In 2014,a 23-year-old young man named ZhouWei drew a lot of attention across China with his excellent performance in arithmetic(算術(shù))on the Chinese game show The Brain.The game show wants to find the smartest person in China.
Zhou Wei was able to exactly calculate(計算) the fourteenth root of a 16-digit number with one minute on his own during the show.Even an ordinary calculator could not get the result of such difficult mathematics.Zhou Wei made the people surprised not only because he has special calculating skill,but also because he had cerebral palsy(大腦性麻痹)when he was six months old.People are now calling him the"Chinese Rain Man".However,some people didn't believe him.They believed that Zhou Wei had already remembered the answer to the math problem before the show.
As the doubts and admiration for Zhou Wei spread around China,people paid more attention to his family and his disability.According to Zhou's mom,as most disabled children in the rural area(農(nóng)村),Zhou Wei had a difficult childhood because of his disease:School refused him.Zhou's family is now running a small supermarket in his hometown.Zhou can get the money for the goods people buy.
Right now,as the most famous person in his hometown,the local government decides to help his family and him after hearing about Zhou's talent(天資).
