Nita asked Alice Poon:

Lately I have been watching Chinese fantasy series on TV. I saw 'Who Rules The World' and The Rise of Phoenixes. Have you read the books they are based on? Please tell me the meaning of Ning Yi. Does Yi mean a chess board? Tell me the significance of the game GO.

Alice Poon Hi Nita, I have not read the novels mentioned. According to Wikipedia, Ning Yi is the name of the male lead in The Rise of Phoenixes. I'm not into games and so I'm afraid I can't help.

On April 30, 2020 I was interviewed by Matteo Damiani, founder of the China Underground media website (a news and culture website related to China's past and present). One of his questions was: "Why did you choose this particular historical period?"

Hi... Another question :) You said that Chen Yuanyuan took the Taoist name Yu An, but all I could find was “寂静”, I was just curious because I wanted to track down the Anfu Garden as I live not far from Kunming. Could you tell me the Chinese for the garden too, if it really exists? The only place I could find here associated with Chen Yuanyuan was 宏覺寺/三聖庵. Thanks!
