1986 In the summer, the second China-Japan Go Competition was held in Xiamen. At that time, two players from Japan were yoda norimoto and Shuzo Awaji Jiu Duan. Due to the hot weather, Awaji suggested to Yitian to go swimming in the hotel swimming pool. Yitian said: "I can't do it at all. How can I get there? " Tan Lu proudly said: "I am the champion of college swimming competition." What are you afraid of with me? " In the swimming pool, Asakusa taught Tian the basic swimming skills, and then let him practice in shallow water. On the way to the toilet, Yitian paddled in the water with his eyes closed because the direction was crooked. When Yitian wanted to stand up, he had no feet on the ground. Yitian was so scared that he threw himself on the ground and drank a lot of water.
When Dawu came back from the toilet, he saw that Yitian had been fluttering in the deep water area. He quickly dived to save Yitian. Awaji later told a Japanese reporter: "I am really a little scared about this. If I come out three or five minutes late in the toilet, Yitian's life will be gone. " From then on, Yitian never dared to go to the swimming pool again. Eton and Li Changgao played 12, and Eton won 8-4. A reporter once asked Li Changgao who he was most afraid of. Li Changgao immediately said "yoda norimoto".
1At the end of 998, the opening ceremony of the first Chunlan Cup Competition was held in Beijing. The first draw was Yitian versus Li Changgao. At that time, a female reporter from a Beijing radio station only knew that Li Changgao was the world's number one chess player, but she didn't know the name of Yitian. So when interviewing Yitian, she asked, "Tomorrow you will play against Li Changgao, the world's number one player. What do you think? " Yi Tian immediately replied, "You should ask Li Changgao at once. How did he feel in the first round of relying on heaven? "
