Cerebral palsy was discovered at age 2
In a fast-paced society, judging people by their appearance seems to have become the norm. People often judge a person's entire appearance based solely on their first impression. But the damage caused to us by such an incorrect way of getting along with others is immeasurable. Sometimes what others say is not the truth. The correct facts always have to be washed away by time. The protagonist of this article is such a person. As a 10-year-old cerebral palsy patient who has only entered the first grade, he has been living in people's gossip since he was a child, and public opinion almost destroyed him. However, it was also him who became a genius recognized by everyone at the age of 15. With countless doubts, he stepped onto the stage of the most powerful brain and proved himself to everyone with his absolute strength. So what was his experience like? Woolen cloth?
Zhou Wei was born in 1991 in Donglei Township, Wutai County, Shanxi Province. Unfortunately, he was diagnosed with rickets when he was only 6 months old. Due to the limited medical level in the area, Zhou Wei's parents did not take it seriously and could only Returned home with regret. Unexpectedly, he suddenly had convulsions when he was 2 years old. His family was frightened and rushed him to the provincial hospital, where he was re-diagnosed as a cerebral palsy patient. This was undoubtedly a disaster for Zhou Wei's parents. They didn't know why their son suffered from such a serious disease. They took him everywhere to seek medical treatment. He was eventually diagnosed with refractory hypoglycemia and mental retardation by Peking Union Medical College Hospital. After this incurable disease, Zhou Wei's parents had to give up seeking medical treatment and took him back to their hometown.
Zhou Wei's appearance is not very handsome to begin with, and the protruding front teeth cause the lower half of his face to be slightly distorted. Coupled with his low intelligence and the inability to interact with others normally, at a young age he has been living with the glare of the people around him and the rejection of his peers. middle. Let alone friends, almost no one except his family wants to talk to him. Although Zhou Wei's intelligence is not high, it does not mean that he cannot feel the disgust and rejection of others. This once led to his unwillingness to go out and closed himself in his own environment to protect himself.
Zhou Wei's parents naturally feel sorry for their son, but they also know clearly that they cannot force other people's ideas. Even if he didn't want to, he could only lower his expectations and just hope that he would not be bullied by others. Unfortunately, misfortunes never come singly. When Zhou Wei reached the age where he needed to go to elementary school, no school was willing to take him because of his illness. he. Zhou Wei's parents were desperate and could only keep him at home to protect their son. They took him with them to get some fresh air while doing farm work every day. While doing their best to give Zhou Wei a happy childhood, they also hoped to protect him well. He, don't let him suffer any disaster again.
The days passed so peacefully, and Zhou Wei's family gradually accepted everything and just lived their lives with all their heart. They never expected that things would reach this point, that the life they never gave them hope for would notice them and bring them unexpected joy. When Zhou Wei was 9 years old, he no longer had epileptic seizures, and the symptoms of hypoglycemia he had had since birth also subsided. Zhou Wei's parents were overjoyed, thinking that although their son could not live a normal life, at least he had nothing to worry about about his health and his life would always be easier.
One day, Zhou Wei was taken to the fields by his mother to do farm work. During the break, his uncle who was traveling with him suddenly had a whim and asked Zhou Wei: "A donkey has four legs, how many legs do two donkeys have?" Unexpectedly, the man with low intelligence and childhood problems had a sudden idea. Zhou Wei, who had not been to school for a day, blurted out without thinking: "8 legs." Both his uncle and mother were shocked and overjoyed, and hurriedly brought the news home, igniting the family's hope that had been dormant for many years. After returning home, his family conducted relevant tests on Zhou Wei's abilities. They found that although from a normal person's perspective, all of Zhou Wei's abilities were within the scope of a mentally retarded child, only in mathematics, he showed abilities far beyond those of ordinary people. talent.
