However, at the age of 15, he became a recognized genius, and even the associate professor of mathematics was his "underdog".
For a moment, his title was no longer "cerebral palsy", but"Chinese Rain Man", "Chinese Hawking".and other good names.
So, what really happened in the middle, and how did he go from a low-intelligence teenager to a genius in the mouths of everyone?How is he doing now?
This person's name isZhou Wei, was born in 1991, born in Changyi Village, Donglei Township, Wutai County, Shanxi Province. Looking at the white and chubby boy in his arms, the family couldn't be happier.
However, the good times did not last long, and when Zhou Wei was six months old, an accident happened.
That day, Zhou Wei, who was held in his arms, suddenly had convulsions all over his body, and his parents rushed him to the hospital for examination when he saw this. Finally, the results of the examination showed that Zhou Wei sufferedRickets
Encyclopedia of rickets.
Although this disease does not involve life-threatening, it is also difficult to **, and the condition can only be controlled by taking medicine.
But Zhou Wei's family background is not goodThe onslaught of drugs has left the family on thin ice, so Zhou Wei's parents can only try to buy less medicine on the premise of controlling their condition.
At first, it was fine, but gradually the parents noticed that something was wrong, and that was when children of the same age began to learn to walk and talkZhou Wei, who is more than two years old, still knows nothing.
The anxious parents then searched for relatives and friends, borrowed a large sum of money, and then took the child to a larger hospital for a comprehensive check-up.
Eventually, Zhou Wei was diagnosed at Shanxi Provincial Children's Hospital"Refractory hypoglycemia and mental retardation".This disease is what we often say"Cerebral palsy".
Upon learning of this result, Zhou Wei's parents were completely devastated.
However, the house leak happened to rain overnight, and when he was five years old, Zhou Wei was diagnosed with it again"Pancreatic islet cell tumor".
In order to help cure their son and let him live an ordinary life, Zhou Wei's parents not only spent all their family savings in two years, but also owed more than 100,000 foreign debts.
Even grocery shopping became a problem when it was the hardest time at home.
Maybe he couldn't bear to let a family be ruined because of his children, and a kind doctor persuaded Zhou Wei's parents to give up.
Because this disease cannot be cured overnightInstead of living in the hospital all day, it is better to bring it home and give him a comfortable environment, perhaps this will be more helpful to the condition.
In this way, his parents took Zhou Wei back home.
Because the child is still young, the parents want to send Zhou Wei to school, but what makes them sad is that because Zhou Wei's physical condition is not goodMany schools are reluctant to accept it
In desperation, his parents had no choice but to let Zhou Wei stay at home, and after doing farm work every day, they did their best to teach Zhou Wei to read and write.
Zhou Wei's parents also figured it out at that timeEven if the child is not smart, it is enough to be able to grow up healthy
Zhou Wei's life changed when he was 9 years old.
At that time, Zhou Wei, as usual, followed his parents to the fields to do farm work. When he was free, a neighbor next to him asked Zhou Wei with a smile"How many legs does a donkey have?”
For such a simple question, Zhou Wei quickly answered, so the neighbor immediately asked how many legs the three donkeys had.
What the neighbors and parents didn't expect was that Zhou Wei still answered correctly at a fast speed.
This surprised Zhou Wei's parents, because such questions may be very simple for ordinary people, but for low-intelligence patients like Zhou Wei, it is indeed not easy to answer these answers quickly.
From that day on,Parents are very concerned about Zhou Wei's mathematical ability, often give him some math questions to answer.
By the age of 10, Zhou Wei not only had few seizures, but also had a much stronger ability to liveHis talent for mathematics was also known to a math teacher at a local school.
So under the recommendation of the math teacher and the bitter pleading of the parents, the school agreed to let Zhou Wei go to the first grade of primary school.
Although Zhou Wei and his classmates couldn't communicate with each other, they also received a lot of cold eyes and ridiculeBut his talent for mathematics stunned the teachers at school.
Although I didn't go to school before,But he was able to answer three- or even four-digit multiplication questions with little to no thought
And what made the teachers even more jaw-dropping was that Zhou Wei would still be thereThe opening square, opening square, cyclic decimal fraction and other questions that the teacher may not be able to answer.
In this way, Zhou Wei suddenly changed from a cynical "low intelligence" to a genius boy in everyone's mouth.
In 2014, a large-scale brain competition reality show"The Strongest Brain".The program team, after learning that there was a "god operator" in Wutai County, came to the local area to invite Zhou Wei to participate in the show.
In fact, Zhou Wei himself has no concept of this show, so the decision is in the hands of his parents.
Zhou Wei's parents didn't really want to participate at first, after all, their son had never appeared in front of so many people, and they were afraid that he would have an accident.
But then I thought about it, my son had encountered so much cynicism beforeIsn't this time on the show just the best time to prove your son?
In this way, after some discussion, Zhou Wei's sister decided to accompany Zhou Wei to Jiangsu to participate in the show.
Everyone should know what happened later, from the first time he came to power, Zhou Wei's performance stunned everyone-The ten-digit square and square can be answered by mental arithmetic.
Later, the professor of mathematics of Jiaotong University also came to the stage to personally write the question for Zhou Wei, and after seeing Zhou Wei answer it at a very fast speed, the professor also said in amazement:"In such a short period of time, I definitely can't figure it out!”
In short, on the stage of "The Strongest Brain", Zhou Wei used his strength to prove his ability to the worldAfter that, no one will say that he is a "low-intelligence boy".
And this is indeed the case, since participating in the show, Zhou Wei quickly exploded on the Internet. And the topic around him is no longer "low intelligence", replaced by "young genius" and "Chinese rain man" ......
Of course, there were many people who questioned it during this periodthinks that the program team is just for the ratings, I had already given the answer to the question to Zhou Wei in advance.
There are also some more excessive people who directly posted remarks on the Internet, claiming that Zhou Wei is a "low-intelligence child" and is not a so-called genius at all.
Seeing these remarks, Zhou Wei's mother was also very sad and indignant, in order to shut up these keyboard warriorsZhou's mother took Zhou Wei to Shanghai to be tested by various professional brain experts.
The final test results showed that although his mental arithmetic ability was not top-notch, it was more than enough for those keyboard warriors.
And now, because of his excellent computing ability, Zhou Wei has beenShanghai Jiao Tong University China Super Brain Talent PoolHe applied for the job and continued to shine in his field of expertise.
Zhou Wei got the letter of appointment.
Not only did this not waste talents, but Zhou Wei also got a certain salary because of this job, and he could finally make a certain contribution to the family by his own strength.
As for Zhou Wei's parents, seeing their child's current achievements, they are also glad that they did not choose to give up this child back then.
Zhou Wei and her sister.
And those who laughed at Zhou Wei back then don't know what it feels like in their hearts now.
In the end, there must be a day when the dragon wears the phoenix, and I don't believe that the pants will wear the hole.
