Xie Min and now NHK educational TV "Go focal point" in as The mini tutorial instructor's Hei Jiajia seven segments are friends. Hei Jiajia Qidan’s mother is Taiwanese, and Hei Jiajia Qidan was born in Australia, and moved to Taipei City as a child. He became a professional chess player in Mainland China in 2008. After that, he moved to Taiwan Chess Academy.


Hei Jiajia’s She knew her name when she became a professional chess player, and she got a good upgrade in the primary school Go game. The first time I met her was at the 1st Mind Sports Games in 2008. Hei Jiajia, who played for Australia, participated in the team competition, and I represented Chinese Taipei in the mixed doubles competition, so we had no chance to speak. Even after the game replay, remember that we can only watch the chess game quietly.


Two years later, in November 2010, at the Asian Games in Guangzhou, it was used as a formal game of Go as a chess game. And this time, both players represent Chinese Taipei to play


In the Asian Games, we both live in the Asian Games Village. In the 2LDK room, 4 of us in a team live together. The two of us were 5 years apart, and then we met for the first time at the press conference that summer when the team debuted. At the beginning, we were worried about whether it would be okay to stay in the same room for two weeks, but we were actually very happy. . Because we both have the chance to win medals in the team matches and mixed doubles matches of Go, we are very looking forward to it. Playing as Chinese Taipei, we took part in the competition under certain pressure, but in the end we still won a bronze medal. Perhaps it was a difficult time together. Even though our lifestyles are different, we did not feel a trace of pressure in this regard, which made our relationship better.


Then when she came to Japan for international competitions, she sometimes lived in my room. When I return to Taiwan, we will also eat together. When participating in international competitions, sometimes we will be together for a few days in a row, so that we can feel "Why can we talk about so many things", and we are chatting almost every day. From the topics of TV series and novels, to the topics of health to beauty. Of course, when we become opponents, we will go all out to face the game.


Xie Yimin once appeared in the Taiwan edition of the fashion magazine "VOGUE". That issue was a special episode about Taiwanese who are engaged in black and white-related work.


pianists, calligraphers, and directors of black and white movies. We also wear black and white clothes. A short video was shot with the main tone of the clothes. I was wearing a vest and a necklace. After all, there are very few opportunities to be published in fashion magazines. It was a good experience for me.


In September last year, the Go celebrity battle Qifanqi was played in Taipei City. At that time, he and Lin Hanjie, who was also born in Taiwan, participated in the big game commentary


Zhang Xu and Shiba Toramaru were both very popular in Taiwan. At that time, there were about 200 seats. In fact, twice as many chess fans as expected came to the commentary, so that many people could not enter the commentary room. Although Taiwan also has many strong players, there are also many opportunities to report on the Japanese title battle. It is very gratifying for us to be able to increase their interest through this opportunity.
