Original subtitles

[English subtitles are available]

You're not afraid to lose in any Go game.

[Previously]

Anyone can intimidate you easily.

I've watched you play so many times.

I've never seen you count down.

You're being annoying.

Let's challenge someone tomorrow.

Challenge someone?

[Millionaire Bathhouse]

Will the three male guests step right in?

-You're good. -Thank you.

It's normal to be defeated by them.

They are professional players.

Aren't you looking for experts?

[Lan Yin Temple]

This is the place.

It survived.

There is a very important competition.

I intend to let you play.

They're our sponsors, our financial backers.

The big shots of the city.

What can be more important than this game?

Nice to meet you.

[Hikaru no Go]

A tie.

Well?

I'm as good as a professional Go player.

I'm tied, too.

Could it be a coincidence?

You're tied, too?

I had the upper hand.

How did it end up in a tie?

We're tied, too.

The probability is too small.

Don't compare yourselves to me.

I only gave him three handicap stones.

How many did you guys give?

He can't be that precise.

This must be a coincidence.

Thank you for the game.

I was so close to winning.

Yet it ended in a tie.

[Lan Yin Temple]

Master, since we came all the way here

to practise Go with such sincerity,

please teach us something.

Yeah. Please teach us.

You're not using the old master as an excuse

to put us off, are you?

You're such a great player.

Just teach us a few tricks.

-Right? -Exactly.

If you're really that earnest,

work here for two weeks first.

What? Two weeks?

That's too long.

There's nothing else I can do then.

We'll do it.

We will, right?

Whoever is willing to stay,

you'll sleep here tonight.

I'll take you to your posts tomorrow morning.

Okay.

He's not tricking us into working for him for free, is he?

[The 21st Round: What's Your Name?]

It's too hard.

Haven't I already told you

we can't afford to offend those four men? We can't.

But you tied with all four of them.

Are you trying to show off your ability? Who are you trying to insult there?

I'll give you another chance to make amends.

We'll be having guests in two days...

I'm not playing anymore.

What?

I said I don't want to play anymore.

Then forget about the A-League.

I want to quit the team.

Do you think you can just join and leave the club as you please?

Go home and ask your father

what a contract is.

There are a total of 108 steps

in this stairway.

We'll clean it together,

on mornings and evenings.

Once I'm done cleaning, can I play Go with Master Kidney Bean?

Haven't I already told you?

Two weeks of probation period.

You can only play him if you do a good job.

Although I'm untalented,

I know a little bit about Go.

If you really want to play that much,

we can sweep the floor and play at the same time.

Thank you, master.

But how do we sweep and play at the same time?

Blindfold Go.

Ever play it?

Blindfold Go.

I've never been good at blindfold Go.

I can't seem to concentrate.

I can't remember all the steps.

As long as you have a clear mind,

there's nothing you can't memorise.

The first move,

4, 16.

Okay.

The second move.

16, 4.

Also,

playing Go shouldn't keep you from sweeping.

You have to make a move

before you finish sweeping a step.

The third move,

16, 17.

The fourth move,

4, 4.

Don't stop sweeping.

Yes.

The fifth move, 17, 6.

The sixth move,

14, 3.

This is more like it.

When one's mind is settled like still water,

it will become clear.

I said I didn't want to stay here,

yet they made me stay.

Have they gone mad?

Washing dishes, picking vegetables, rinsing rice and cooking,

when I'm through,

there'll be no need to get a grade.

I might as well become a cook.

You're not helping for nothing.

Once we finish our chores, I'll play with you.

There's a Go board over there.

You can set it up first if you like.

You know how to play Go?

I know a thing or two.

I'm untalented, I only know a little bit of it.

It's pointless then.

What's the fun of it if you only know a little bit?

You might as well just lie there for a while.

It must've been a long day for you.

My offer isn't worth your consideration, is it?

Forget it if you don't want to play.

We can play.

