Wang Chunhui started learning Go at Qingdao Evening Post Weiqi Club. His first teacher was Zhang Guozhu 4D. He made 1D in one year and was moved to mid level class to study under Zhong Fengshi 5D. He quickly improved to 4D and was selected into First Team Future Star under the tutelage of Wang Cun 7D (former 2p who gave up pro status). At age 7 he reached 5D and started to won tournaments in and outside Shandong Province.
In 2015 9 year old Wang Chunhui was already a solid Tygen 9D. His parents thought long and hard before sending him to Hangzhou Go School to pursue pro dream. He did not give up his regular study either, coming back to Qingdao twice a year for school exams. It took a lot of self discipline and strong mentality to tolerate such rigorous schedule and excel under pressure.
After making pro he thanked all his teachers from Qingdao Evening Post Club through WeChat (similar to WhatsApp). He has realized his pro dream. His new dream is to perform well on the world stage and win some championships.
By the way he played many good game in the Chinese NIC in September and finished 40th in a field of 120, ahead of many high dan young pros.
