In today’s fast-changing world, two young Chinese men are reshaping the future through technology. Let’s read about their stories.
Liang Wenfeng, born in 1985 in Zhanjiang, Guangdong, was good at math from childhood. By junior high school, he mastered high school math and even taught himself university courses. At 17, he entered Zhejiang University with top scores, later earning a master’s degree. When Liang was 38 years old, he founded DeepSeek, whose AI model “DeepSeek-V3” amazed the world in 2024. People called it “the mysterious (神秘的) power from the East” because it solved difficult problems faster than human experts.
Not far away in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, Wang Xingxing was also making waves. When he was a university student, he loved making robots. At first, he focused on human-like robots, but later switched to four-legged ones. His Xdog robot won awards during his master’s studies. In 2016, Wang started Unitree, creating robots like Laikago and H1. Many people doubted if robots could be useful, but Wang persisted. He believed in his vision (远见卓识). His small team of no more than 10 engineers kept innovating (创新), and today, Unitree robots are used in factories and research worldwide.
Their stories prove that with courage and creativity, young people can change the world.
