Liang Wenfeng
Liang Wenfeng, born in 1985 in Zhanjiang, Guangdong, to primary school teachers, showed extraordinary mathematical talent from a young age. By junior high, he had mastered high school math and began self-studying university-level courses. At 17, he became the top scorer in his school’s college entrance exam and entered Zhejiang University, later earning a master’s degree in Information and Communication Engineering. In 2023, Liang founded DeepSeek, whose advanced AI model “DeepSeek-V3” went viral globally in 2024, praised as “the mysterious power from the East” for its groundbreaking capabilities.
Xiao Hong
Xiao Hong, an entrepreneur of Manus AI and born in 1992 in Jiangxi province, started his career journey at Huazhong University of Science and Technology. During college, he developed popular campus apps like “WeChat Bottle” and “WeChat Wall”, showcasing his innovative spirit. After graduation, he launched Nightingale Technology, creating tools used by over 2 million businesses. His mentor, Professor Liu Yu, described him as “mature beyond his years”. Inspired by his parents’ trust — who told him to “make your own decisions” — Xiao Hong continues to lead Manus AI, proving that passion and determination drive success.
Wang Xingxing
Wang Xingxing, founder of Hangzhou Unitree Robotics, dedicated himself to robotics at university. After shifting focus from humanoid (人形的) to quadruped (有四足的) robots, he won awards for his Xdog model during his master’s studies. In 2016, he established Unitree, which has since released cutting-edge products like Laikago and H1. Despite early doubts about robot commercialization, Wang persisted, believing in the value of frontier technology. His small but brilliant team of fewer than 10 engineers has redefined robotics through relentless innovation.
Nan Rendong
The late Nan Rendong, chief scientist of China’s FAST telescope (known as “sky eye”), spent decades realizing his vision. From the 1990s, he tirelessly searched for the perfect site, vowing, “I won’t rest until we find the right depression.” Even after being diagnosed with cancer, he returned to the construction site, ensuring the telescope’s perfection. Completed in 2016, FAST has discovered over 800 new pulsars (脉冲星), fulfilling Nan’s belief that humanity progresses through exploration.
