The Go Master

Based on the life of Wu Qingyuan, the most renowned modern master of "go". A Chinese prodigy who became the undisputed master of this Japanese board game, Wu is torn by the increasingly bellicose relations between the two countries. Remaining in Japan despite the outbreak of war, and later sucked into a religious cult which tries to exploit his celebrity, Wu (beautifully played by Chang Chen) is the still center of the storm, following his own inner notions of integrity and loyalty to the discipline of his chosen vocation.
