Do you remember the Li Wei who, in order to motivate his sick daughter, twice attacked the "Strongest Brain" challenge and achieved impressive results? In fact, he was a young man from a poor background who completed his studies on a national student loan.
In 2005, he was admitted to Wuhan University, during which he also won the First Class Scholarship and the National First Class Scholarship of Wuhan University. Distressed by the failure of English level 6, he began to learn the method of memory, and memorized 6,000 words in 6 days, which was passed down as a myth.
In 2009, after giving up the quota of "outstanding graduates" after receiving the title of "outstanding graduate", he chose to work in a central enterprise. In 2010, he became the first "World Memory Master" in Shenzhen, and the next year, together with his teammates, he won the first World Brain Championship team championship for China.
In 2014, he joined the "China Super Brain Talent Pool". In this issue, Ziya Tong Quqia is a teenager, and he will tell the story of "memory master" - Li Wei.
Li Wei was born in 1986 to an ordinary peasant family in Hong'an County, Huanggang City, Hubei Province. There are three brothers in the family, and the brother above has some hearing impairments, and he went out to work before he finished elementary school.
There is also a young brother below. The local economy is not developed and belongs to the national poor county. Li Wei's parents used farming as their main source of income, and his father occasionally went out to do odd jobs.
The life of a family of five is tight. The poor family environment made this child understand the hardships of life very early. He was determined early on to study well, get into college, and change his destiny and his family's situation.
Since entering primary school in 1993, Li Wei's study has been excellent, his motivation to learn is very strong, talented and intelligent and diligent study, in 2002, he was admitted to the famous high school in the country - Huanggang Middle School with excellent results.
Huanggang Middle School once created the myth of the college entrance examination, and to this day, many schools across the country still use the teaching and auxiliary materials of Huanggang Middle School. Li Wei is the only student admitted to the local junior high school, which shows that his strength cannot be underestimated.
In high school, Li Wei and his classmates had a competition to see who could memorize a particularly long poem first. As a result, the same table quickly came out, and it took him nearly twice as long to memorize it.
It was also at this time that the teenager who was compared to the other knew that there was such a big gap in the memory of different people.
In the strong Huanggang Middle School, Li Wei's studies are still outstanding. The teacher treated him as a seed player from Tsinghua university and Peking University.
However, in the 2005 college entrance examination, he did not play at his normal level. He was finally admitted to the School of Power and Mechanical Engineering of Wuhan University, becoming the first student in the village to be admitted to a key undergraduate.
Because of his family's poverty, Li Wei's high school was completed with the financial support of the "Western Development Assistance Project". At university, he applied for a state student loan.
Coupled with its own diligence and self-motivation, not only has each course continued its previous excellence, but also won the school's first-class scholarship and the national first-class scholarship.
However, the scholar Li Wei also has his own troubles, he is good at reasoning subjects, and it is relatively difficult for those subjects that need to rely on memory blessing.
After his grades in computer level 4 and English level 6, the long string of codes and the thick English dictionary daunted him.
This was a big blow to Li Wei, who was naturally strong, but the young man who did not accept defeat was determined to find a way to improve his memory level.
By chance, he saw the school's webpage introduce the deeds of alumni Yuan Wenkui participating in the World Memory Competition, and was deeply attracted for a while.
Just when Yuan Wenkui came to the school to open a "memory method training camp", Li Wei, who was full of enthusiasm, went to apply for staff and thought of "stealing teachers to learn art" on the side.
At the same time, he also went to the library and borrowed a lot of books about memory. He put into practice every method of memory mentioned in the book.
At that time, I also had the experience of dripping three bottles of eye drops a month due to excessive use of reading books. Gradually, Li Wei integrated the knowledge he learned and summarized a set of memorization methods suitable for himself.
With this system, his memory improved by leaps and bounds, he memorized 6,000 English words in 6 days, and successfully passed the computer and English level exams.
Li Wei believes that memory is a skill, and it can also be practiced to make a skill. As for his knack, first of all, we must give full play to his imagination and materialize the virtual memory objects.
Second, we must be good at transforming unfamiliar objects into familiar things to remember. Usually, when training, the left and right brains should be developed at the same time, and logical thinking and image thinking should be coordinated.
