A genius boy was born, he was able to play with computer programs in elementary school, although he dropped out of high school and only had a junior Chinese certificate, he was already worth 60 million at the age of 23.
became famous at a young age and became an entrepreneurial idol for young people, but the originally smooth sailing life has changed one after another, from young fame to depression, only 12 years.
Who would have thought that the once invincible genius boy would commit suicide in the end with only one sentence, and his life can be said to be a history of the destruction of a genius boy.
What exactly did this genius boy go through? What kind of accident led him to death?
Life is frozen at the age of 35
On January 24, 2018, this day coincides with Laba Festival, according to traditional Chinese culture, on this day, the family should get together if they have the opportunity to drink hot Laba porridge together.
In fact, after entering the wax moon, the streets gradually have a New Year's flavor, and the wanderers who go to school and work abroad have slowly returned to their hometowns, waiting for the arrival of the Spring Festival.
But Mao Kankan, who locked himself in the room alone, didn't have any expectations, he was about to be overwhelmed by life.
A day later, Mao Kankan finally made a final decision about his life, he closed the doors and windows of his home, turned on the gas, and quietly waited for death to come.
In the past, Mao Kankan appeared in financial news whether he was in the newspaper or interviewed by the media, but this was his last news, but it appeared on the social plate.
Before committing suicide, Mao Kankan left a sentence in his circle of friends, tearing up a lyric in the theme song of the movie: "I love you and have no regrets, and I respect the end of the story." ”
The name of this song is "Decent", and Mao Kankan chose the lyrics of this song, perhaps because he wanted to leave some decency for the last step of his life.
After the news of Mao Kankan's death was confirmed, the media was overwhelmed with news about him, but these propaganda revealed a very different theme, that is, to explore the cause of Mao Kankan's death.
After all, whether it is the media, the public, or Mao Kankan's friends, they don't understand why he committed suicide when he is so young and a young genius that everyone envies.
Mao Kankan has outperformed most of the people around him since he was born, he was born in a military compound near Wukesong, and his grandmother still worked in Bayi Film Studio.
When most people still don't understand what a computer is, Mao Kankan can already hold an Apple computer and fiddle with it alone.
Mao Kankan was six years old this year, and it was precisely because of the computer at home that his life trajectory has changed direction since then.
Mao Kankan has been out of control since he came into contact with the computer, and other children have been attracted to games after they have come into contact with the computer, but Mao Kankan is studying the computer.
And this interest is not a whim, Mao Kankan was already very self-disciplined in elementary school, and the schoolwork in primary school is not heavy, so before school, Mao Kankan can finish all his homework.
When I got home from school, I didn't have anything else to do, and after dinner, I studied the computer.
When Mao Kankan was 14 years old, his own articles were published in magazines, you must know that the most important media at that time were magazines and newspapers, and being able to be on a magazine like "Popular Software" is enough to show how terrifying the young Mao Kankan's strength is.
With the continuous popularization of the Internet, Mao Kankan also took advantage of the first wave of east wind because of his long-term study of computers, and became the youngest moderator in the space-time program forum.
And the first time Mao Kankan really made money from the program was when he was only 14 years old, although Mao Kankan was still in middle school at this time, he had developed a small program and earned a commission of 1000 yuan.
Now 1,000 yuan is nothing, but at that time, this was already two months' salary for an employee, and since then, Mao Kankan has devoted himself to the computer, but it was this decision that made his life come to an abrupt end at the age of 35.
It's really out of the question
Because of his self-study and the achievement of being able to develop small programs at the age of 14, Mao Kankan is known as a genius boy, although he doesn't care about delaying his studies because of this, he simply drops out of school to specialize in computers.
Mao Kankan insisted on engaging in IT despite the dissuasion of his family, and even did not hesitate to let his education stay at the junior high school level, his parents were worried about the tragedy of Zhongyong, but Mao Kankan showed his Microsoft MCP, MCSE, MCDBA three certifications two months later.
With these three highly valuable certifications, Mao Kankan quickly found a job with a monthly salary of 3,600, which was already very high at that time.
However, part-time work is just a process, Mao Kankan's real purpose is to accumulate initial capital and then start a business, for which he began to change jobs frequently, not only for money, but also to accumulate contacts.
After opening an advertising agency, Mao Kankan earned his first pot of gold, and a few years later he was invited to become the CEO of Times MJ.
The 23-year-old Mao Kankan became famous because he was an intellectual "shareholder", serving as CEO and the company's chief architect.
Everyone said that this young man had not been in the company for a long time, but he was not only impeccable in terms of technology, but also a good hand in management.
Mao Kankan has been reported by major media, and he has been in unlimited scenery for a while, not only on the cover of "Chinese Entrepreneur", but also attended many CCTV programs.
The people of the whole country know that there is a genius boy named Mao Kankan, and he is already a young rich man worth 60 million yuan, he is a representative of entrepreneurship after the 80s, and he is also one of the famous "IT four youths" in Beijing, and is sought after by many people.
I have to admit that Mao Kankan himself has a certain strength, but whether it is starting a business or working part-time, he is destined not to go for a long time, because of the dazzling aura of his youth, Mao Kankan is extremely self-centered.
In the process of starting a business, he suffered a lot because of this matter, but these ups and downs are not worth mentioning in Mao Kankan's eyes, because he feels that he has the ability to solve all problems.
