DeepSeek founder Liang Wenfeng's photo exposed: He passed Tsinghua University with a score of 806 but chose Zhejiang University

During the 2026 college entrance examination, the past experience of DeepSeek founder Liang Wenfeng was unearthed by netizens - in 2002, he became the top scorer in the college entrance examination in Zhanjiang City, Guangdong Province with a score of 806.

According to the report "The Top Scorer in the College Entrance Examination: A Confident Smile Is Bright" that year, Liang Wenfeng's father was the deputy director of primary school education, and his mother was a primary school teacher. In junior high school, his academic performance was not very outstanding. He preferred science subjects, especially physics and mathematics, and had a wide range of interests - he loved football, table tennis and chess. He began to be exposed to computers in junior high school.

The report mentioned that Liang Wenfeng's college entrance examination scores met the admission score of Tsinghua University, but his first choice was Zhejiang University's electronic information engineering major.

This choice of "crossing the Tsinghua line but choosing Zhejiang University" formed an interesting contrast with Liang Wenfeng's strong desire for control in DeepSeek financing in the future, "without voting rights or board seats" - from choosing a university at the age of 18 to choosing an investor at the age of 40, "playing by his own rules" seems to be his consistent style.
