Life In 19x19

Look what I stumbled upon a Weiqi movie. ^^ (Copying ext from my blog...)

A movie a stumbled upon just today. It's only in chinese though. The story is about a man who is called "the Go King" by his peers and adored for his skill in Weiqi. However he is unemployed and his fed up wife is leaving him. Surprisingly his son however wants to stay with his who not soon after discovers a great Weiqi talent within his son. A struggle ensues for the Go king to come up with the money to finance his son's study of Weiqi. The son makes great progress in Weiqi and has his mother to agree if he wins a the big Weiqi tournament in his city she will come back to the family.

As if the game clock wasn't pressure enough.

Truly a matter of life and death. (sorry, can't resist)

Great find. Thanks!

(For anyone who doesn't mind watching stuff that they don't understand so long as it involves Go, it's worth just typing 棋 into youku.com. You can spend days there. )
