Immersed in the atmosphere of the World Cup, Lao Xiao suddenly received a message from a friend this morning - Teacher Huang Xiwen is gone...
astound! heartache! sadness! It was as if it was yesterday, and Teacher Huang was still talking to me on the phone, talking about his various ideas. He said, "Nothing, just talk to you." One side sighed unconsciously. The heavy pressure of the middle-aged man is inadvertently revealed, and the hearty laughter also reveals the exhaustion and vicissitudes that cannot be hidden.
In the Chinese Go world, Teacher Huang may not be a big name, but his influence is definitely not low. Many of his books have been circulated among chess fans, and the systematic "Ladder Go Classroom" and the highly practical "fixed flying knife" are the secrets of many chess players. I also knew Mr. Huang's books before I met himself, and although I hadn't read them much, I also collected a few of them.
The official acquaintance with Teacher Huang was the 2013 Chuzhou Langya Cup Amateur Go Open, although he had encountered some Go activities before, but there was no communication. That time, Teacher Huang attended as a guest, and I took my son to participate in the competition. During the period, there was some communication with Teacher Huang and left contact information for each other.
In 2013, he participated in the Langya Cup with Teacher Huang and others
In the second year, Teacher Huang called me and said that he wanted to come to Wuhan to find me, and I naturally welcomed it. At that time, I was working in Wuhan, and on the surface I was also a prince of one side, but the unit was actually full of holes, many things could not be done if I wanted to, and the reception of Teacher Huang was also a private arrangement. Teacher Huang intended to cooperate somewhat, but I was also difficult to support at that time, and there was not much substantive progress, but we talked very happily and deeply. Teacher Huang speaks very directly, dares to express his opinions, and has rich experience, often to the point.
Later, Teacher Huang went to Wuhan many times to find me, and once took his wife and daughter with him. Teacher Huang got married late, and her daughter was only 4 years old at the time, which was very cute. In 2015, the Lianyungang chess community planned to invite a heavyweight in the chess industry to participate in the event, and I invited Nie Weiping Qisheng through Teacher Huang to surprise my friends in my hometown. Teacher Huang is the de facto eldest disciple of Nie Lao, and he has great respect and support for Nie Lao, and from him we also know many of the grievances and high winds and glory that Nie Lao has suffered.
During that trip to Lianyungang, Nie Qisheng and Teacher Huang were very powerful. Nie Lao's participation in various activities with illness is approachable, and it is the most touching time for me to have contact with Nie Lao for many years. Teacher Huang kept a low profile, communicated very well with chess friends, and bothered to guide the little chess players, and everyone proposed to invite Teacher Huang to live with a family at the right time.
Later, every time I went to Beijing, I would visit Teacher Huang and find that his health had become bad. Teacher Huang said that it was a problem for many years, and the seizure was like this, but he didn't care too much. His open-mindedness is admirable, but his body does constrain his further career development. Teacher Huang often talks to me on the phone, but I can't give him any strong support for many of his ideas, and I am really ashamed to think about it now.
After I started doing the "Yidao Qiusheng" public account, Teacher Huang also gave a lot of support, including providing various books as prizes when holding activities. Teacher Huang has written many books, and he has also run his own newspaper, he very much wants to make a breakthrough in this regard, open up a new situation, and hope to cooperate with me, but I have not had time to take care of myself in the past two years, all kinds of things are pressing, the body is not very supportive, it will be delayed again and again, who knows there will be no more opportunities...
Teacher Huang always said that he was a "Go jianghu person", his life was very real, there was no whitewash, and he never hid his pursuit of practical interests, but his appeal was actually very low. Every time I invited him to dinner, he always said that it was enough to eat a bowl of noodles, and he was very disgusted with waste. Because of physical reasons, Teacher Huang does not drink much, in fact, he is massive. He often advised me to drink less wine, smoke less, and be physically important...
People in the jianghu always have to face all kinds of praise and criticism, teacher Huang has a reputation, but he lives calmly. He was unpretentious and dared to speak out. In the past two years, Teacher Huang has been writing "Forty Years of a Professional Chess Player", reflecting the big era with his own experience, which has many little-known palms. Teacher Huang said that he would keep writing, and would reveal some insider information, jianghu people, no scruples. Unfortunately, half of the book is fragmented, and the Si people have taken the Yellow Crane.
My mind was confused, my mood was painful, and I didn't know what to say for a while. Teacher Huang Xiwen is a respectable predecessor, who has struggled and struggled all his life, and has left us without a satisfactory life. Behind the brilliance of the Go world, there are many unknown bitterness.
Teacher Huang also participated in Go activities in Zhejiang before his death, and he dedicated his life's thoughts and energy to Go. Teacher Huang went all the way! The black and white world in heaven will be more pure.