I got no one else to play with anyway.

I can use you to hone my skills.

Xiao Guang,

didn't you say someone will arrange a job for you?

Why isn't there anyone here?

Let's go.

No, ask around.

Is anyone there?

Is anyone there?

Hello?

Is anyone there?

[Sutra of Perfect Enlightenment]

Why are you screaming? You scared me.

It's just some sutras.

How long has it been since anyone cleaned this place?

Why did they assign you here?

Do they expect you to study Zen?

I say, it's good that no one's here.

Let's just practise Go here by ourselves.

I don't like to play with a stranger anyway.

Let's find a place to settle down.

The 23rd move,

9, 15.

The 24th move,

8, 18.

-Hello. -[Hello.]

[Congratulations, your mobile number has been selected]

[as a grand prize winner]

[of our lucky draw.]

[Please bring along your...]

The 25th move,

10, 17.

Atari.

Your turn.

The 26th move,

8, 17.

There is already a stone on 8, 17.

Place your stone elsewhere.

I don't really remember the previous moves.

You've already lost track, despite we've just started.

You weren't concentrating.

How are you so fast?

They call me The Rocket,

O'Sulli-Hong.

Oh no, I haven't chopped the wood.

Just give me a minute.

What?

You're just going to keep me, The Rocket waiting here?

Is this a proper thing to do?

[Southern and Northern Dynasties Go Handbook]

Chu Ying,

look, a Go handbook from your time.

Let me see.

"Southern and Northern Dynasties Go Handbook."

This is good. Its content is pretty much like today's.

Emperor Wu of Liang?

And the Go games he played?

What's the matter?

The game had ended in the past.

The past has turned into dust,

all that remains are sighs of regret.

Forget it, forget it.

Don't.

You were the most popular and greatest Go player

back then.

We have to vindicate you.

This doesn't look like your style.

They even recorded this dull one.

It's obviously a blunder.

[Emperor Wu of Liang wins, Anonymous]

Chu Ying, this looks like yours.

What do you call it?

This is your game. Check out Black.

There...

Again? How is this...

Is he alive or dead?

His body is so stiff, he must be dead.

Is this place a morgue?

Don't scare me.

He's moving.

I can't even get some good sleep here.

He's alive.

You gave me a fright.

You shouldn't frighten people even in broad daylight.

I was sleeping fine here.

And you just came in and screamed. Who's the one that frightens people here?

I was assigned to clean this sutra depositary.

This depositary is clean enough.

There's no need to clean it.

Go away. Stop disturbing my sleep.

This is outrageous. Let's go.

What are you looking at?

It's none of your business.

-You... -Do you want this Go handbook?

Simple, you just need to do anything I say from now on.

Then I'll consider giving you the handbook.

Go and get me a glass of water.

Give me another minute.

I need to add some vinegar.

No one plays like you.

There are over 30 moves.

And you've paused a dozen times.

Sorry.

Everyone in the temple is waiting to eat.

I'm done now.

Let's keep playing.

Why don't you add some salt too?

You've reminded me.

Excuse me, one more minute.

If you're getting impatient,

think about the moves you just made.

Don't blame me for not reminding you.

You made a terrible mistake in one of your moves.

Just focus on adding the salt.

I made a terrible mistake,

yet the game is still progressing slowly.

Can I take back one move?

Go ahead.

I don't get you.

Why are you playing so fast?

You don't think before you place your stones.

It's not like I'm rushing you, right?

The Rocket,

where is that potato I asked for just now?

I'll peel another one for you.

Master, here you go.

Where is the handbook?

About that, when you were getting me some water,

I put it away.

You didn't keep your word.

If you really want the handbook,

you have to do what you promised.

Everyday, during my nap,

you're to clean up the sutra depository.

I'll give you the handbook when you leave.

Ignore him, Xiao Guang.

We don't need the handbook, let's go.

Fine.

You have my word, alright?

