, Xu fell heavily because of a pain in his right knee.

The game of Go is an important board game with origins in China from more than 4,000 years ago. In China, Go 【小题1】(recognize) as “hand conversations” as well, through which players communicate with each other. 【小题2】   other words, they “talk” through the placing of pieces on the board. The metaphor (比喻) first 【小题3】(use) by Zhi Daolin, a Buddhist master of the Jin Dynasty, reflects the nature of the game. While scholars of his time often lost     【小题4】(they) in philosophical (哲学的) debates on life and universe, he preferred to play Go【小题5】 he believed was full of hows and whys of life.

Master Go players often feel as if they were playing a real-life game: sometimes one can move forward, while at other times, one must slow down; sometimes one can 【小题6】(direct) face the challenger, at other times one must take 【小题7】indirect approach. Appropriate placement of each tiny Go piece is similar to 【小题8】one might solve a difficult problem of life. The purpose of playing Go is not just to win but also, more importantly, to seek 【小题9】(wise) through the process. The players unite each other on the board. Instead of fighting as 【小题10】(enemy), they cooperate to play a good game. One thoughtless move could ruin the enjoyment.
