There are several big mysteries about the famous Go player Ding Wei, as we all know, he is one of the seven little dragons in the Go world, so what should his position in the Go world be?
Some people say that there is nothing to doubt, Chang Hao and Luo Xiehe have a sequence (world champion), Zhou Heyang and Wang Lei have a sequence (world runner-up), he and Shao Weigang, Liu Jing belong to the third sequence (national champion).
However, in a public case on the Qingfeng Go website in 2000, the Go network master "Dragon Flying Tiger", it is said that the deity is Ding Wei, and this is Ding Wei personally confirmed to reporters, a person who can slash Luo Xiehe four times in a row, two confrontations, six to two wins, is his positioning in the Weiqi world still accurate?
Ding Wei
Also, what was Ding Wei's real motivation for announcing that he was a dragon flying tiger?
Why is it that the dragon and the tiger are calling the wind and rain in the virtual world, but in reality, they have not made corresponding achievements?
Ding Wei is low-key, and the love story of him and the beautiful Yang Lian is known to many people. Love has been running for thirteen years, and in 2006, it has reached the critical moment of talking about marriage, and then this marriage has not been married, what happened between the two people?
Ding Wei remarried in 2007, still very low-key, if it were not for Shao Wei's wedding and his wife attending together, otherwise his marital status would still be opaque.
We tried to restore the truth of the events of that year through a long article, and also began a different life of The famous Go player Ding Wei.
Teenager Ding Wei
In fact, the Seven Little Dragons of Go are: Shao Weigang, Liu Jing, Zhou Heyang, Chang Hao, Luo Xianhe, Wang Lei, Ding Wei.
Age in order of size, there are only two people who really belong to the dragon: Chang Hao and Zhou Heyang, their eldest brother Shao Weigang was born in 1973, belongs to the cow, Liu Jing and Li Changhao in the same year, the rabbit, Liu Jing's nickname rabbit is how it came, Luo Xianhe, Wang Lei, all belong to the snake, Ding Wei was born in 1979, belongs to the sheep.
Around 1995, a group of promising young chess players began to show their strength in the chess world, the most famous being Nie Weiping and Ma Xiaochun's six disciples. Liu Jing, Zhou Heyang, Chang Hao, Wang Lei studied under Nie Weiping, Shao Weigang, and Luo Xiehe under Ma Xiaochun, and they were also called Nie Weiping, Ma Xiaochun's "six disciples".
Because Nie Weiping, Ma Xiaochun, and Chang Hao, the leaders of Go, were born in 1952, 1964, and 1976 respectively, and all belonged to the dragon, Nie Ma's "six high disciples" were also known as the "six little dragons". But how did Ding Wei, who studied under Yu Bin, join in?
According to Ding Wei's own recollection: In early 1997, a reporter from Go Tiandi magazine asked the 'Six Little Dragons' to take pictures. At that time, Ding Wei happened to be present, so he was also pulled to take a photo together. Coincidentally, this year, Ding Wei just won the national championship. Therefore, the "Go Heaven and Earth" magazine made this photo into an annual calendar picture, titled 'Seven Little Dragons'. Since then, the media has classified Ding Wei as the 'Seven Little Dragons'. ”
The Chinese Go community pays attention to the relationship between teacher and apprentice, but it is not as traditional as the cross-talk industry, and it has been taught by words and deeds.
The master leads the door, the cultivation is in the individual, how far a good Go player can go, but also depends on his own cultivation and creation.
Ding Wei's family portrait
Ding Wei was born on May 16, 1979 in Nanhua County, Chuxiong Prefecture, Yunnan Province, as the second boy in his family
It is said that at that time, the local family planning policy was still being implemented, and leading cadres could only have one child, and Ding Wei's father was precisely the head of a mine in the Dayao Copper Mine.
Because Lao Ding is active and willing to work hard and pursues advanced thinking, the mine leaders cultivate and cultivate Lao Ding as a deputy mine director.
If Lao Ding really became the deputy mine director, Ding Wei might not have been born.
However, there was an unexpected storm in the sky, and in an accident at the Dayao Copper Mine, Ding Wei's father was seriously injured in the face, chest and feet.
After this change, Lao Ding's deputy mine director could not be appointed. The mine took care of Old Ding and made him a cadre of the miners' union.