But I have another condition.

When I sleep here during the day,

you have to keep a lookout for me.

After I wake up, you have to give me a massage.

That's outrageous.

Deal. Anything else?

One more.

When I'm bored,

you have to play Go with me.

What a coincidence.

I'm bored now.

Come on.

Is that a 21 by 21 board?

This is all I play.

Who would play such a weird game with you?

I can't play it.

I'll add another condition then.

I'll give you the handbook

if you can defeat me.

No compensation points.

Fine.

Fine.

I'll play you.

I'm exhausted.

I picked the vegetables, cleaned the pots,

I even chopped 50 kg of wood in the end.

I met a lazy monk.

He asked me to clean the cabinets, tidy the place.

He even asked me to give him a massage.

When he was bored,

I had to play 21 by 21 Go with him.

21 by 21?

I've only heard about it.

I've never played it.

Forget it.

It's all dirty tricks.

How long do you think we have to stay here?

Since we are here,

we might as well just make a name for ourselves here.

Master,

you may be patient,

but Madam White Snake isn't.

If you don't leave,

she might flood the Jinshan Temple

and fight her way here.

I'm only staying until New Year's Day anyway.

There's a fireworks display in the square during New Year's Eve.

Let's join the fun.

Shen Yi Lang, why don't you bring Madame White Snake along?

[Hello. Congratulations, your mobile number has been selected]

[as a grand prize winner]

[of our lucky draw.]

Shi Guang.

Shi Guang,

is he mad?

Why did you have to bring her up?

Since you've finished sweeping five steps,

I'll let you start with five handicap stones.

That is if

you can play me till the end.

Deal. Let's start.

4, 17.

16, 16.

-3, 7. -16, 3.

You're faster than yesterday.

6, 3.

If you stop talking to me,

I could concentrate and play better.

No way. I have to up the ante.

You'll only get better if you can play and chat at the same time.

3, 14.

Fine then.

3, 16.

You've been here for five days now, right?

Don't think that I don't know what's on your mind.

You just want my brother to give you some tips,

so that you can learn something and leave here, don't you?

That's what I wanted before.

But it's no longer what I want.

Come on.

Where were we?

What's the rush?

Why did you suddenly start to settle your mind and think about your move?

Because I realized something.

If I can't beat you,

even if I play him, it'll be for nothing.

I have to think about my moves.

It's good that you've realised it. I'm going to cut vegetables.

Where did you put your stone?

What's the rush?

Go and cut your vegetables.

If I continue to cut it, it'll become mashed potato.

Alright. I'm going to water my

-Yuanxin Manlin flowers. -Go now.

Yuanxin Manlin flower?

This is the legendary Yuanxin Manlin flower?

You like it?

I can give you one when you leave.

Really?

You have to keep your word.

I'm not finished.

You'll have to defeat me first.

It's beautiful.

This monk is clearly teasing you.

He's capturing your stones for fun.

Alright, you can stop counting.

This whole basket is all yours.

I'm not playing anymore.

What a sore loser.

I'm not.

You're a large board player. You're bullying

a standard board player like me.

Let's play standard Go, then.

We'll see who the sore loser is.

I thought you look silly,

but you're quite a good player.

Then I thought you're smart,

but why are you so short-sighted?

Stop beating around the bush, cut to the chase.

Stop acting like some guru.

A large board may be only bigger

than a standard board by two rows,

but the amount of calculation is remarkably huge.

It requires big picture thinking and imagination,

which how could a standard player like you be a match for it?

I'm not torturing you.

I'm training you.

Keep playing.

Actually, I was using reverse psychology.

-It's true that I'm torturing you. -Just play the game.

Xiao Guang,

calm down.

I'll help you to find out his weakness.

When a man achieves a certain level in playing Go,

no weakness can be found.

How did you know we...

I mean I, am looking for your weakness?

Don't ask.

Nature's mystery mustn't be told.

