Peking University's 'God Wei' Lives on $40 Monthly, Solves PhD-Level Math Overnight

Despite declining lucrative offers, including a $140,000 prize, Wei remains dedicated to mathematics, often refusing payment for his assistance, stating, 'It's unnecessary to pay me for such an easy problem.' His preference for steamed buns and a worn water bottle over luxury underscores his singular focus on academia.
Wei Dongyi, Peking University's math prodigy, subsists on $40 monthly while solving complex equations that baffle PhDs for months, embodying a paradox of simplicity and genius.