Not only can he deduce arithmetic sequences by himself, but he can also mentally calculate higher-order power operations of natural numbers just by playing with a calculator at home. Seeing hope, his family finally sent Zhou Wei to the first grade of primary school when he was 10 years old. Although Zhou Wei did not attract much attention in school due to his IQ and dull personality, his activeness and love for mathematics gradually made teachers notice his talent. Out of a testing mentality, the teacher gave Zhou Wei a set of third-grade math problems. Unexpectedly, they were not difficult for him and he could answer them almost instantly.
The teachers were surprised and came up with the operations of multiplying two-digit, three-digit, and four-digit numbers, as well as higher-order square roots and recurring decimals, but they did not stump Zhou Wei and he answered them one by one. This time, Zhou Wei instantly changed from a cerebral palsy child that everyone avoided to a well-known child prodigy. With the help of his family and teachers, Zhou Wei continued to learn mathematics-related knowledge, gradually enriching himself and proving his worth to himself. In January 2014, with the encouragement of his parents, Zhou Wei participated in "The Strongest Brain" and faced the national audience on the big screen, proving himself again.
Zhou Wei, who has a moderate speech impediment and low intelligence, completed the challenge perfectly on the stage of the most powerful brain, shocking everyone. Xu Zhenli, associate professor of the Department of Mathematics at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, was responsible for giving Zhou Wei questions. He gave three very complex calculation questions: exponentiation, 14 root calculations of 16 digits, and sum of exponents. The compound operation of the square root. But Zhou Wei gave the answer using only mental arithmetic. Not only was the answer accurate, but it also took a short time and was extremely fast. Under the stunned eyes of everyone, the mathematical genius Zhou Wei continued to "kill everyone" and successfully challenged again in the next promotion competition. He became the first contestant to advance with a perfect score in the four seasons of The Strongest Brain and successfully conquered the scene. All spectators and players.
Unfortunately, in the last international match, Zhou Wei lost to the German team's master Rudiger. This made Zhou Wei, who had finally regained his confidence, once again fall into the suspicion and accusations of others. Everyone revealed his experiences of low intelligence, cerebral palsy, and failure to graduate from elementary school, which became a weapon of condemnation directed at Zhou Wei. "The answers to these math problems are very simple, just memorize them." Such words appear endlessly on the Internet.
However, Zhou Wei no longer cares about these remarks. He has proven himself on this stage, and the eyes of others no longer look at him with avoidance, but with admiration and praise. He has also become a recognized genius. Even if there were no flowers and applause along the way, he finally won his own crown. "Genius" Zhou Wei is not an exception. There are many such children who have been buried for life because they have no chance. Zhou Wei's childhood was undoubtedly unfortunate, but he was lucky to have a family that never gave up on him and his perseverance to keep improving.
Conclusion Geniuses often walk on the broad road accompanied by the envious and adoring eyes of others, but Zhou Wei is different. He has received a lot of looks and spurns, and there are only rugged mountain roads in front of him. But he finally came out, proved himself to the world, gave answers to his family, and proved himself to himself, thereby gaining spiritual satisfaction and enrichment. I hope that in our life journey, we can be like Zhou Wei, not afraid of obstacles and cold comments from others, insist on ourselves, persevere, and move forward indomitably.
How is the life of Zhou Wei, the most powerful brain, now?
On December 25 last year, Zhou Wei accepted the appointment letter and became a member of Shanghai Jiao Tong University's China Super Brain Talent Pool. Zhou Wei regularly receives a monthly living allowance of 500 yuan from the China Super Brain Talent Pool.
The life story of this strange man was also revealed in the program - Zhou Wei suffered from a strange illness 6 months after he was born. He was later diagnosed by the hospital as "moderate brain retardation". His language function deteriorated and he was unable to communicate normally with others. Zhou Wei was rejected by the school. When he was 10 years old, after his mother repeatedly begged him, he became an "alternative auditor" in the first grade.