Do you know something?

Why are you asking so many questions?

I've beaten you up so badly now.

Why aren't you figuring out how to find my weakness?

Have you no shame?

You're full of nonsense.

Ever heard of

the outburst of Ge'ze?

Alright, that's it for today.

It's settled then.

Turn this Wei Da Go website

into a comprehensive entertainment website.

We can include games like

Chinese Chess, Battle Chess,

and Tetris.

This isn't the old days.

Not many people play Go anymore,

-don't you think? -Exactly.

Let's work on the design of

virtual costumes.

And players will need to top up game credits to buy it.

Or else, they'll have to play it naked.

We'll make a lot of money by then.

You're right. I've thought of a name for it.

Skins.

What do you think?

Gentlemen,

what do you think of our Go team?

We have a lot of young players

who are full of potential.

Here's the thing, for us,

your Go team is just a fringe benefit.

In my opinion, you should just dissolve it.

But we had a deal.

We're not in the Go circle,

let alone having a passion for Go.

That's right.

Think it over.

Give us a call once you've made up your mind. Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Goodbye, sir.

-Sorry. -What took you so long?

I'm really sorry.

Zhou Si Yuan.

Xu.

Why are you working as a delivery boy?

I'm making a living.

I'm young,

I can't live in a dream forever.

I'm doing fine.

I was a Go player,

now I'm a rider.

Let me know if there is anything I can help you with.

Xu,

you should pay more attention to Yu Liang.

He terminated the contract with the club.

Terminated the contract?

Why?

Because he couldn't enter the competition.

Hello, sir.

I'm sorry, I'll be there soon.

Sorry.

Xu, my customer is waiting for me. I should go now.

Si Yuan,

I hope you can forgive me.

Everyone does what's best for themselves.

I don't blame you, Xu.

I should go now.

Hello, Mr Yu.

[Fang Xu, have you made up your mind?]

Will you come back and play Go,

or will you continue to work on meaningless stuff out there?

Mr Yu,

I would like to give it one more try.

My team can't survive without me.

And I can't leave them either.

[Alright then.]

[You're not my pupil anymore from now on.]

[Mr Yu, I know what I am doing.]

[I'm not playing around.]

[And what I am doing is meaningful.]

Why can't I do both?

I didn't say you've made a mistake.

What I am saying is, there are things that you can work together at the same time,

but Go is not one of them.

Not if you want to become a top Go player.

And definitely not when you're my student.

Mr Yu,

please trust me for once.

Please trust me for this one last time.

I can manage the team

and be a great Go player.

I'll get rid of all my bad habits as well.

Fang Xu,

starting today,

you are no longer my pupil.

Wait, Mr Yu.

Don't do this, Mr Yu.

[You're expelled.]

[I'll never take you back.]

That's low.

They're going to score.

-Hold it. -Kick it forward.

-Kick it forward. -Nice pass.

What's going on?

Can't you see we're watching football?

I'm talking to you.

Are you looking to get punched?

Give it to me.

Give me.

Give me.

You...

Senior,

I've heard about it.

My father has expelled you.

But you're still my senior.

I'm terminating my contract.

Even if I'm forbidden to play Go

for a year,

I have to terminate my contract,

no matter what it takes.

Senior,

-wait for me... -Quiet.

Watch the movie with me for a while.

That's the line.

[No more excuses from now on.]

[You want to go?]

[Fine, go.]

[Go as far as you can.]

[But don't ever let me find out that]

[you are lying to yourself.]

Even a prodigal son

can make a comeback.

Isn't that right?

Terminate the contract?

I don't think so.

I've paid quite a lot

to sign him.

Name your price.

I'm determined to get this contract terminated.

Five times the signing bonus.

I'll pay the termination fee,

but only on one condition,

Yu Liang mustn't find out that

I helped him terminate his contract.

You're willing to spend so much for him,

is it worth it?

One year's time,

and I'll show you the value of this agreement.

