At 16 years old, he has a university doctorate, what makes the Chinese prodigy still live off his parents at the age of 28?

What caused the Chinese prodigy who was once the proud pride of the whole country to fall miserably and become more pitiful than anyone else when he grew up?

Truong Tan Duong was once a revered name throughout China thanks to his superior intelligence. Born in 1995, when he was 2.5 years old, Duong could read more than 2,000 Chinese characters. At age 5, he entered second grade. At age 10, he took the college entrance exam and was accepted into a university in Tianjin. At age 16, Duong years old is a doctoral student in applied mathematics at a prestigious university in China. With this achievement, Truong Tan Duong was considered by Chinese media at that time to be "the youngest university student in China" and "a prodigy that comes only once in a hundred years".

However, he once caused a nationwide controversy when he asked his parents to buy him a house in Beijing worth 2 million yuan (nearly 7 billion VND). Although, they are just ordinary officials, living in a level 4 city in Liaoning province, (northeast China). When asked why he made this request, Tan Duong replied: "Because my parents put their dreams on me, so I think they should also work hard for me."

Truong Tan Duong told his parents that, if they did not buy the apartment, he would deny his father a master's degree and refuse the offer to do a doctorate. His parents ended up renting an apartment in Beijing and lying that they bought it.

In complete contrast to his extremely high IQ, Truong Tan Duong's communication ability is very worrying. This prodigy has made many controversial statements on social networks about social issues, arguing with netizens to assert his own views.

In 2019, Duong graduated and started working as a teacher at Ningxia Normal University, before quitting his job in August 2021.

He spent all the m.oney he earned while teaching (about 50,000 yuan). Currently, he has not worked anywhere, lives on his family's allowance, and occasionally participates in some projects with friends. Every three months, his father will send him about 10,000 yuan, and at the same time pay the monthly rent (about 2,200 yuan).

"I'm actually quite satisfied with my current life and don't have many desires. If I really need something, I just call my dad. My parents still owe me an apartment in Beijing, this apartment has The price is about 10 million yuan at the moment. That means as long as my spending is under 10 million yuan, I can do whatever I want," Duong said.

But Duong's parents did not have enough m.oney to provide him with everything. When he doesn't have m.oney, Duong only orders vegetables and eats expired food at convenience stores. Even so, Duong still doesn't want to get a full-time job.

When asked what would happen if parents were uncomfortable and stopped providing, Duong replied: "It doesn't matter whether they are willing or not. Even if they don't want to, they still have to give me m.oney."

However, from the current lifestyle and current mindset that a guy with an IQ of 140 has, it cannot be denied that part of the main factor comes from his parents.

When Truong Tan Duong was admitted to Beijing Industrial University as a graduate student, he was only 13 years old. In fact, his university teacher did not expect him to continue graduate studies at such a young age. They thought he could wait to graduate from college, then study abroad - some universities and organizations abroad have much more experience training "geniuses" than domestic ones, and perhaps he That route will suit you better.

However, Truong Tan Duong's parents remained steadfast in letting their son continue to maintain his "genius aura". Indeed, passing the graduate student exam at the age of 13 once again attracted a lot of attention from the media. Father Truong Tan Duong proudly raised his head high. He even wrote a book about raising his son.

Perhaps this world is fair, Truong Tan Duong's parents' stubbornness eventually caused them to suffer the consequences.

Initially, everything developed in a positive direction. Beijing University of Industry attaches great importance to welcoming this "genius" and has arranged for 2 specialized professors to guide him, which is a privilege that other graduate students do not have.

Truong Tan Duong also showed excellent academic aptitude, his scores in his major were always at the top. Everyone has high hopes for his future.

At that time, Truong Tan Duong lived quite happily. He is quite extroverted and likes to talk to people. But no one knows what is going on in Truong Tan Duong's soul, including his parents.
