Nie Weiping was sent to Heilongjiang Farm at the age of 17! He sneaked back to Beijing to watch the China-Japan Go game and was punished as a deserter

According to the news on July 14th, at the age of 17, Nie Weiping, a chess sage, went to Heilongjiang as an educated youth to jump in the team for 3 years. Although his life was difficult, it was an excellent discipline for him.

In 1969, the family had no financial resources. The 17-year-old Nie Weiping had no job. The only way out was to go to Shanxiaxiang to receive re-education for poor middle peasants. He came to Heilongjiang Shanhe Farm.

Nie Weiping recalled, “It rained and snowed on the day of arrival, and it rained and snowed later. The ground was extremely muddy. There was no good ground. We wore it when we went. New, clothes and shoes are new, but they are all sloppy. This is what God gave us.”

Shanhe Farm was originally a reform-through-labor farm. The way to discipline young intellectuals is not only not calling them by name, but also confinement at every turn.

Speaking of the work of the farm, Nie Weiping is as precious as every family, shoveling the ground, cutting wheat, cutting beans, pigsty, retting, working day after day, no future in sight, everyone Very depressed.

On the farm, Nie Weiping learned to smoke, drink, and speak foul language.

Nie Weiping recalled, "Every day, I shaved the ice at the door. That was winter, when the educated youth went out, the toilet was far away, thirty to fifty meters away. How cold it was, it was over 40 degrees below zero. When you go out, no one will pee.

Everyone will pee when they go out. Once they reach the ground, they will become ice. So they rise up taller than people. What is this? At that time, I couldn’t do it, so I asked me to get a pickaxe to shave this ice every day. I shaved the ice faster than this, and the longer I got, the higher I was, I couldn’t shave, I couldn’t do it. This is definitely an educated youth. Scenery.”

Nie Weiping took a pair of Go to the farm, but no one could play it. As a result, it was distributed as a hidden weapon during the fight. The days without chess were really uncomfortable. He once ran to the 100-mile nine-point field to find Cheng Xiaoli to play chess. Nie Weiping once met Cheng Xiaoliu in the Go class at Children's Palace. After the news that Nie Weiping played chess spread, many educated youths came from each branch and played for 3 days. In the evening when they parted with Cheng Xiaoliu, both of them felt lost in their future, but did not give up.

Around the Spring Festival in 1971, the farm blew back to the city. Many high-ranking cadres left the farm and returned to the city due to various relationships. Because he couldn't find the way for a while, Nie Weiping stayed on the farm honestly. The leader regarded him as a model of "rooted in the frontiers," and asked him to give lectures on the farm.

Just as the situation is improving, he received a letter from his younger brother Nie Jibo telling him that the Japanese Go delegation is about to visit China. Nie Weiping said, "I heard that Beijing has I'm just overjoyed for this Go game. I want to come back and have a look. At that time, the farm was semi-militarized, and it was basically impossible for you to ask for leave. When the farmer is busy, I don’t approve it. So I went quietly, strictly It was called escape. I became a deserter and returned to Beijing from the farm.

I thought I would go back when I counted the good days to the game, but I found that my brother had lied to the military, not this year It’s next year, it’s 1972.”

Nie Weiping did not dare to tell his parents when he returned to Beijing that he stayed at a friend’s house for one night and hurriedly boarded the train the next day. He didn’t have the money to buy a train ticket, so he could only pick up the train. I was often blasted off the train, so I continued to take the next trip. I spent a lot of time on the road. It was a week after I returned to the farm.

Xianjin suddenly disappeared and became big news on the farm. "The farm found that I had been missing for a week, and got me up when I went back. I didn’t explain it. I said that I was a liar. I was a liar, and I still looked like a person. Why did I ran away when the farm was busy? I said, I’ll think about it. The Japanese Go delegation came to China to play. Do you want the farm to believe it? He doesn't think you are a heavenNight Tan? ”

At the end of 1971, Nie Weiping returned to Beijing. This time he never wanted to go back. Nie Weiping’s parental trust relationship made him the liaison officer of Heilongjiang Farm in Beijing and asked him to help the farm buy Materials.

But in fact, Nie Weiping spent most of his stay in Beijing in Beijing No. 3 General Machinery Factory. At that time, the national Go team had been disbanded, and 7 national players including Chen Zude were assigned. When they were workers in the factory, they were not married. They lived in the single dormitory of the factory. Nie Weiping played chess with them from morning to night.

It is strange that it is very strange on the farm. The level of Nie Weiping, who plays less Go, is much higher than in the past.

Nie Weiping said, “This place on the farm is very rude to me, and it’s a kind of experience for my people. It’s to send you to hell. Go for a good practice, I've suffered no matter how hard it is, so it's usually nothing. So it's not a trivial matter to be behind in the Go game, I have suffered everything else. Just boil it through. ”

Play chess hard during the day, and then put all the chess out to study until late at night. Nie Weiping soon discovered that everyone except Chen Zude is no longer his opponent.

In 1973, the Chinese Go national team was reorganized, and Nie Weiping was selected as a training team composed of more than 30 masters across the country.
