In the 1980s, Nie Weiping, revered as China’s ‘Go Saint,’ achieved legendary status during the China-Japan Go Supermatches, becoming a national hero. According to popular accounts, before a crucial match against a Japanese opponent, he deliberately wore the red uniform of China’s national table tennis team. This gesture was widely interpreted as a symbolic act of patriotism. At the time, China’s table tennis team dominated international competitions and symbolized national pride and sporting excellence. By donning their jersey, Nie not only paid homage to the team’s glory but also sought to channel its aura of invincibility for inspiration and to project unwavering confidence to his rival. Although this anecdote lacks definitive documentation in official records, it powerfully captures the spirit of the era—when athletes closely tied personal performance to national honor. Nie Weiping’s choice thus stands as an iconic embodiment of the ethos ‘playing Go for the nation’ in Chinese sports culture.
1980年代，中国围棋棋圣聂卫平在中日围棋擂台赛上屡建奇功，成为民族英雄。据传，在一次关键对局前，他特意穿上中国国家乒乓球队的红色队服出战日本棋手，这一举动被广泛解读为一种象征性的爱国表达。当时，中国乒乓球队在国际赛场上所向披靡，是国家荣誉与竞技精神的代表。聂卫平选择穿国乒球衣，既是对国家队辉煌战绩的致敬，也意在借其‘必胜’气势激励自己，同时向对手传递中国棋手的坚定信念与民族自信。尽管这一细节在史料中未有明确记载，但其背后所体现的时代精神——将个人胜负与国家荣誉紧密相连——却真实反映了那个特殊历史时期中国体育人的集体心态。聂卫平的这一行为，也成为中国体育文化中‘以棋报国’精神的经典注脚。
