For prodigies, people have always praised them since ancient times. I believe you can also list many prodigies you know. They are talented and possess wisdom that is not what they should have at that age. We always envy those talented teenagers, especially when they are in school. Most people need to learn knowledge for a long time, but it seems to them that they can complete it easily.

Everyone sometimes fantasizes that if they are a genius, maybe they don’t have to study so hard. But in fact, being a genius requires continuous hard work and enrichment, otherwise it will only lead to the tragedy of hurting Zhongyong and wasting the talent. The little genius we are going to introduce today was also famous for being called "China's youngest hacker".

At the 2014 China Internet Security Conference, Wang Zhengyang, who was only 13 years old, became the focus of everyone's attention because he was the youngest player to participate in the conference. Those who were originally able to participate in the conference had been studying the Internet and computers for many years, so they were generally older. However, Wang Zhengyang's appearance broke this rule. It was also after this Internet conference that Wang Zhengyang was called the youngest hacker in our country.

However, while some people appreciate it, others are naturally skeptical. Can someone at such a young age really understand computer codes that seem extremely complex to us? It's not hype. Voices similar to this also followed, but when everyone really got to know Wang Zhengyang, they realized that the world of child prodigies turned out to be like this.

This post-00s generation only started to really get into contact with computers when he was eight years old. At the beginning, it was just for fun as a child, playing small games on the computer such as stealing food. However, this obsession only lasted for about half a year, and Wang Zhengyang began to look for the next game that would continue to interest him. It was at this time that he accidentally came into contact with programming, codes, programs, etc.

Not to mention children, even college students will feel dizzy when they see a series of codes. However, Wang Zhengyang, who was still young, began to have great interest in the "code world" behind computer programs. As we all know, interest often plays a very important role in our learning process. Since then, Wang Zhengyang has been trapped in the world of code and cannot extricate himself.

At first, there was no computer at home. Wang Zhengyang, like most of us, had no choice but to go to an Internet cafe to learn to code. Frequent visits to Internet cafes are naturally easy to be discovered by parents, but after learning that their children are not playing games but learning programming. Wang Zhengyang's parents did not stop him in order not to discourage him. Instead, they bought him a top-of-the-line laptop and many books on programming.

With the support of his parents, Wang Zhengyang’s computer programming skills quickly improved and he was able to start making some web pages by himself. There was even one time when Wang Zhengyang hacked the school's answering system because the teacher assigned too many homeworks. After all, he was still a child for his age. Fortunately, he took the initiative to admit his mistakes to the teacher later.

Something like this is that on his father's birthday, he used a loophole to buy 2,500 yuan worth of goods online, but only paid 1 yuan. This is how many computer hackers use their skills to seek illegitimate benefits. Therefore, when we hear the name hackers, in addition to thinking that they have superb computer skills, most of the time we do not have a favorable impression. However, just like the last time he hacked the school's answering system, Wang Zhengyang quickly realized his mistake. He not only returned the goods but also informed the other party of the loopholes in the website. After that, Wang Zhengyang also began to report vulnerabilities on other websites he discovered one by one, including the well-known 360. At that time, he became the youngest person to give feedback on the 360 ??library belt plan, and was praised by Zhou Hongyi, the head of 360.

Of course, mastering superb computer technology can bring you a lot of convenience.

Wang Zhengyang has done this before, but he finally realized his mistake and said that he would become a "white hat" as opposed to a "hacker", hoping to help others through his technology. Now, in terms of age, Wang Zhengyang has entered the college stage.

His original dream was to go to a relatively good university and continue studying computer science. However, since his debut at the 2014 Internet Conference, Wang Zhengyang has slowly faded out of the public eye. Others said that his grades in high school were not ideal and that he was no longer as talented as he once was. He started working after graduating from high school. But it does not rule out that Wang Zhengyang has realized his ideal and continues to improve his computer skills on the university campus, becoming a "white hat".
