Lin Yu from the small town of Qingping was obsessed with chess. After being enlightened by the street uncle and receiving scores from masters, he studied day and night and emerged in the small town competition. He met Su Yao and the two won the municipal championship together. When he went to the provincial capital to make a living, he was frustrated at first, but with the encouragement of Su Yao, he cheered up, won a game with the talented boy Zhao Xuan, and joined the club. After experiencing internal competition and precipitation, Lin Yu made it all the way to the national competition, defeating the legendary Zhou Hong in the final to win the championship, and finally returned to his hometown to pass on his chess skills.
