The passing of "Grandmaster" Nie Weiping has caused profound grief in the Chinese Go community. Three generations of 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 Go tournament, which broke the stereotype that "Chinese Go cannot defeat Japanese 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 Go cause. Everyone agrees that Nie Weiping's spirit is like a beacon, always illuminating the path of Chinese Go's development.（Photo/VCG）
