The appearance on television of a man capable of solving highly complex mathematical problems in his head has prompted experts to call for better care facilities for savants.
Zhou Wei, a 22-year-old man from Wutai county, Shanxi province, appeared on Jiangsu TV on Jan 17.
During the Chinese version of Super Brain, he displayed mathematical skills that go far beyond normal human ability and which are commonly associated with autism.