The requirements for ordinary trade union cadres will naturally not be as strict as those of leading cadres, so Ding Wei was born in this way.
Many years later, Ding Wei's mother lamented: Ding Wei is a gift from Heaven.
Go Seven Dragons
In 1997, "Go Heaven and Earth" wanted to take photos of the Seven Little Dragons, and everyone put on their team uniforms as required and went to the Temple of Heaven Park to shoot (from left to right: Shao Weigang, Zhou Heyang, Liu Jing, Chang Hao, Luo Xianhe, Wang Lei, Ding Wei)
In 1985, Ding Wei began to learn Yi, and in the same year, he left the Dayao Copper Mine and left his remote hometown to Kunming, the capital of Yunnan Province. This year, Ding Wei was only six years old.
Due to the outstanding results in the junior Go class of the Yunnan Provincial Go Team. In 1989, 10-year-old Ding Wei came to Beijing again and joined the national junior Go team.
Ding Wei is regarded as the pride of the Yunnan Go community and is also pinned high hopes on his family. As a teenager, he studied alone in Beijing.
More than a year later, his parents had the opportunity to travel thousands of miles to visit their beloved son, 12-year-old Ding Wei, and the first thing he said was: "You put me in Beijing and don't care about me?" ”
Hearing this, Ding's mother almost shed tears.
Ding Wei studied hard, in 1997, he was a young success, and at the age of 18, he won the national individual championship.
In 2007, Ding Wei passed the Go Ascension Stage Tournament and reached the standard of ascending points, becoming the 28th nine-dan player in the history of Chinese Go.
However, I never expected that Go was so niche, Ding Wei had been working quietly on the chessboard for more than ten years, almost no one knew, but ding Wei in a film and television drama stole the limelight.
In 2005, the anti-Japanese god drama "Bright Sword" was a hit, which included a famous general Ding Wei, plus Kong Jie (and the famous Go player Kong Jie), who stole a lot of limelight in the Go world.
Even now you ask Du Niang, who is Ding Wei? The first thing that jumped out was still many stills of "Bright Sword".
Go Bar is known as the base camp of Go lovers, and one of the netizens posted: The first beauty in the Weiqi industry is Yang Lian, and the divine horse Chen Ying and Tang Li are all floating clouds.
Chen Ying, Tang Li, and Mao Jiajun (later renamed Mao Yuheng) are all big beauties in the professional Go world.
Among them, Tang Li entered Nie Weiping's door.
Mao Jiajun played chess with Li Changhao in 2003, when Li Changhao was like a day in the sky, seeing a beautiful woman actually had a big heart, he couldn't bear to play a fierce hand, the two actually happened to be a chess match, in fact, the process is not important, two people play chess together, no matter what the result, is destined to be a good story in the chess world.
Mao Jiajun (later renamed Mao Yuheng)
Chen Ying is also a professional dan and is the gold medal host of the Tianyuan Go Channel.
Yang Lian was just an amateur Go 6-dan at that time, but in all fairness, the four people's appearance was not low.
The four beauties are all related to Go and have also been Go hosts, but only Yang Lian belongs to the halfway family.
Some people will ask, why do you have to be the whole beauty host? Does this still need to be asked? Of course, it is for the popularization and dissemination of the Go cause.
Chen Ying
There is a passage that says that Li Wei wore a waist-revealing body-shaping red dress at the Spring Festival Gala in 2001, dancing and singing while twisting, a song "Good Mood" easily aroused the laughter of the audience, and her stage charm bloomed wantonly, causing my cousin to forget the Hu card when playing mahjong.
There is also a passage that says that a brown brother who does not know anything about Go actually watched the live broadcast of Go on the Tianyuan Go channel in front of the TV, watched for two hours, and took a closer look, and it turned out that the original broadcast was Meimei Tang Li talking about chess.
It seems that the charm of beautiful women and beautiful chess players is indeed immeasurable.
Tang Li
In 1993, the fourteen-year-old Ding Wei met Yang Lian in Beijing, and this year Yang Lian was seventeen years old.
Yang Lian began to learn chess at the age of eight, and at the age of thirteen won the second place in the Sichuan Provincial Women's Adult Group, and won the title of Amateur 5 Dan. Sixteen-year-old Yang Lian won the Sichuan Provincial Women's Youth Championship. Since then, she has represented the Sichuan provincial team in the national team and individual competitions.
