Last Sunday, Apr 7th 2013, two special Japanese guests, Ms. Narumi Osawa and Mr. Mozart Ishizuka, visited Hua Xia Chinese School Greater New York (HXGNY) at the invitation of Mrs. Jie Tang, a well-known Go player at North America and the Go class instructor of HXGNY. Ms. Osawa is a professional Go player (4P) from the Go Institute in Tokyo, and was appointed as the nation’s Go ambassador by Japanese government. The accompanying visitor, Mr. Mozart Ishizuka (5P Go Player), is the president of the Japanese Go Club in New York. The guests were greeted by HXGNY school leaders Dapeng Hu, Jun Lin and Dachun Yao. All the participants shared their zeal and support of spreading Asian culture in North America. In the following three hours, Hua Xia students and parents played matches with Ms. Osawa, Mr. Ishizuka and Ms.Tang on handicapped stones. At the end of this fun event, Ms. Tang shared her thoughts from years of Go teaching, which was summarized as “Go is like life as life is like Go.” Please click here for photos and video. This event has been also reported by several regional media outlets, including bostonese.comEnglish-Chinese Online Journal and China Press. Please click here for details.
Originated in China, glorified as a reflection of ancient oriental wisdom, Go constitutes an important component of traditional Chinese culture. Being Chinese Americans, we shoulder the honor and responsibility of carrying forward this cultural jewel and introduce it to more people in this land, especially to the younger generation. Chinese school makes an ideal platform to carry on this task. Ms. osawa and Mr. Ishizuka’s visit is part of HXGNY’s continuous commitment to Go education.
Recently, a Go Expo was hosted at Harvard University. A documentary film is being created by the event organizers with Mrs. Jie Tang’s facilitation. If you would like to learn more about it, please check out the website http://www.
