Is there a clear line between genius and idiot?
Maybe you have heard that there is a thin line between crazy money, and sometimes this line doesn't even exist. In other words, these two things will exist in one head at one end of every place.

There was a poor man named Foley who spent almost his whole life in a mental hospital in oris, Amanti.

Welfare is the child of a syphilis couple. Born blind and weak-willed, he was abandoned at an early age, and the hospital became his refuge. There, people soon noticed that Welfare had extraordinary skills in mental arithmetic, and people tried to teach him to learn some appropriate behaviors, but to no avail. Welfare can only understand a little about the lecturer's explanation. In the hospital, he groped around in the hall and other places on the ground, thus living his own life.

Foley sometimes comes out of his idiot "column" and surprises those scientists.

Learned people got together to test his lightning computing ability, which they thought was suspicious. Fowley was able to calculate at high speed and accurately, which surprised onlookers.

Once, in front of 12 outstanding European scholars and mathematicians, Foley was taken into a house to perform his incredible genius. He leaned against the wall giggling. He felt embarrassed in front of many strangers. The person who accompanied him read him a question raised by the doctors: If you have 64 boxes, you put a corn kernel in the first box, the corn kernel in the second box is twice as large as the first one, and the corn kernel in the third box is twice as large as the second one, and so on, how many corn kernels do you want to put in the 64th box!

Foley continued to giggle, his face buried in the professor's hand. His companion asked him if he understood the problem. He said he understood. The man asked if he would answer. He said yes. In less than half a minute, he worked out the correct answer. The answers are:18,446,734,073,709,551,6 15.

The idiot Fowlery in Amanti oris was once arranged to give the same performance in front of astronomers, architects, bankers, tax collectors and shipbuilders. Every time, he worked out the correct answer in a few seconds. This kind of performance didn't reappear until decades after his death, when he had an electronic computer.

1849, there was a Lord named Beaton in Alabama, USA. A slave girl in his family gave birth to a son named Tom? Vergis. Something similar to welfare happened to Tom.

Tom is blind. Because he needs special care, he is allowed to live in that big house with his mother. He can gradually grope around the house alone, but he would rather stand quietly and motionless in the corner under the main stairs for hours. Obviously, he listened attentively to the ticking of the old clock.

1855, Tom was 6 years old. On a pleasant spring evening, Lord Beaton's family entertained several guests from Montgomery. One of the programs is two ladies Beaton playing the piano. These two ladies, one is a farmer's wife and the other is a farmer's daughter-in-law. Both of them studied at the Boston Conservatory of Music and reached the level of musicians.

That night, when all the guests went to bed, Mrs. Beaton heard the piano music. She was very surprised. Is her mother-in-law going downstairs to continue her performance at this unusual time? She opened the door and took a quick look, knowing that her mother-in-law was sleeping soundly. Doubtful, Mrs Beaton tiptoed down the stairs until she reached the door of the piano room.

By the moonlight coming through the big straight window, she saw the blind boy Tom sitting in front of the piano, his short and thick fingers dancing on the keys with his touch. He was repeating a tune played by two ladies earlier that night. Although there are flaws, there are no mistakes. He just touched the keys of the piano, learned a little about it, and then suddenly "copied" the beat and music again, just like he heard it a few hours ago.

The child climbed into the living room through an open window. Surprisingly, his repeated notes were played by two well-trained pianists.

Tom? Vergis, a blind child and an imbecile, later became a musical prodigy. Mr. and Mrs. Beaton found that Tom had the ability to imitate accurately. No matter what music is played, he can play it again immediately and even copy other people's mistakes.

Tom's story spread quickly, and Mrs. Beaton allowed him to perform in public.

Tom, a blind man, toured the United States and Europe for 25 years and won applause from countless people. Whenever he listens to a pianist's performance, he faithfully and subtly reproduces the pianist's performance, even some difficult details are as good as his imitation.

Tom, who has never received the knowledge of keys? Vergis himself is blind. How did he become a pianist? This is an unsolved mystery.

1768, a wealthy family in Bonn, Switzerland gave birth to a child named gottfried? Maide's boy, his mind soon showed that he was an imbecile. His wealthy family makes every effort to improve their children's intelligence, but the children often don't respond. 18 14 from birth to his death at the age of 46, gottfried? Meide has always been an imbecile and can't even take care of herself. He needs a babysitter when he goes out for a walk.

Gottfried had a set of painting tools as a child, as well as chalk and slate. Soon after, he began to draw some excellent and vivid sketches of animals and children for fun. Some are watercolors. On sunny days, gottfried's nanny will take poor him to every quiet corner of the family territory, where he will sit for hours and mumble happily. He paints or colors. His childlike mind is full of happiness.

When he was 30 years old, his painting with artist level made him a famous figure in Europe. The paintings he painted for his pets or the children he identified with are particularly popular. A picture of a mother cat and a kitten drawn by gottfried was bought by King George and hung in the palace for many years.

The strange combination of art and idiot also happens to modern people, who is Keiji Yamashita of Kobe, Japan. With gottfried? Like Med, he needs to be protected and guided like a child. However, when his paintings were exhibited in a shop in Kobe at the end of 1957, they were widely appreciated. It is estimated that more than 65,438+10,000 people went to visit and buy them.

Kyoji was born in a slum in Tokyo. Due to mental growth, 12 years old was placed in the hospital. Although he didn't have any family background in art and didn't show any interest in painting before, Shi Jing began to paint. The way he paints is to tear off colored paper and put these pieces of paper together on the canvas.

His genius continued to develop. The doctor in the hospital encouraged him and gave him some paint. He gradually learned how to use them. He is widely loved by Chinese in Japan, and magazines are scrambling to take his works as the cover. 1956, a color picture book published by Yamashita Keiji at the age of 35, became a best seller in Japan. After that, he wandered around the streets of the city, begging, and didn't know where he was.
