Quietly around, Beihai is still asleep.

　　It is written in the beginning in writer Si Yu's landscape essay "Morning in the North Sea".

　　For most bystanders, the North Sea will still wake up from the sound of sleep every morning as usual, but in the world of many Go fans, "the morning of the North Sea" has become overnight An old friend who is hard to see again.

Shanghai Weiqi Association issues an obituary

　　On the evening of the 2nd, the Shanghai Weiqi Association issued an obituary saying that at one o'clock in the afternoon on July 2, 2020, the famous Weiqi professional chess player Fan Yunruo unfortunately fell from his home and died.

　　In the 18th Nongshim Cup World Go Team Championship in 2017, it was Fan Yunruo's "powerful" South Korean leader Park Ting-hwan who won the sixth Nongshim Cup championship for China.

　　He, who once led Shanghai Weiqi back to Weijia as the master, has become a new banner for Shanghai Weiqi. Today, all the spirits have been sealed forever into the age of 24.

　　Fan Yunruo's name, which he used on a domestic Go game platform during his lifetime, is called Beihai Morning.

Fan Yunruo has always used the name "Morning of the North Sea" as his name on the domestic network Go platform.

　　Platform battle records show that "Morning in the North Sea", which is Fan Yunruo, played 9 games on the platform on the evening of the 30th. Four of them played against his friend Ke Jie. In the four games, he won one game and lost three games, and each game was more than ten minutes.

　　Now that I think about it, it seems that everything had already shown signs at that time. According to media reports, Fan Yunruo, who was not in good spirits, had not been able to fall asleep for five days and five nights before his death, but at that time not many people knew about it.

　　On July 2, the early morning of the day he died, he played against South Korean chess player Li Haocheng on another platform, becoming the last game he left in the world.

　　In the obituary, the Shanghai Weiqi Association mentioned that he was found to have depression during his lifetime. This is also the first time that Fan Yunruo's "hidden corner" has been known to outsiders-in such a decisive manner.

　　On Weibo, which he does not update frequently, the latest development stays on January 7 of this year, which is a birthday greeting automatically sent by the system. Under this Weibo, some netizens have left the words: I am sorry to know you in this way, and go along the way.

　　Not only bystanders, but the people around him who are acquainted with him are later aware of this.

Netizens leave a message.

　　"If we can see a bit of clues from the inexplicable text, if we can reply that you are not sorry for anyone, it will not happen, if." Lian Xiao, who is also a Go player, is also writing on social media like a dream Road.

　　"The circle of friends saw something wrong but didn't care, hey."

　　"Several inexplicable circles of friends thought it was your epiphany the other day, but I never expected to see you again."

　　Similar to Lian Xiao, Guo Fei Yifei and Tang Weixing both sighed on their respective social media, but everything was too late.

Many of Fan Yunruo's friends felt hindsight.

　　In this way, the morning of Beihai was swallowed by the most secret corner of his life.

　　The fall of the young Fan Yunruo at the age of 24 shocked the Chinese Go world, and also made the now-famous "sports of the sports world" appear in front of the world again.

　　As early as 2009, the German state Mennke ended his 32-year-old life due to depression. After his death, his wife Theresa held a press conference and revealed Enke's secret.

　　In fact, Enke suffered from depression twice in 2003 and 2009, but because of fear of losing his position on the field, he chose not to disclose his condition, and he subsequently lost the possibility of seeking medical treatment. Enk's death has thus become a long-standing pain in Hanover fans and even the entire German sports world.

　　But after that, depression is no longer a secret that the sports world cannot tell.

Phelps was frank and almost committed suicide due to depression.

　　Phelps once revealed that after the 2012 Olympics, if it wasn’t for sleeping pills that he didn’t bring enough, he was likely to commit suicide while traveling around the world; in 2014, he admitted that he was “escaping something” when he was arrested for a second drunk driving. Frankly, "I just want to die".

　　He also speculates that at least 90% of athletes have similar experiences with themselves.

　　Clark Carlisle, chairman of the England Professional Players Association, published an article in the British media in 2013, pointing out that hundreds of players in the UK are suffering from depression.

　　In 2018, NBA stars Kevin Love and DeMar DeRozan, known as the "flying fish" Olympic swimming gold medal winners Miss Franklin and Alison Schmidt, stood together with Phelps Come out and share your depression experience.

NBA star Carrefour (right) has also suffered from depression.

　　A terrible reality is that, generally, research suggests that exercise can alleviate or suppress depressive symptoms. But in professional sports, especially elite athletes, this is not universally applicable.

　　In contrast, according to data previously published by the National Center for Bioinformatics, more than 25% of athletes suffer from mental illness. In some countries, the suicide rate of professional sports people is even higher than that of ordinary people. Injuries, grades, and identity changes can all cause mental illness and even depression.

　　What is certain is that in the areas where professional sports are not illuminated by the spotlights, such "hidden corners" have always existed. The "Morning of the North Sea", which disappeared prematurely, once again draws people's attention to those corners in a time when the sports world is not lively.

Buffon also suffered from depression.

　　Perhaps in their respective arenas, they are omnipotent "superheroes" in the eyes of fans, but when they return to life, they are ultimately mortal.

　　In the face of such "hidden corners", perhaps people must overcome themselves first.

　　As written at the end of "Morning in the North Sea": "No matter where I go, as long as I live, the beauty of the sky, clouds and life will be with me."
