聂卫平 / Nie Weiping

Overview

聂卫平 / Nie Weiping was a Chinese professional go player, national-team coach, and public promoter of the game whose death provides the occasion for a 纸醉金迷FM preview about his relationship with 金庸.

Current Profile

The bounded episode opening presents Nie as the Chinese Go Association’s honorary chairman, a former national-team head coach, and the player known as “棋圣.” Its distinctive contribution is not a match history but a cultural-promotion relationship: Nie is reported to have credited Jin Yong’s fiction with bringing some readers and viewers toward go, while the two men are said to have supported Chinese-community tournaments such as the 炎黄杯.

Authoritative obituary information resolves two transcription problems in the supplied note. His name is 聂卫平 rather than 聂伟平, and Xinhua identifies him as born in Shenyang and native to Hebei rather than Taiwanese. The source’s tournament, friendship, and influence claims remain provisional because the excerpt stops before the promised evidence.

• Former head coach of China’s national go team.
• Honorary chairman of the Chinese Go Association in the episode and obituary record.
• Public promoter associated with tournament activity and broader go culture.
• Cultural interlocutor with 金庸 in the supplied episode’s announced frame.

Qualifications
