Features: In 1983, when several invention ideas were approaching maturity, the author began to ponder: Why does a country with millennia of history and the Four Great Inventions lag behind today? Insufficient cultivation of thinking abilities and lack of training in judgment and analytical skills have long been limitations caused by traditional education. "Professional knowledge should have depth, social knowledge should have breadth, and thinking should have thickness—these three are proportional to each other. This is the three-dimensional talent required in the new century!" For this reason, he began to prefer the study of Chinese Gomoku and dedicated himself to its popularization. In 1987, he volunteered to teach Gomoku in primary and secondary schools. In February 1988, with the support of relevant departments, the "Yunnan Gomoku Research Association" was officially established, with Wang Zhixin appointed as president. In August 1989, through the unremitting efforts of Wang Zhixin, the first Gomoku tournament was successfully held! To date, including inter-provincial competitions, Wang Zhixin has successfully organized over 20 various tournaments. Chinese Gomoku, as a "short, flat, and fast" thinking training tool, is increasingly gaining attention from the knowledgeable. It is believed that the publication of this book will play a positive role in promoting the popularization of Chinese Gomoku and in the thinking training of the youth.
