Hello everyone! I am Xia Dejun, the newly promoted World Memory Master this year, and I will tell you the story of the "twists and turns" of the World Brain Championship World Championship Global Finals!

I thought that winning the lifetime honor of "World Memory Master" was nothing more than "probing the bag", but I was so naïve.
Time back to december 3, 2019 registration day, there is still 1 day before the official competition, after the daytime registration, I simply did a few small sports training, and there was no practice at night. Ordered 3 small bowl dishes, when eating a roast sauce tofu feels that the taste is not right, this tofu seems to be broken, so I ate two bites and did not eat this dish.
That night when I went to bed, there was nothing to do, but the next day before dawn on the stomach began to hurt, direct pain to wake up, and then successively diarrhea pulled 3, 4 times, the stomach for a long time has not been so painful, but we still have to go to the opening ceremony in the morning, no way to go before I still ran a trip to the toilet, forced to endure the hope to buy some medicine to eat.
Today must be better, or tomorrow an hour marathon project will be 3 hours a sitting, this is another must-pass project to take the world memory master, if something goes wrong on the way, then it is not another year to wait, this kind of thing happened the day before the race can be described as a great burden on people's minds, let people always think of bad places.
Then I bought a box of "Amaranth Astragalus Astragalus capsules" on the way to eat quickly, this road is really similar to the people who are motion sickness, after arriving at the Optics Valley Convention and Exhibition Center, we first booked the hotel, and then went to participate in the opening ceremony and Q&A, during which I have also been looking for a bathroom, simply inseparable from the feeling of the toilet, 囧. Later ate "Smecta" and got a little better.
Before the game, the base as a whole simulated more than 4400 points, and the triathlon reached the standard, but at that time, his mind was completely scattered, he really had no grasp of the game, and he was afraid that he could not do it, and he could only comfort himself that everything had to be in a good direction.
No. 5, the first project drawing, this project I concentrated on practicing for a few days before the game, measured for a few days, the results are above 470, the last simulation before the game score of 490 all pairs (of which the test questions are a little bit of a small episode The test paper is spliced, less than a few lines of that place for half a day) So I feel that the competition project still has room to play on this basis, and I am more confident in this project.
When Mr. Fei'er gave the password to start opening the test paper, I suddenly found out how the test paper was like this, the first shape was rotated, the second shape was not clear, in fact, these two problems were not a big problem.

Because the regional competition our question is rotating, not clear figure private training is not clear, but the brain is not able to focus on memory, a will think "yesterday one of my classmates did not ask He Lei teacher, he also said that it may not be rotating", this can be calculated to understand that it may be possible, a moment and think, why the first project will be this project, this project I must remember well, I have to rely on this project to pull points ah.
I have been distracted in my memory, thinking that "I can also match 361 in the rotating figure in the regional competition", so I will stabilize it. Just like this non-stop distraction, non-stop adjustment, in this state to write down, and finally end a look at the memory is less than 8 pages, nearly 3 pages less than usual, writing intermittently, and some answers are not sure.
Teacher Gao Jun said: After losing one item, prepare well for the next one.

