There is a unique young man in England who can taste the sound. Different sounds are as delicious as ice cream, mellow wine or truffle chocolate.
Perhaps this is incredible, but it is real. It comes from James Vanaton's unique synaesthesia.
After learning to speak, James always tells his mother in a coquetry way that he likes her very much because she tastes like ice cream.
When his father heard it, he also asked himself curiously what it was. James would pucker up his mouth and say that his father's smell was like expired peas.
Parents don't think there is anything unusual about James, but this situation is increasing. /kloc-One day when he was 0/0 years old, James was doing his homework, and his mother was sharpening a pencil for him. Inadvertently, the pencil fell off the table. James immediately stopped his pen, looked at the rolling pencil and said to himself, "I taste the whole wheat bread." Mother Zheng felt that these smells seriously distracted James and took him to see a doctor. The doctor's diagnosis showed nothing unusual, thinking that it was just the rich imagination of children in the process of growing up.
Parents are relieved, but James's condition is getting worse. In history class, when he heard the name of the headless queen anne boleyn, he couldn't help saying, "I tasted the pear full of juice." The teacher and his classmates were stunned and didn't know what James was talking about. The teacher warned him to listen carefully in class. But in every history class, James can associate most British monarchs with taste, which makes him easily remember the historical events that other students can't recite for a long time, so his historical achievements are always among the best, but the students think it is impossible after they know his special memory method. He is just attracting others' attention.
With the growth of age, James will feel different tastes every time he hears other people's names. When choosing friends, he will also decide according to his own taste for other people's names, just as the classmate sleeping on his upper bunk became his good friend because he tasted the crispy potato chips. His deskmate made him taste the mellow wine and became his girlfriend.
Not only that, James, who is new to the workplace, also remembers the way to work by taste. He felt that his route to work was like a recipe, starting with a jam sandwich and arriving at the company when he tasted truffle chocolate. The Oxford Square passing by tasted like a cake. This "recipe" not only makes James easily remember the route he is going, but also reminds him in time if he accidentally goes in the wrong direction, because in his memory, he will go north, and the taste in that direction will turn into bacon. If not, it will prove that he is wrong.
James can perceive the world with his sense of taste, which makes him have a unique and delicious life, but it also adds a lot of troubles to his life. Once, he and his girlfriend watched a movie with a disaster theme, and the ups and downs of the picture were superimposed with deafening sound effects. This complicated sound has always puzzled him. Every time he hears a word, he will unconsciously associate the corresponding taste. If he can't find that taste, he will keep thinking about it. There will be countless words in a movie, and James will keep wanting to taste it. Not only did he not appreciate the shock of the plot, but he was also exhausted.
In a very painful situation, James went to the hospital for an MRI examination, and the result was extremely unexpected. There is a special connection between the parts of his brain that deal with hearing and taste, that is, the synaesthesia ability of mixing the two senses. About 4% people in Britain will be influenced by this vague feeling, but this kind of taste synaesthesia is rare.
This synaesthesia brought trouble to James, but it was as natural and indispensable as breathing. After knowing his own situation, he joined the British Synaesthesia Association, gave various synaesthesia speeches, and finally became the chairman of the British Synaesthesia Association.
James's unique ability gave him a delicious life, but it also troubled his normal life. However, he turned his disadvantages into advantages and broke out his own unique world.
In fact, opportunities in life are fair to everyone, and there is no success without trying.
