Du Youzhi was born in a rural family in Hunan Province. He studies very hard, and almost all the textbooks he has learned can be memorized, and his grades have always been among the best in the school. It seems that going to a famous university is just around the corner.
However, after the 1983 college entrance examination, Du Youzhi only got the college score line, and more than 30 students in the class were admitted to key universities. Du Youzhi took the admission notice and sighed deeply. His failure is mainly due to the serious disorder of physics. The teacher guessed a thermal problem before the exam, 12 points. However, in the field exam, because the formula is vague, the whole question is lost.
Why did the memory of that year suddenly fail? After reading a large number of memory books, Du Youzhi came to the conclusion: "It is caused by memory disorder, which is caused by the inhibition of neural activities in the cerebral cortex by new and different stimuli. It belongs to instant forgetting. The key is that you can't strongly stimulate things when you remember, which leads to remembering and remembering. "
This is the result of typical rote learning! Many students' exam results are not ideal, not because they don't study hard, or even pay more energy than others. Many times, what they have received is not really remembered. So we must change the memory method, so that we can get twice the result with half the effort!
Du Youzhi, who was full of ambition, felt very unwilling, but because of his family's financial difficulties, he had to accept the reality and enter the physics department of Loudi Normal University.
After entering the university, Du Youzhi decided to change the old way of learning by rote, and began to learn to memorize English words and mathematical formulas skillfully through strange phenomena, association and relaxation, and applied what he had learned on different occasions.
One day, Du Youzhi read a report in the school library that someone abroad had invented a super memory method, and learners could master a foreign language within one month. In shock, Du Youzhi has a strong desire to explore memory, and he is determined to create a miracle of Chinese memory!
Whenever he had the chance, he went to the libraries inside and outside the province and carefully consulted the extracted materials. Shanghai, Chongqing, Beijing, Wuhan, Guangzhou, Kunming and other provinces and cities have left footprints of his efforts everywhere, and he also bought many books on memory and psychology. Immersed in the book of memories all day.
After graduating from college, Du Youzhi was assigned to a high school in Loudi as a physics teacher and head teacher. He applied memory to teaching and began to consciously create some memory codes, such as homophonic codes, pictographic codes, borrowing codes and recognizing codes. And the more extraordinary the scene, the easier it is to remember. For example, comparing S to a snake and comparing O to the sun, it is easy to produce memory associations. Under his guidance, students' academic performance is generally excellent, and it is easy to learn. Seeing that their research has achieved results in practice, Du Youzhi has strengthened his determination to study memory.