As usual, although I feel that this time I did not start well, I still have to let myself enter the next item in a happy state, and finally to 319, this score is lower than any time, 10 projects and other projects may not play well, but this project did explode. Also made a series of adjustments before the next project started, meditation!
Start the binary competition, this project is big, the results of this project have been unstable, I see that I have too much hope for this project, look at the status of the first project, today I will steadily remember 3 pages there is no problem, the memory state is the same as the drawing, all kinds of distractions, less than the usual memory of half a page, and the first 3 pages of the 3rd time did not review the end. In this way, the first morning was like a divine tour to complete 2 projects.
The pre-match plan was 5,000 points (the total score of the World Memory Masters required 3,000 points), and I felt that this goal was a joke, and I suddenly lost motivation. The first event in the afternoon came to the key first event - the number of horses, many runners like me have passed the Chinese race, so the focus of the world race is on 2 marathons. Before the race, the base collective simulation has been 2 times, and the horse count scores of the 2 simulations have been improved, and the progress of this project has a lot to do with adjusting the memory strategy, and I am very grateful to Mr. Gao Jun for his guidance.
1. Individual players unconsciously shake their legs when they remember
2. The strong smell of perfume on foreign players and referees
3. The strong smell of wind and oil essence on individual players
4. The temperature of the arena is too high
The next day of the race, I didn't dare to think about the number of horses at all. The next morning,3 events, despite their own scores, still asked themselves to be satisfied and focused on the subsequent competitions, mainly triathlons. Afternoon Marathon Poker. This project is my strength, there is no problem at all crossing the line, usually remember more than 22 pairs, 2 simulation matches can be about 21 pairs, this time the goal is 22 pairs to maintain stability, the state is good to rush 23 pairs (the world memory master requires memory more than 12 pictures).
From the first day of the game, I found that there was a player in the back of my right who had been shaking his legs in the process of memory, which was very large, and after I noticed this, I moved the table and chair a little to the left when I remembered the horse flutter, that is, leaned a little against the aisle, and then finished playing the cards and began to remember. Because my memory habit will be a little to the right, so sometimes I will see the tablecloth is still shaking, and when I see it, I will constantly adjust my body to the left.
However, I did not expect that the left passage had international referees walking around in the process of ma po memory, accompanied by a strong smell of perfume. For 3 days, I have been smelled by this perfume, and I don't know the smell of wind oil essence wafting in that direction, plus sitting in the middle room with an outrageous temperature, smoked is dizzy.
The distraction during the entire memory process led to 3 decks of poker memory jumping piles, and 2 pairs of 2 cards were misread. When I remembered the 20th pair, I felt that the 4 pairs of the next note were very poor, and the quality of the note was very poor, and I saw that I was in such a poor state, so I temporarily adjusted the strategy and did not remember more. Then I watched the last 4 pairs 3 times. When I write, because I don't remember well, the 20 pairs of writing are slower than the usual 22 pairs of writing, and then I have to run out of time.
After remembering the horse pounce out of the arena, I feel a lot more relaxed, by this time the 2 marathons are finally finished, this year can not get a certificate to wait for these two results. At this time, I dare to see the horse number results, open the official website to see the horse number 2000, 2000 all pairs, super long play, fantastic!
It was already the night of the next day, and now that the horses had been counted, they were almost ready to pounce. Because the memory of ma po is also out of a lot of situations, the psychology is not at all bottom, after answering several times very sure should be able to be more than 14 and a half pairs, the remaining 2 pairs of wrong cards written 2 cards the same, and there are not sure are not counted, or look forward to the results come out early.
Originally rely on the horse poker to pull points, this time to blow up to 14 and a half that is estimated to be difficult to total points on 4000, the night to check the results of the horse poker has not come out, this night is also difficult to sleep, but have been used to, every test game basically can only sleep 4, 5 hours a night.
The next day the alarm clock did not ring before I woke up, open the mobile phone to see, teacher Yuan Dongliang sent me a horse punch 963 (18 pairs and a half), although this score is worse than usual 3 pairs, but it is finally over.
The next day all 7 results came out, the triathlon and the total score of 3000 points reached the standard, that is, he was already a quasi-master, it can be said that the third day was a bit of a feeling of enjoying the game.
The first word of the third day, my weakness, can be said to be a gift of an item, 15 minutes although I can remember a lot, but the amount of each pair is not more than 70.

Then there is dictation, dictation practice to the pre-game a little feeling, to find the feeling of remembering 190 before, but still dare not remember, 3 rounds down only remember 108, the game here 9 project results in about 3600, there is a fast poker, fast poker results are not very stable, afraid of 2 rounds are fried, fried to 3600 can be miserable, but I do not want to keep a steady record twice, 2 times the results are difficult to enter the 60s, and then I want to remember the first round slightly slower, did not expect 50s or 3 places wrong.
To this step, I really have no way, must remember correctly, must remember correctly, so I think about it and don't think about it slowly, I found that the accuracy rate of the code pressed in the location with great force is much higher, so the attention is focused on this, and the last 53 seconds 666 is right, it is really 666, although it is slower than usual about 40 seconds, but it is still correct, thanks!
The final score is 4131 points, although it is several hundred points lower than usual, but it can be counted as 4000. When I picked up my Rubik's Cube timer and excitedly recorded the time, my teammate Wang Chandan asked me: Have you broken the record? This road is really ups and downs, peaks and turns!
Wang Chandan is a good friend of my training at the Oriental Dragon Base, and when I saw the seat number, I smiled, what a coincidence! Haha, hundreds of people in the arena, we can sit at a table, fate ah! However, we did not say that we were friends on the field and kept talking, we were afraid of mutual influence, so we basically did not say much in these 3 days, and finally we all got the master certificate, here also congratulate her!

Seeing this, do you feel that this world championship is not full of ups and downs and dangers?
When should we do what we should do well, there may be a lot of unexpected things in the process, but the final result will still move forward towards our dreams, here to bless the players who also received the Memory of the World Master Certificate this year, you are all the best!
I also send my wishes to my friends who are still chasing their dreams! Thanks to everyone I met on my way to realizing my dreams!