But after reaching the fifth grade of elementary school, he was forced to drop out of school. In his daily life, he played with the calculator every day, and gradually showed his amazing mathematical talent. He could deduce arithmetic sequences by himself, perform high-order power operations on natural numbers, and calculate the correlation between two-digit, three-digit, and four-digit numbers. Multiplication, high-digit square root, cube root, etc. can quickly give the correct answer.

Character Experience
Zhou Wei was born in Changzhen Village, Donglei Township, Wutai County, Shanxi Province. When he was 6 months old, he was diagnosed with "rickets" by the county hospital due to convulsions; when he was 2 years old, he was diagnosed by the Provincial Children's Hospital as cerebral palsy; when he was 3 years old, he was diagnosed by Peking Union Medical College Hospital as "refractory hypoglycemia and mental retardation". After many treatments and treatments failed to cure the disease, the parents had to give up treatment and took their son home.
When Zhou Wei was 9 years old, the symptoms of hypoglycemia that had accompanied him for many years suddenly disappeared, and his epilepsy did not occur again. One day, Zhou Runlian took her son to work in the fields. The uncle who worked together asked Zhou Wei during a break: "A donkey has 4 legs, how many legs do two donkeys have?" "8 legs." "Zhou Wei blurted out. Unexpectedly, the mentally retarded child could do arithmetic, and the whole family was overjoyed. Zhou Wei was in the first grade of elementary school at the age of 10 and studied in the same classroom as the third grade children. He was able to handle the math problems of the third grade with ease.
He plays with the calculator at home every day, but he shows amazing mathematical talent. He can deduce arithmetic sequences by himself, and can quickly perform high-order power operations on natural numbers, multiplication between two-digit, three-digit, and four-digit numbers, high-digit square roots, cube roots, and recurring decimal fractions. Give an accurate answer[2][1].

Even Professor Xu had to use pen and paper to deduce these questions. During the challenge, the guest Liang Dong added or subtracted numbers to the questions to increase the difficulty of the challenge. However, Zhou Wei was able to give the answer using only mental arithmetic, which made the final result of the challenge feel incredible.

Character Impact
The appearance of "Chinese Rain Man", compared with all the super geniuses who have appeared in this program before, is in extreme contrast, giving the audience a long-lasting shock and thinking—— Compared with those elite geniuses who are accompanied by flowers and applause all the way, geniuses like Zhou Wei have to suffer ridicule, cold looks and doubts from the outside world. Dr. Wei was indignant, "He is a genius in the truest sense. Not only did the outside education not give him any extra points, he also had to face the dirty water thrown by others and throw ashes on the diamond!"

Zhou Wei participated in the Most Powerful Brain
Host Jiang Changjian also had tears in his eyes during the interview, "In China, there may be many friends like Xiao Zhou, but because of various Reason and wasting them. I feel like this show is a gift to these amazing friends. Don't think that he only illuminates the stage and himself. In fact, he illuminates all Chinese people. What mechanisms and systems should we have in place to allow such talents to stand out? What mechanisms and systems are in place to ensure the normal treatment of such talents? "The words are thought-provoking. [1]
Character Evaluation
After the program was broadcast, many mathematics students questioned that the test questions faced by Zhou Wei, a contestant on Jiangsu Satellite TV's "The Strongest Brain" and known as the "Chinese Rain Man", were meaningless. . Then "anti-counterfeiting fighter" Fang Zhouzi suddenly appeared, claiming that Zhou Wei's "myth" was that "the TV station found a bunch of liars to install superpowers there" [2]. “The result of raising a 16-digit number to the 14th power and taking an integer is very simple, just write it down. If he can even draw decimals, or if he can draw 3rd or 4th power, he is considered capable. "Didn't I tell them all the testing methods?" For 16-digit numbers, do not raise the 14th power or round the integer (there are only three results)... only raise the third or fourth power to verify whether he is really calculating or relying on tricks. He even said that in the 1980s, Hua Luogeng analyzed the so-called "computing geniuses" who actually used some techniques. He even dug out a video of Zhou Wei's program in 2009 to infer, "At that time, he was very slow in addition, and suddenly Of course someone had trained him in this kind of deception to scare people. "
Later, Zhou Wei came to Shanghai accompanied by his mother and underwent testing by experts from Shanghai Jiao Tong University and East China Normal University. Researcher Li Weidong from Shanghai Jiao Tong University's Bio-X Research Institute is one of the experts. After two days of testing, Li Weidong believes that Zhou Wei's mental arithmetic ability is not top-notch, but it is certainly far superior to ordinary people, and it is not that he has memorized many answers.