But in 2009, Mao Kankan resigned from his position as CEO and announced to the public that the business had failed, and he blamed bad luck and uncooperative employees, not his own reasons anyway.
A year later, Mao Kankan regained his strength, but turned his attention to the unfamiliar and very deep field of medical resources, and it is not surprising that a year and a half later, he declared his business a failure again.
After that, he tried to design and develop a traffic navigation software, but this time it still didn't end as he wanted, and he looked disdainful in an interview, claiming that he gave up because the software didn't make money.
Until 2015, Mao Kankan established a joint venture with the listed company Wanjia Culture, but this was not an opportunity for Mao Kankan to go to the next level, but a turning point for him to fall off the altar.
Two years later, Wanjia E-sports had a very serious problem, and there was a lot of good news in the field of mobile game development led by Mao Kankan, but perhaps it was born at the wrong time, and the e-sports circle and capital at this time have not been fully integrated.
Therefore, Mao Kankan's business model has no previous experience to learn from, and the most terrifying thing is that Wanjia E-sports is like a bottomless pit, and if you want to move forward, you must invest a steady stream of funds.
At this time, there was good news, the famous actor Zhao Wei and her husband's company Longwei Media announced that they would join Wanjia Culture.
At that time, this matter was in an uproar, because according to relevant news reports, Longwei Media's acquisition of Wanjia Culture's shares this time was as high as 3 billion.
Mao Kankan thought that he was finally going to run at the right time, but he didn't want to, this was not a life-saving straw given to him by God at all, but the last straw that crushed the camel.
Because of this share acquisition project of up to 3 billion, Longwei Media only prepared 60 million funds, and the use of high leverage attracted frequent inquiries from regulatory authorities.
Therefore, this acquisition has attracted a lot of media attention, and for the situation of Wanjia E-sports at that time, once the business is related to entertainment, the failure is a matter of eight or nine.
The outside world does not know why, only that even Longwei Media has failed, and few of the remaining capital dare to take over this project, and finally Wanjia E-sports found Xiangyuan, which is mainly engaged in tourism real estate, to "sell itself" and become Xiangyuan Culture.
However, Xiangyuan Holdings has not changed the situation of Wanjia E-sports' income beyond its means, and with the constraints of new shareholders, Mao Kankan can't even borrow.
His own garage has been mortgaged, but he still can't even pay the employees' salaries and the company's water and electricity rent, so he can only close the company, and Mao Kankan has also changed from a young rich man to a poor ghost with a lot of debt.
The world is not Journey to the West
Mao Kankan chose to pass away two weeks after the defeat of Wanjia, according to the response of his friend Li Xiang, the founder of Chehejia, in the circle of friends, although Mao Kankan is not old among them, he is the most righteous one.
Mao Kankan once said in his book that he thought he was the Monkey King, but he didn't expect that this world was not Journey to the West.
"Every entrepreneur is actually a hero, whether it is success or failure, just like every marriage is a good past, whether it falls apart or not.
However, human psychology is always like this, especially in this era of information explosion, if you don't use the word 'myth', no one will look down.
This often requires us readers to be more rational, because after reading too many myths, we often think that we are the Monkey King, but we find that this world is not Journey to the West, and in the end, we become a joke in the eyes of others. ”
Later, in Mao Kankan's mother's diary, the truth about Mao Kankan's suicide was finally made public, in fact, after the failure of the first venture, Mao Kankan suffered from depression.
From the diagnosis of depression to the final despair, Mao Kankan experienced more than ten years of painful struggle, although he has been using medication, but there is no improvement.
In fact, there are many causes of depression, such as major changes in life, social stress, genetic factors and even physiological factors.
After the release of Mao Kankan's mother's diary, most people believed that the cause of Mao Kankan's depression was the failure of his business, which was not only a major change in his life, but also brought him great social pressure, so his depression has not improved.
But from the perspective of depression itself, as a disease, depression does not occur suddenly, and emotional problems can develop to the point of being diagnosed with depression, in fact, it has gone through a long process.
Perhaps the seeds of depression have been planted since Mao Kankan became famous, and his parents did not support him at first, but he made his own choice.
He found his first job, earned his first pot of gold, and started his first business, these stories happen every day, why is only Mao Kankan well-known to the public, and even appeared on the stage of CCTV?
Because these things are not something he can do at his age in the eyes of the public, which is why Mao Kankan can become a young entrepreneurial idol.
But on the other hand, his young age also means that he has a lack of social experience, and he was exposed to the complex society early on when he was supposed to frolic and struggle with his peers.
He was surrounded by people who were much older than him and more sleek, and he showed maturity in such an environment that did not match his age.
Every stage of life is essential, and people's psychological maturity is also related to each experience and growth, and the lack of experience will also affect psychological soundness.
The growth stage of youth is very important, but this stage is what Mao Kankan lacks, when he experiences a failure that he has never experienced before, the psychological defense line will slowly collapse, and depression will follow.
end
The name of genius has changed from a glorious crown to a shackle that traps Mao Kankan, and the shadow of failure under the halo is even more unwilling.
In the final analysis, whether it is a failed business or a lot of debt, it is not the most terrible thing, the most terrible thing is the loss of hope in life.