The improvement of memory ability has made Li Wei's studies more powerful. In 2009, he participated in the first "Memory Star" competition of Wuhan University and won the championship.
Because of his outstanding achievements, he was recruited in advance by Yangjiang Nuclear Power Plant before he graduated. Soon he was named an "outstanding graduate" of the school, which is an honor that only the top 10% of outstanding students have comprehensive grades.
Therefore, he received a notice to send him to graduate school, but Li Wei, who wanted to join the work early, gave up this opportunity after repeated considerations, and he wanted to enter the society to earn money to reduce the burden on his family.
In 2009, Li Wei joined the Yangjiang Nuclear Power Plant as a technical management engineer. Yangjiang Nuclear Power Plant is the world's largest nuclear power plant and is part of the central enterprise China General Nuclear Power Group.
With his memory expertise, he quickly entered the work role and was handy at work. A lot of data and complex knowledge, as long as it enters his mind, he is handy and efficient when applying it. Li Wei was therefore deeply valued by the company.
Outside of work, this praised "brain master" did not let go of the learning and practice of memory. In 2010, the 19th World Brain Championship was held in Guangzhou, and Li Wei began to prepare four months in advance.
He used the time he spent every day off work and weekends to carry out intensive training, and also consulted his predecessor Yuan Wenkui many times. Opportunities are always left to those who are prepared, and in the end, Li Wei won the title of "World Memory Master" with the world's 9th place and broke the single world record of "abstract images".
In 2011, he went out again, finishing third in the individual decathlon and winning the World Brain Championship team championship with his teammates, which was the first time our country won the championship in this event.
For a time, Li Wei became famous in the memory world and was known as "the strongest brain in the field of memory".
Young people who became famous after World War I did not continue to develop in the field of memory. He believes that memory is just a way to exercise the brain, a useful tool at work.
In his mind, this cannot be regarded as a profession. So he returned to work in a low-key manner, completed life events such as marriage and children, and worked and lived step by step.
During this period, he was also invited to join the "China Super Brain Talent Pool" and participated in some brain experiments in scientific research institutions such as Shanghai Jiao Tong University and Jiaquan University in South Korea.
What really made Li Wei break the "retreat" life and re-emerge from the jianghu was his daughter. In 2015, a daughter with congenital heart disease needed surgery at age 3.
In order to cheer up the little child and let her bravely undergo surgery, Li Wei decided to participate in "The Strongest Brain" to meet the highest level of challenges, in order to prove to his daughter that bravery and a strong heart can always sweep away all dangers.
In the show, 14 actors performed face changes, and a total of 120 faces were changed. Li Wei needs 8 seconds to remember them within the performance. Then find out exactly what specific face you just performed in a 300 face pool.
Such a difficult test was nothing in Li Wei's eyes, and he successfully completed the challenge without even making a mistake in the order. Subsequently, he also took the initiative to find the most difficult topics to break through, and finally successfully completed them.
After the show aired, the man who fought for his daughter was famous, and soon the news that the child had successfully completed surgery in Beijing was also heartening.
In 2016, Li Wei still had outstanding performances in the "Strongest Brain" international, and has defeated the United States and Germany.
In 2017, he was invited to participate in CCTV's "Geek Departure" program, the program guests randomly reported a long series of numbers, the voice just landed, Li Wei repeated it word for word, the guests repeated: "Incredible", Sabine called him "memory genius".
After becoming famous, Li Wei still works as an engineer, and he can also buy books on memory and recorded audio lectures online. He lives the life he wants.
Although he was born in the "cold door", with hard work and talent, Li Wei finally succeeded in his studies and changed his destiny. He learns to memorize because of memory difficulties, and this spirit of facing difficulties is worth learning.
What is valuable is that Li Wei was not burdened by the reputation of "World Memory Master" and "Strongest Brain", concentrated on work, took care of the family, fulfilled the responsibilities of a husband and father, and did not lose himself in fame and fortune.
Do you think Levi is a genius? Is it necessary for students with poor memory to specifically train their memory? Everyone is welcome to leave a message in the comment area to discuss.
