Growing Up
Zhou was getting much stronger now. It was said that if he ever got ahead in a game, not even Lee Chang-ho could come back and win. This became true when he beat Lee in the 10th Fujitsu Cup before following up on beating him again in the 13th Fujitsu Cup. He is not like Lee, but he claims that both their abilities to count in the yose (end game) is above others.
Zhou finally won his first major tournament when he won the 1996 National Go Individual. He would then get entry into the next year's Fujitsu Cup, but he was blocked off by Kobayashi Koichi after beating Choi Myung-Hoon, Takemiya Masaki, and Lee Chang-ho.

Famous quotes related to growing up:
“When you model, the focus is completely on you, and some people really appreciate the attention, especially if they didn’t get it growing up. You’re being drawn; you’re being looked at. There’s a sense of acceptance that comes from that.”
—Alexandra Rheault, U.S. model. As quoted in the New York Times, p. 9 (September 6, 1993)