Although she has been playing in the Go arena for many years, Yang Lian only regards Go as a hobby, in other words, at first she did not put Go on the spot her profession.
Yang Lian later entered the finance department of a famous university in Sichuan, and then she began to work in the bank, where she worked for five years.
In 1999, during the first National Go League, Yang Lian was invited to the TV station to talk about chess, but she found that her favorite was still Go, so she quit her job in the bank and chose to become a Go host.
In early 2001, at the age of 25, Yang Lian bid farewell to her relatives, friends, and everything in her past in her hometown of Chengdu and came to Beijing alone.
In addition to occasionally lecturing on television, she became an editor for Go World magazine. With the rise of online Go, she also became a live advisor for Sina Go.
If in 1993, Yang Lian and Ding Wei only met each other for the first time and had a good feeling for each other, the two people just regarded each other as trustworthy people.
In 2001, Yang Lian decided to give up her career in Sichuan and began to shift her focus to Beijing.
Yang Lian, who left the financial industry, fully moved closer to the cause of Go.
Part of the reason she came to Beijing was also because of Ding Wei. At this time, Ding Wei had been promoted to a professional go player.
Yang Lian
"Dragon Flying Tiger" has created a legend in the World of Go, and although this story took place more than 20 years ago, it is still often mentioned in the media.
In addition to the identity of the professional eight dan, in fact, Ding Wei also has a special identity, he is the hero of the network: dragon flying tiger.
Long Feihu was actually registered by a friend of Ding Wei, whose online account rose from Qingfeng 4D to 9D on the Qingfeng Go website in 2000, and only lost two games in 102 games, one of which was lost to the famous Korean chess player Mu Jinshuo.
But there are more 9D on the Internet, although the record is outstanding, but the legend that really makes Long Feihu become a famous legend overnight is largely thanks to the eight sections of the LuoShihe River.
Qingfeng website is founded by Shao Weigang Jiudan, Liu Jing Baduan, Zhou Heyang Baduan and a group of top young chess players in China, which is a platform for amateur chess players to play and communicate with professional chess players.
Qingfeng's professional chess players often play chess on the Internet, and the best popularity on the Internet is Luo Xihe Eight Duan, who is responsible for watching the field for the Qingfeng Go network battle, known as the website protector.
We set the clock back to the evening of October 3, 2000, on this night, the little pig Luo Xiehe was lazily lying on the Internet, he had just taught a lesson to an unruly Internet master, in fact, one of the onlookers was actually "Dragon Flying Tiger", and at this time, "Dragon Flying Tiger" was already famous on the Qingfeng website.
At this time, someone proposed to let the Dragon Flying Tiger challenge the Luo Xie River, and in this situation, luo XiHe and the Dragon Flying Tiger had no reason to avoid the battle.
If Go is like a war, knowing that the other side will not die in a hundred battles, but it is said that Ding Wei did not know that his opponent was Luo Xiehe, and Luo Xiehe certainly did not know that Long Feihu was Ding Wei.
Therefore, Ding Wei did not take advantage of the opportunity because he was in the dark. What really makes Roche lose is the mentality of contempt.
The two sides use a 30-second one-step fast chess game.
Fast chess was originally The strength of Luo Xiehe, but Luo Xianhe had a contemptuous heart, and actually played Go while still playing Shikoku military chess.
In the first set, "Dragon Flying Tiger" seized the opportunity to strike decisively, controlled the situation and easily won the first set. In the second set, the impetuous Luo Xiehe lost again.
In the third game, Luo Xihe had already closed the military chess and concentrated on playing Go, but he still lost. In the fourth game, Luo Xiehe played very seriously, and the chess game content was also very exciting, but unfortunately Luo Xiehe still did not win.
One of the eight protectors of online warfare, the top master of Chinese Go, a professional eight-dan chess player, was kicked successfully in his own field, four battles and four defeats, piglet "can be described as a disgraced loss."
The next day, Luo Xihe informed Shao Weigang and Liu Jing of the matter, and everyone unanimously concluded that the person who came was not good, and the identity of the opponent was definitely a professional master.
Shao Weigang, Liu Jing and others had a sense of blame between their words, thinking that Luo Xiehe was not able to see the scene, Luo Xihe called up the chess game of four games, and everyone was surprised after the discussion, and Wang Lei even said that this person's level was above his own.
