| The Epoch Times The Chinese writing system is among the most complicated in the world. However, there is an infant in China who is learning it with ease. According to Beijing Science and Technology News, at the tender age of ten months, child genius Zhuangzhuang is able to recognize 2000 Chinese characters and practice simple arithmetic before he can even tie his shoes. Zhuangzhuang began recognizing words when he was four months old, and at six months, he could read 1000 characters. Within another four months, Zhuangzhuang doubled his previous knowledge. For an average one-year-old child, it is impossible to distinguish the patterns of the characters, yet Zhuangzhang is doing much more. Zhuangzhuang's story is a clearly a unique one, and is no doubt baffling researchers. |