Daily News reported on January 23 that after Jay Chou joined "The Biggest Brain" as a scientific assistant, Zhang Ziyi will replace Tao Jingying as a program judge and appear at the recording site. Zhang Ziyi was moved by Zhou Wei, the "Chinese Rain Man" in the previous episode: "What impressed me was not only his talent, but also the perseverance and belief of his family. I admire his family and wish him well. "
strongest brain
Every Friday night at 22:00 on "The Strongest Brain" (such as the AphrFIC powerful brain competition), the Chinese Rain Man appears in the third issue.
"Chinese Rain Man" advanced with a perfect score of 150. He is not a "brainless" but a "genius"
"The most powerful brain has a player named Zhou Wei, who has been diagnosed as stubborn by the hospital since he was a child. A child with low blood sugar and low mental development has an amazing talent for quick calculation. God closed a door for him and opened a
window for him at the same time! "The Most Powerful Brain" allows us to witness the birth of China's Einstein! "On the 17th, "The Strongest Brain" judge Tao Jingying excitedly shared her excitement for contestant Zhou Wei on Weibo. Wei Kunlin, the "cold-faced judge" who is always known for her calmness, also acted extremely unstable. He said that this was "the most incoherent episode I have recorded so far! "
In the program on the evening of the 17th, Xu Zhenli, an associate professor from the Department of Mathematics of Shanghai Jiao Tong University, personally gave Zhou Wei a test. As an authoritative expert in the field of domestic mathematical formulas and calculations, he said that the difficulty of his questions was "quite
difficult". These three very complex calculation questions include exponentiation calculations and 14 openings of 16-digit numbers. Root signs, as well as multiplication of powers and square roots - these are super multi-digit arithmetic problems that even computers cannot complete, but Zhou Wei succeeded in all the challenges by relying on
mental arithmetic, and even participated in the third round of challenges. Professor Xu Zhenli was at a loss to answer the questions within the same amount of time.
However, what is sad is that Zhou Wei, who was diagnosed with "moderate brain retardation" after he fell ill, failed to study at first after recovering from the illness. His mother begged his grandfather to sue his grandmother to let him go to school as an "auditor" After he was born, he was ridiculed and looked down upon,
so he only went to the fifth grade of elementary school. During the program, he muttered, "I want to study, but I don't want to go to school." Fortunately, his family did not give up on him. His mother and sister burst into tears during the show, "Others say he is a fool, but he is not! "
Regarding the shocking performance of "Chinese Rain Man", Li Yongbo lamented, "It is very sad and pity that there are still many geniuses like Zhou Wei in China, but they have been buried due to various injustices. Liang Dong even burst into tears. Even Dr. Wei, the always
impartial and impartial scientific reviewer, was so excited that he could not speak coherently. "Many experts who measure IQ think Zhou Wei is mentally retarded. I think they must have made a mistake. He He is a real genius. I want to take him to Beijing for testing and make Zhou Weiyi
innocent! "
Dr. Wei also said something that moved everyone, "Not everyone has the most powerful brain, but the most powerful brain can come from any humble individual. "
The above is all about how Professor Xu Zhenli calculated the 4th power of 6-digit numbers, how cerebral palsy was discovered only when he was 2 years old, and related content about Xu Zhenli. I hope it can help you.
