Stephen Wiltshire is an "idiot genius" in Rome, Italy. At the age of 15, he has a super visual memory that is unmatched by any other person, and he can remember the location of all the roller coasters in the world, as well as the climbing angle of each coaster and everything else, once he has been there once. "One look and they all belong to him" is everyone's evaluation of Stephen, he is also known as "an Einsteinian genius living on an island".

  To test the strength of Stephen's visual memory, several experts from the National Institute of Medicine came to Stephen's home, and then they hired a helicopter to take Stephen more than 100 meters in the air, and then flew around Rome for 45 minutes, and let Stephen remember what he saw in the plane about the city of Rome. He was told to spend seven days drawing what he saw of Rome on a 5-meter-long scroll.

  Soon, the experts were amazed by the scene, only three days, Stephen will be a complete panoramic map of Rome drawn out, the degree of accuracy is astonishing! The scenery in the picture is almost identical to the real one! Stephen is completely a "live camera", and their level of genius is no less than the late Hitchcock, Freud, and even Newton. Through further research, experts found that Stephen fits all the qualities of the "idiot genius".

  To uncover the secrets of Stephen's internal brain composition, the experts met with Stephen's mother and guardian - Ms. Tanisha, hoping to get her permission to allow them to scan Stephen's brain electronically to see how his left and right brains are structured and how the internal parts are connected, to find the real reason for the super the real reason for his visual memory ability.

  However, to the experts' disappointment, Tanisha refused.

  But the experts did not give up because of this, they still tried to persuade Tanisha now and then through phone calls and door-to-door visits, and promised that the Institute of Medicine's brain scanning apparatus was specially developed for Stephen and was so advanced that it would not harm his brain in the slightest and would not leave any after-effects, but it was still rejected by Tanisha.

  Probably to obtain authoritative and explosive research results to enhance their world leadership in the field of idiot genius research, the experts felt that they could not give up this great opportunity, and finally, they decided to give Tanisha a substantial payment - a tempting $2 million, and if they felt that it was not enough, they could negotiate to add more.

  Tanisha needed the money so badly that she had to quit her previous job to help Stephen with everything since the child was 4 years old because Stephen had a big obstacle in self-care and socialization. To make matters worse, when Stephen was 7 years old, Tanisha's husband was killed in a car crash due to a drunk driver, leaving her and Stephen without a source of livelihood and relying on government assistance.

  However, to everyone's surprise, Tanisha, a single mother still chose to refuse, she said: "In fact, I am not worried that the scan will cause harm to Stephen or leave a legacy so that he is no longer a genius, I just want him to live in his world, as normal people. Idiot or genius, as long as he's happy and not like an 'alien' being studied and researched, that's my greatest wish as a mother and the real reason why I refused."

Life is about fighting and needs to be fought! Fight the disease! Fight against adversity! Fight against fate! Fight against heaven, fight against the earth, fight against people! Struggle in the struggle, to achieve the ideal! Break through the ties, and that's when one has a new life beyond!