Morning, Master Kidney Bean.

Morning, why is it cabbage today?

It's time to change the menu. It's the end of the month.

They are changing the menu.

It's the end of the month already.

Nice.

Master, there are a few things I still don't understand.

Help me out.

Go on.

About the thing you said last time, the outburst of Ge'ze,

what does that mean?

Tell me about it.

The outburst of Ge'ze? Did I say that?

You have.

You were the one who asked me if I knew that.

If you want to learn about Go,

you can stay.

If you're going to ask that kind of nonsense,

get out of here.

Master, I've been massaging your body for half an hour.

How could you do this to me?

Don't you want a massage?

Forget it, don't ask him anymore.

Let's just focus on playing Go.

I don't think he'll tell you.

Besides,

what can we do even if we understand it?

There you go.

Are you ready?

Let's begin.

Where did you place your stone?

I haven't placed one.

Sorry.

We're not playing today.

Let's have a chat.

Have a seat.

What action did I perform just now?

Drinking water.

No.

It's lifting up and putting down.

These are the two actions for water drinking.

It's the same thing in life.

You can't just keep holding the bottle

just because it's light,

and you shouldn't be afraid to lift it up

just because it's heavy.

Be courageous and bold in action,

make a decision when it's time to act.

Take your time, there's no rush.

I'll go and put some salt in it.

Seriously,

who plays Go like you?

You're playing it at a leisurely pace.

Well, I learned it from you.

Nonsense, I'm not as slow as you are.

Then I'm better than you.

Just hurry up, okay?

I put it there.

You don't have to rush.

That's good. Let me put some soy sauce in it.

Take your time.

You have to think about your move.

The world isn't what it used to be.

You taught your pupil the skill,

yet he used it against you.

Alright, I've done all my tasks.

I have time to play you now.

No rushing.

I'm out of stones.

Oh, really?

I didn't expect anyone

to get this far against me.

So I didn't prepare many stones.

I'll go and take it.

Never mind.

Although this is just an instructive,

the way you played

is commendable.

For this round, let's consider it...

Consider it my win.

-Consider it a tie. -That's stupid. Let's play again.

I'm cutting you some slack, don't be ungrateful.

If I don't beat you,

how can I challenge Master Kidney Bean?

I want to leave the mountain.

Just for that?

You're already qualified to challenge him.

-What do you mean? -Go and ask him.

Wait a minute. Aren't you forgetting something?

You're talking about this handbook?

That's right. This is it.

As I said it before,

I'll give it to you if you beat me.

You didn't beat me.

Why should I give you?

Master,

you said this is considered a tie.

Never mind.

Let him off this time.

We'll find him again once you finish the grading tournament.

I have to play him for at least one time.

You mortgaged your house?

Keep your voice down.

Are you sure you don't want to sell

the website and the Go team?

If I say I'm going to honour all my outrageous promises,

will you trust me once more?

I will.

Let me tell you another thing.

I've signed a new player to our team.

New player?

Yu Liang.

Senior,

I've come to check in.

Alright. I'm going to call everyone here.

Senior,

I have good news for you.

I terminated my contract with the club.

And they didn't give me a hard time at all.

Their attitude was totally different from before.

I couldn't believe it.

Because everyone knows

you're Go's only hope.

When your will is strong,

the universe will open doors for you.

So the world is still

full of kindness.

Of course.

Speaking of which,

I have a gift for you.

A stone?

This is the famous Yongzi.

Hold it up to the light.

Senior, this is too generous.

Let me tell you another good news.

I've been studying the rules of the tournament.

Since you haven't officially played

for Song Kun's team,

you're qualified to play

for another team.

Which means

you don't need to wait for a year.

In the next round of B-League,

you'll be Wei Da's main player.

You deserve this little incentive, don't you think?

Welcome to the team, Xiao Liang.

We're leaving here tomorrow.

