Some netizens said: Is it not just Bo Er rabbit? Ke Jie and Nie Weiping went down to the top purely to blame themselves.
To put it bluntly, what are the facts? For Nie Weiping, I once saw such a text: Master Wu Qingyuan in the late 80s had admonished Nie Weiping in person at his peak that "two rabbits, no rabbits", although Nie Weiping could not get off the stage on the spot, but afterwards he took the master's advice as the wind in his ears, singing and dancing, everything was business as usual, and finally he ended up with a lifetime failure to be crowned a world champion. For the eight-crowned Ke Jie, probably no one has said similar things in person, maybe someone has said it, but you and I ordinary people don't know.
On the influence of the Chinese Go community, Nie Weiping and Ke Jie are undoubtedly the two leaders of Chinese Go. Among young people, the influence is definitely Ke Jie ranking first, but among the elderly people, if Nie Weiping says that he is second, no one dares to claim to be the first. Ring hero, Chinese chess saint, former head coach of the national team, technical director, and current vice chairman of the Chinese Go Association, any hat can overwhelm you. Nie Qisheng also had the top hat of the first master and the highest spiritual leader in the Chinese Go world, apprentices were all over the world, China's first eight-crowned king Gu Li, the triple crown king Chang Hao, and the first crowned tanxiao, all belonged to Nie Lao's command; Ke Jie, Zhou Ruiyang, Gu Zihao and other big names, although not authentic apprentices, after all, had also studied in Nie Weiping Dojo; even the martial arts master Jin Yong was also Nie Weiping's nominal disciple.

Ke Jie's star temperament made him popular at once, and what people remember vividly is these two bridges: let Yuta Iiyama "blood spatter five steps" and if the winning rate is 100, then Lee Sedol's winning rate is less than 50% (that is, 5%). In hindsight, Ke Jie was suspected of blowing a lot, because the first Japanese man who was not looked down upon by him, not a sheep to be slaughtered, successfully sniped at me Ke in the semi-finals of the 22nd LG Cup; and Lee Sedol lost Ke Jie 2:3 in the final of the second Dream Lily Cup Wuban Chess, especially when Ke Jie made a big mistake at the end of the last game, almost giving up the championship.
Taking a big detour, we return to the topic of this article. The similarity between Nie Weiping and Ke Jie is that they like Bo Er rabbits, even three rabbits and four rabbits. So how many rabbits did they actually get? Let me count them for you.
In addition to Go, Nie Weiping also has the following hobbies: First, bridge. Classicly, before the fourth inning of the inaugural Ying Cup final starts in Singapore, he also has to take a detour to Hong Kong for a bridge match. If he holds the Echo Cup as he wishes, then he is the eternal god of the Go world and deserves everyone's worship. Unfortunately, he did not have the last laugh in the final of the Ying Cup, but instead fulfilled the Korean national hero Cho Hyun-hyun.
The second is beauty. Since ancient times, the hero is a good beauty, and Nie Weiping has not been exempted from vulgarity. Unfortunately, he does not have enough emotional intelligence and ability to make the red flag at home not fall, and the bunting flag flutters outside. So a succession of marriage changes followed, so how can it not affect his dedication and concentration in Go?
The third is to be keen to participate in various activities. Summarizing, commending, evaluating, celebrating, all kinds of experience exchanges, deeds publicity, media interviews, and local promotions, all kinds of happy. In quick succession, the calm state of mind and state has long since run to Java.
Let's look at Ke Jie's hobbies: First, fighting landlords. In addition to chess skills, he and Naishi Nie Weiping also have a fight in terms of hobbies, you like bridge, I am fascinated by fighting landlords.
Second, lingering in the programs sponsored by the media. The media wants to chase the stars and create a sensational effect; Ke Jie wants to be famous and promote Go in the name of promotion, and the two are a hit-and-go. A few digressions: Ke Jie, Ke Jie! If you want to be an Internet celebrity, you don't have to play chess, the two are static and moving, which is not a road at all. In addition, your first priority now is to play the game to win the championship, not to promote the Go population, not to put the cart before the horse. Without excellent performance, who will pay attention to you?
Third, enroll in Tsinghua. This is the most criticized, not to let him go, but the time is not right. In a few years, when the state has passed its peak period, can't it be, I have to go at the peak of chess, it is really inexplicable. Doing the right thing at the wrong time turns out to be absolutely tragic.

Fourth, he opened his own self-media column and served as an anchor. It is said that in addition to cultivating Tsinghua recently, the landlords have stopped fighting, and the variety shows have been less, which is a good thing, but he fell in love with a self-media column and became the anchor.
For adult Ke Jie, eight-time champion Ke Jie, Chinese Go leader Ke Jie, we may be a little demanding, but these slightly excessive requirements are actually very natural, who makes you a public figure, an idol of chess fans, and the hope of Chinese Go?
Nie Lao had already retreated to the second line in the mid-90s, leaving a huge regret of not winning the world championship for life, which not only belonged to him, but also the sadness in the hearts of hundreds of millions of Chinese chess fans. Correspondingly, the swordless Cao Xuanxuan, until the age of 50 in 2003, was able to defeat Nie Weiping's apprentice Wang Lei and win the seventh Three Star Cup, winning a total of nine world championship titles in his career, ranking third in the number of world championships.
For Ke Jie, we are also deep in love and hate! After winning the three-star cup in November last year, it has achieved the great cause of eight championships, and then successfully broke into the lg cup final, seeing that the nine crowns are in sight, catching up with the third in the world championship, but in February this year, for the first time in the foreign war of the Fanqi final, the loss of the lg cup, only let me and hundreds of millions of chess fans have tears in their stomachs.
What is even more difficult to accept is that Ke Jie's state has declined since then, until the start of the League A in May this year. I thought that the honor of the eight crowns of Guli would soon be surpassed by the nine crowns of Ke Daxia, but now that they are all on hold, when will they have to wait? I hope it will not be the Year of the Monkey!
Is it all their own reasons that Ke Jie and Nie Weiping walked down from the altar? In addition to improper or out-of-control self-management, is there any unshirkable responsibility for families, Go associations and chess academies, and all sectors of society, including chess fans?
