We are glad that the Singapore Xiangqi Association (President Mr. Lin Guan Hao, Vice President Mr. Ou Mu Shun and Deputy Secretary-General Chen Tian Yuan) decided to pay us a visit. Through this visit, we crafted out a clearer outline for next year’s Second Wuliangye Xiangqi Competition!
There is also a poem written personally, by President Lin Guan Hao:
“Bai Ri Fang Ge Xu Zong Jiu
Qing Chun Zuo Ban Hao Huan Xiang”
We are extremely grateful to Singapore Xiangqi Association for gifting us this precious set of Xiangqi. The special feature of this set of Xiangqi is: This is an imitation of Qianlong glazed red chess, it is improvised by Henan Rongyang Cultural Relics Protection Management Center. The text printed on is Xiao Xu font, also known as Qin Xu.
In exchanging favors, we hosted a banquet at the Blossom Restaurant located inside Marina Bay Sands Hotel and invited our guests from Singapore Xiangqi Association. We also invited Mr. Chan Soo Sen, the former Senior Minister of State to join us on this special occasion. Meanwhile, Mr. Chan made a great suggestion – he is willing to donate a trophy in preparation for the second Xiangqi competition, which will be held together with next year’s Racial Harmony Day. It will be a meaningful, extraordinary and wonderful experience!
