During a memorable trip to Vietnam, Deng Guilin, a renowned Chinese master of Xiangqi, or Chinese Chess, met two promising Vietnamese players. This encounter marked the beginning of a master-disciple trio that has significantly influenced the game’s landscape.
Over the years, Deng and his Vietnamese disciples have used Xiangqi as a medium for cultural exchange, fostering deep friendships and enhancing collaboration between China and Vietnam. Their combined efforts have not only elevated the game’s popularity but also strengthened the cultural ties between the two nations.
This partnership exemplifies how traditional games like Xiangqi can serve as powerful tools for international friendship and mutual understanding, bridging gaps and bringing diverse communities together.
