Three Generations of Weiqi Players Honor Nie Weiping Whose Spirit Lights China’s Go Development

The passing of "Grandmaster" Nie Weiping has caused profound grief in the Chinese Weiqi (Go) community. Three generations of Weiqi(Go) players, including Cao Dayuan, Ke Jie, and Yu Ziying, have recalled his life and expressed their gratitude for his remarkable winning streak in the China-Japan Weiqi(Go) tournament, which broke the stereotype that "Chinese Weiqi (Go) cannot defeat Japanese Weiqi(Go)" and boosted national confidence. They also remember his establishment of a training center to innovate the model for cultivating reserve talents, and his leadership with enthusiasm and responsibility that inspired countless successors to devote themselves to the Weiqi (Go) cause. Everyone agrees that Nie Weiping's spirit is like a beacon, always illuminating the path of Chinese Weiqi's(Go's) development.（Photo/VCG）