Regardless of the outcome,

we're grateful for everyone we've met

during this period.

Let's go.

Let's challenge Master Kidney Bean.

Why don't you want to play us, Master?

There is no point.

To be honest,

the two masters

who taught you to sweep and the master who cooks

are my seniors.

Their skills are far better than mine.

What about the master in the sutra depository?

He's my elder.

His skill is second to none in Fangyuan City.

You guys have been taught by them,

defeating me is no longer a problem.

And I was looking forward to seeing you three take your final test.

Why didn't you tell us earlier?

These are Master's ideas.

Many Go players have come here before,

but all of them failed to learn

because of their impatience.

But you guys are different.

Your earnestness and perseverance made you stay and help.

While helping us with the chores, you have improved your Go skills.

What?

You still don't get it?

Now that you've played 21 by 21 Go,

no situation can faze you now.

Mr Hong,

you can now play both fast and slow

with ease.

Really? Have I become that awesome?

Mr Shen,

you're now able to make over a hundred moves in blindfold Go.

You've achieved a higher level of mental clarity.

Good for you.

May I know the names of the masters who played Go

with us?

Besides, I can't keep calling you Master Kidney Bean.

The truth is,

you were your own opponents all along.

As long as you remember the games you've played here,

our names don't matter.

[Lan Yin Temple]

The time has come, you may leave now.

Thank you, Master.

What should we do now?

I've got to go now.

I need to send flowers to Can Can.

That's the first thing that came to your mind?

And then what?

And then...

Nice.

That's enough. Let's go now.

What is this?

What are you doing here?

New Year's gift.

Can Can, who's here?

Don't tell them it's me, I'm going now.

Happy New Year.

-I've given her the gift. -Have you?

What took you so long?

-I was delivering a gift. -Look,

every table's taken

except this one, and he's playing Go. I'm embarrassed to ask.

He's playing Go?

He's Korean.

We need to ask someone. Hi.

Hi. Can you

ask him on my behalf that

we won't disturb him from playing,

can we share a table with him? We'll leave once we've finished eating.

Okay.

They would like to share the table.

Ask them to leave.

Yes.

Pardon me,

he's our manager's nephew.

He is practising Go here.

Alright, we have time now.

Why don't we play him?

Look at his board, it's quite interesting.

Excuse me, please translate for me.

Please ask him

if we can play a few rounds with him.

Play a few rounds?

They want to play with you.

Me?

Yes.

They think they deserve to play me?

Get lost.

What's with his expression?

He said

he's not feeling well today.

He can't play with you.

Idiot.

I know that phrase.

He's insulting us.

Why can't we play you? What's wrong with that?

Why did you insult us? Do you think you're so great?

Stop fighting. Please calm down.

-Why did you insult us? -Excuse me.

-What's going on? -Is this your nephew?

We didn't say anything about him

taking up four seats by himself.

He refused to let us play with him.

He refused to let us eat here. He even insulted us.

Play Go with him?

Soo-Yong is no ordinary Go player.

He's one of the best among the institute students.

He'll become a pro soon.

What institute student? He's acting like a child.

Institute student?

"Institute student" is a Korean term

similar to China's "top young player".

So we're both in the same field.

We Korean institute students

are different from you guys.

You can't just get into the institution by paying.

Don't cry if you lose.

-He's quite arrogant. -I don't understand.

Come on, let's play a round.

Let's play a round, come on.

-Let's settle this. -Come on.

-Soo-Yong, play him. -Set it up.

Come on, one round.

Here.

You let me guess? Fine.

I really want to praise you.

After all the training these past few days,

your skills have begun to shine.

Oh no.

Looks like he's going to lose.

He still needs work.

You've done a good job,

but you're still not as good as me.

I can't believe he put it there.

In this game, not only did Xiao Guang see

the details that escaped other people's eyes,

but he also had a firm control of the game.

Without anyone realizing it,

he has gone ahead of everyone else here.

