in
china there's a farmer who doesn't know
how to use the internet but he knows how
to build
robots that can move and robots
that can greet yeah
who is this farmer why did he build
these robots and how did he end up as a
university professor
without education
[Music]
when i was in china i heard about the
iron man of china
who taught himself how to make robots
without going to college
high school or middle school
i was so curious i had to see him for
myself
let's go i'm going to make a long video
about china bro
so i got in a car with my friends left
beijing
and arrived in this remote village where
most people
are poor farmers it's a place where
nobody
speaks english
looks like just any old farmer but if
you step inside
his home you'll find dozens of robots
made from really basic objects
that can walk talk pour water
[Music]
right chinese and even
carry him around like a taxi
yes these robots
might look weird but to this guy they're
like his children
he even named them after himself
all of this started 30 years ago
when wu was a young man because he was
poor
he had to drop out of school but he was
obsessed with building robots
so he taught himself without using books
without using the internet somehow wu
managed to create not just one or two
but a hundred
robots that can do a hundred different
things
all of this was not easy one day
as he was building a new robot his
equipment caught on fire
and burned down his house his family had
nowhere to live
his wife threatened to leave him wu had
to take out
more debt to rebuild the house he
thought of giving up but at the end of
the day
he couldn't abandon his children
[Music]
and 30 years later things improved and
his love
for robots paid off he entered in a
robot competition
and won first place and then he won
another and another
the rest of china finally took notice
he got on the news got paid for his
robots
and got the recognition he deserved
after years of struggle wu paid back his
debt
and won back his wife's heart hey
you're great bye-bye now he's no longer
farming
he sells robots for a living and teaches
online through the internet which by the
way
he still doesn't know how to use
this chinese iron man and his robot
children
are living proof that as long as you
follow your passion to the very
end even if it's hard even if the whole
world turns their back on you
eventually you will succeed see you
tomorrow
nice