Liu Jing, Wang Lei and other masters were stunned, and they couldn't help but ask, Dragon Feihu's chess power is so deep, who is this person?
The Seven Dragons of Go reunite
On the night of December 8, 2000, Long Feihu reappeared in the jianghu, and he and Luo Xiehe fought four more sets, this time the two were tied in two-to-two matches.
The "Dragon Flying Tiger" quietly left in the applause of the amateur chess players. Before leaving, he finally revealed part of his information: I am a professional eight-dan chess player.
Eight professional chess players, if this information is accurate, there are actually not many people who can be circled.
But the information on the Internet is true and false, even the name is false, so some people would rather guess that it is Ma Xiaochun, Yu Bin, Li Changhao, and a Japanese chess player, and will not guess Ding Wei's head. Some people even think that Wang Lei's eight paragraphs are hyped on his own website.
The Qingfeng Protectors decided to personally take off the mask of the "Dragon Flying Tiger", Shao Weigang, Liu Jing, and Zou Junjie once even waited for the dragon to appear at the live broadcast scene of the TV station, together with the host and many viewers.
But since then, the "Dragon Flying Tiger" has mysteriously disappeared in the rivers and lakes.
Moreover, The Dragon Flying Tiger never returned, which is known as the biggest mystery on the contemporary Chinese Go network.
Just when everyone was eager to try, trying to reveal the true face of The Dragon Flying Tiger's Lushan Mountain.
In March 2001, Long Feihu began his real performance in the real World of Go, and 22-year-old Ding Wei Baduan, in the Chinese Tianyuan War held in Beijing, eliminated wang Lei Baduan, Zhou Heyang Baduan and other five masters in a row to win the final challenge, he challenged the reigning Tianyuan Changhao.
As a result, Ding Wei lost the challenge, and Chang Hao won the tianyuan battle five consecutive championships.
Time has passed a long time, when many people think that this matter may never have an answer.
On March 16, 2006, the Dragon Flying Tiger Incident was unveiled by Ding Wei himself. Ding Wei said: Actually, Dragon Flying Tiger is me.
The suspense is finally revealed. But what I am more concerned about is what is Ding Wei's motivation for revealing the answer at this moment?
According to Ding Wei himself, it was in the Southwest King's Game that guli was a little depressed, and he suddenly decided to open his heart because of the reporter's questions.
Before telling the truth, Ding Wei showed a hesitant expression. He said this: "In fact, this is a long time ago, I didn't have any ideas at that time, I just held the mentality of playing chess on the Internet, and I didn't expect such a big reaction." If you hadn't asked, maybe I would never have admitted that I was a dragon flying tiger. ”
Ding Wei explained that the name Dragon Flying Tiger became extinct on the Internet since then: The name Dragon Flying Tiger later became too much, and I did not use it again.
Fortunately, Ding Wei has other accounts available. Ding Wei of the World Series on the Internet has actually participated in it, but the results are not good, and the best is to enter the world's top eight. ”
This result is similar to Ding Wei's achievements in real life.
Chang Hao and Ding Wei
If Ding Wei is the incarnation of the internet as a hero, galloping, coming and going without a trace, then Yang Lian is a real-life Go baby.
Two people are like noisy children, and they have been divided and merged for more than ten years.
In the eyes of outsiders, Yang Lian and Ding Wei are complementary in terms of personality. Outside, Ding Wei was silent, while Yang Lian seemed more lively. However, with acquaintances, Ding Wei is very crazy and can make trouble, while Yang Lian can properly cool down.
Moreover, Yang Lian is very considerate of Ding Wei, which is very important for people who play chess.
Yang Lian's life is always inseparable from Go, and it is Go that has changed him, making her feel the beauty of life and make more friends.
In 1994, Yang Lian went to Beijing at her own expense to participate in the national stage competition, in order to save accommodation costs, she entrusted her master brother Yu Ping to find a bed in the Chinese Chess Academy, did not expect Yu Ping to be magical, arranged her on the bed of Xie Jun after chess, Xie Jun went abroad to compete at that time, so Yang Lian lived in the same room with Xu Yuhua, who was liu Jing's girlfriend at the time, because the two people were not much different in age, they soon became acquainted, and after the game they even exchanged letters for a period of time.