Although he is an institute student in Korea,

Shi Guang is still winning.

And that move just now

has turned the situation around.

Why do I feel like even if I'm the one who is playing,

I might not be able to make that move?

Illusion, it must be an illusion.

-Good job. -Thank you for the game.

Let's go.

-I'm not hungry at all. -Please hold on.

Please tell me your name.

I don't speak Korean.

What's your name?

My name is Shi Guang.

Bye-bye.

-Was I good? -You said it.

-I was holding my breath. -Stop bragging.

Even I was impressed with the move I made just now.

My goodness.

Did you see my move just now?

After the 20th move,

I just put it there.

-Why didn't I think of it before? -Shi Guang.

You are?

Remember me?

Isn't he Experimental High School's...

Mr Yin?

-Hello, sir. -I've seen you play Go three times.

The first time, you were in junior high.

But that game was brilliant.

Thank you, I was the one who played.

The second time was in a Go tournament.

You didn't play very well that time.

The third time was just now.

That game today,

it was a great game.

At your current level,

you can play in a professional tournament.

Thank you, sir.

Now you're impressed with Xiao Guang.

At first, I couldn't believe

a junior high student

could be this good.

I told you, it was me.

But now, I do.

That brilliant game

was your handiwork.

Thank you, sir.

Keep it up.

We should get going now.

-Okay. -Bye-bye, sir.

Bye-bye, sir.

I'm so happy today.

Not only did I beat a Korean guy,

but I also won Mr Yin's praise.

He actually thought I played that game.

We... I mean, I can pass as a great player now.

Why aren't you happy?

Aren't you happy for me?

In the teacher's eyes,

we're the same person.

At this rate,

I'll be able to show Yu Liang

that I'm not a fraud.

I, Shi Guang, am the real deal.

What's the matter with you? Why are you so quiet?

I'm fine.

Alright, I'll bring you to the New Year Countdown later.

Shi Guang,

come on, let's go to the countdown event.

What took you guys so long? You just went to the toilet.

Hurry up, you talk too much.

Let's go, hurry up.

He forgot the toilet paper.

Why didn't you rush him?

Why didn't you bring some to me?

You've brought honour to our country.

[2005 Happy New Year]

That was nothing.

Wait till I compete at the international level.

Then I'll really be bringing honour to our country.

Look at you being arrogant.

I'll keep in mind what you just said.

Keep it in your mind forever.

The year has gone by so fast.

Without you guys,

I would've been really bored.

Hurry up and thank us now.

Thank you.

In the river of time,

not a second too early,

not a second too late,

we met you at the right time, Shen Yi Lang.

That's romantic.

Timely Shi.

Boring Shen.

Romantic Hong.

Come on. It's New Year, and you can't even let me be a bit sentimental?

Xiao Guang,

thank you for all the Go games you've let me play.

You've been quiet the whole day.

I thought you were upset.

I'm glad you're happy.

I'm fine. I just realized something.

There is no "your game"

or "my game".

Still, I want to thank you.

And I you.

There are too many people here.

I'm not feeling well, I have to go.

Okay.

I'm going back to South Korea tomorrow.

So soon?

I've made up my mind.

I actually lost a game today.

I was boastful before the game.

I ended up being badly defeated.

It was so embarrassing.

No one can win forever.

I can't go on like this.

At first, I thought I was just going through a phase,

so I came to China for a change.

Now it seems that it wasn't a phase.

It's my mindset that's wrong.

Don't call me a genius anymore. It's embarrassing.

Fine, it's better not to be a genius,

because God is jealous of geniuses.

You say the nicest things.

Happy New Year.

Hello?

The countdown has started!

Five, four, three

Who on earth defeated you and made you like this?

two, one.

Happy New Year!

New Year, new grade!

New Year, new grade!

Catch the thief!

Stop! Stop right there!

A young Go player called Shi Guang.

Shi Guang?
