Wu Qingyuan

Wu Qingyuan, who was born in Minhou County, Fujian Province in 1914, is known as the "Go genius boy". In 1928, with the enthusiastic help of Japanese friends such as Segoshi Kensaku (Emoto Akira), Kita Fumiko (Matsuzaka Keiko) and other Japanese friends, Wu Qingyuan (played by Zhang Chen), his mother (played by Zhang Sijia), and sister (played by Huang Yi) traveled east to Japan and began a lifelong Go career. When he first arrived in Japan, Wu Qingyuan competed with the newly released champion of the Nippon Chess Academy Competition and won in the middle game. Five years later, Wu Qingyuan co-created a new Go layout with others and set off a Go revolution. From 1939 to 1956, Wu Qingyuan defeated Japan's top seven super chess players with his own strength, winning "Juban chess" ten times, and was known as the "Showa chess saint". He demoted all the masters in the chess world at that time with his "Juban Go" in a "95-game arena format", creating what is called the "Wu Qingyuan Era" in the Japanese Go community. However, as a Go player, can Wu Qingyuan transcend worldly issues such as nationality, politics, and war? Did he ever experience unbearable pain?
