It's part of a series of interviews with directors, musicians, go players – basically artists." Although the video is in Mandarin, GoGameGuru has posted an English subtitles along with the video here. "When I first arrived at the Nihon Kiin, I had to learn to kneel while I played," Xie Yimin says in the interview. "I would kneel until my legs and feet went numb. However, my Go Sensei (teacher) said that, before the goban, one must learn to display a modest demeanour before one can become strong at Go."