Mr. Wu Qingyuan once said that if a woman can play Go, she will bring at least two people to play chess, one is her husband and the other is her child.
Therefore, chess players are naturally divided into two factions, looking for a lifelong partner who can play Go, and are like-minded.
Or, find a lifelong partner who can't play Go, so as not to have to be in addition to chess or chess in life, so as to aesthetically fatigue.
Chang Hao, one of the Seven Little Dragons of Go, was already the first to marry in 1999, marrying zhang Xuan, the goddess in his heart.
Zhang Xuan
At the end of August 2003, the ninth section of the LuoxiHe River and the second section of Liang Yadi registered their marriage in Zhengzhou. In 2005, Chang Hao won the Ying Cup, and in January 2006, Luo Xihe won the 10th Three Star Cup as he wished, and the two teammates made achievements, which must have stimulated Ding Wei.
Luo Xiehe once said: Married, stable, so my grades are also good. Since Luo Xiehe could fulfill his wish, then Ding Wei was not impossible.
23 August 2006. Yang Lian heard that Liu Jing and Xu Yuhua's baby was suddenly born. She sighed in Weibo: Time is really fast, in the blink of an eye, she has become a mother, really happy for her.
Yang Lian is likely to have a feeling at this time, touching the scene.
Zhou Heyang and Liang Yadi
In 2006, a reporter asked Ding Wei and Yang Lian, when do you two plan to get married? Ding Wei's answer was: Or don't ask.
The same question, to Yang Lian, has a clear answer.
In March 2006, Yang Lian revealed to some reporters: We plan to get married this year, but the specific date has not yet been set, and we may not be able to put wine.
In fact, at this time, Ding Wei had already gone to visit Yang Lian's father and mother. Not long ago, the two had bought a house with the intention of using it as a new one. Yang Lian has to talk to the TV station every week, and now she has taken on the heavy responsibility of decoration alone, often running the building materials market.
As for the wedding date, because neither the national individual competition nor the promotion competition has set a specific date, the wedding date cannot be determined.
"Everything is fate." Li Ying, who has followed their ups and downs all the way, is happy that they are about to get married. This is written in black and white by the reporter in the news report.
Everything shows that the relationship between the two has entered the countdown to marriage.
Yang Lian is at work
Everything points to the fact that the two are about to get married, and the two also have plans to end the thirteen-year-long love run.
However, at the end of this marriage, there was no marriage.
The reporter knowingly did not ask any more questions, and naturally the parties did not respond.
However, there is a photo of Yang Lian and Ding Wei (pictured below), posted on Yang Lian's Weibo in April 2006, indicating that the two were indeed preparing to get married at that time, and then there was a major change, and the two broke up.
I tried to find the clue from Yang Lian's Weibo, the two were estimated to be separated in the second half of 2006, the time of the breakup is unknown, the reason for the breakup is unknown.
On August 23, 2006, more than two months after Yang Lian's Weibo break, she wrote these words:
The time passed so fast, in the blink of an eye, two months were gone, and my Weibo was also grassy. They all blamed themselves for being too lazy, and after returning to Beijing after the team competition, everything was not going well, and the mood had not been adjusted well. I'm really sorry to disappoint people who care about me many times. Here, I'll accompany you first!
Ding Wei and Yang Lian
Did the two of them break up in the autumn of this year, causing her to have a bad mood? I don't know, but it's the strongest clue I've ever been able to find.
The person concerned must be silent, and we will not mention it. The chief of this long-term love affair ended without a problem.
The reporters who originally thought that after Chang Hao, Zhang Xuan, Luo Xiehe, and Liang Yadi, they once again staged the chess sister-brother love drama, and they were disappointed, and at the same time, they were also lamenting.
Ding Wei and his wife attend Shao's wedding
Ding Wei was already married in 2007, and in 2009, When Shao Wei was married, Ding Wei attended with his wife, and it is said that the two already had daughters at this time.
Frustrated, Yang Lian returned to Chengdu.
At the age of 35, Ding Weijiu basically quit the first team competition, bid farewell to the active duty, and handed over the good times of his life to Go for nearly thirty years.
Even after retiring from the army, he still did not leave Go, and he founded a Go school in his hometown and began to vigorously promote the sport of Go.
This is also the ultimate mission of the Go people.
