Wei Dongyi looks silly, but in fact he knows exactly what he wants, so he doesn't care much or respond to outside voices. He chose the simplest way to deal with reality, reduced unnecessary energy and consumption, and devoted all his time to mathematical research. He is extremely materialistic, has no fame and fortune, and doesn't want to make big money.
Therefore, the genius of Peking University did not choose to study abroad like most gifted students of Peking University, but stayed at home to concentrate on his studies and live a very simple life. During my school days, I published more than ten papers, which was very influential in the international mathematics field. Now he spends more time on math research than others every day.
In the life of a genius, mathematics is faith.
As a genius, Wei Dongyi experienced too many comments. He has many details that ordinary people find incredible. Teacher Orsay of his middle school said in an interview that Wei Dongyi is a mathematical genius, but his self-care ability is weak and his emotional intelligence is low. So this teacher has been saying that he hopes the school will take more care of him in life.
I'm afraid this is also the teacher's worry when he sees his video interview. This is to look at Shen Wei through the eyes of ordinary people. Shen Wei is an extremely pure person, according to his classmates who have had contact with him and are familiar with him. He did something unconventional, not because of his poor living ability, but because of his own choice.
