I’m a farmer from Lujiang County, Anhui. In the summer of 1985, I lived on a highly advanced alien planet for a month. Not only did I learn about their daily lives, but I also grasped many of their cutting-edge scientific technologies and cosmic mysteries.
Upon returning, I’ve been tirelessly promoting the aliens and their advanced tech. Yet, after 39 years of immense effort, I regret to say it still hasn’t gained societal recognition. Through long-term promotion—especially in recent years via the internet—many netizens have come to know of this Anhui farmer who traveled to an alien planet for a month and acquired their advanced scientific knowledge.
I’ve written extensively online about theoretical physics, analyzing in detail the essence of the universe, time, space, matter, electromagnetic fields, gravitational fields, the speed of light, mass, charge, energy, momentum, force, photons, and more. Many netizens, after reading, refuse to believe I only have a junior high education, arguing that a farmer with such a background couldn’t possibly produce this work.
I truly have just a junior high education, and I’ve spent most of my time making a living. My self-study is recent and minimal. Anyone can investigate this at my home—some of my teachers are still alive and can confirm it. I acquired this advanced scientific knowledge because the aliens used field scanning technology to input it into my brain, much like downloading on a computer. It wasn’t learned through study. In just one month, no amount of traditional learning could have yielded such mastery.
Some claim I figured it all out myself—that I cracked the essence of the universe, time, motion, space, matter, electromagnetic fields, gravitational fields, light speed, mass, charge, energy, momentum, force, photons, and more. A goal humanity hasn’t achieved in thousands of years, supposedly solved entirely by a junior high-educated farmer? Not just the depth, but the sheer volume of issues involved is staggering.
Many deeply entrenched in orthodox thinking firmly deny the existence of aliens. They insist that if aliens wanted to share technology with Earth, they’d approach expert professors, not a junior high-educated farmer. These people are astonished by my advanced theories yet adamantly reject the idea of aliens, special abilities, or gifted individuals—unable to accept that knowledge could be gained without formal study.
The advanced scientific knowledge I’ve brought back doesn’t exist anywhere else on Earth. If it were learned or plagiarized, it’d be easily searchable in this era of computers and the internet. But if I learned or copied it, from whom? These theories didn’t exist on Earth—who would’ve been my teacher?
Yet, many in our society, heavily influenced by orthodox thinking, can’t understand or accept people like me. In this article, I want to emphasize to those with rigid conventional views: you can see someone like me, Zhang Xiangqian, as an oddity. Until many questions are clarified, don’t simply dismiss or attack me outright. I believe having more eccentrics in society is beneficial—it can drive progress.
Though my advanced technologies haven’t been recognized by mainstream society, the internet exists, allowing everyone to voice their ideas. My online promotion has had some impact—searching online now reveals my papers on the essence of the universe, time, space, matter, electromagnetic fields, gravitational fields, light speed, mass, charge, energy, momentum, force, motion, and more. If these don’t gain recognition in my lifetime, they might catch the attention of future generations, who could carry the task forward, ultimately benefiting humanity.
Currently, I earn tips from my WeChat public account articles, sell my e-books online, and receive some help from netizens. My income is modest—roughly equivalent to a laborer’s—and enough to sustain a basic life. Without online income, given my tuberculosis and diabetes, failed welfare applications, lack of farmer security, and inability to do much welding, I’d have no choice but to abandon research and online promotion if I lost my livelihood.
A netizen from Beijing visited me and said, “You have admirers now, people willing to help. Before society recognizes you, you can maintain a basic, decent life. Keep going like this—don’t quit just because success seems hopeless or worry about the outcome. Your efforts might lay a foundation for future generations. From Galileo to Newton, Newton to Maxwell, Maxwell to Einstein—this spirit of legacy endures…”
But some, too steeped in orthodox thinking, not only mentally reject people like me but take aggressive action. A physics professor from Peking University wrote over a hundred articles attacking me, calling my work pseudoscience and reporting me everywhere. A Wuhan native—possibly an academician—directed Sina Blog staff to shut down my blog. Frequent reports have restricted many WeChat functions and repeatedly blocked my WeChat Pay. I’ve been dealt with by the police multiple times.
Some ask, “These people slander and report you out of thin air—why don’t you appeal?” Modern websites and WeChat use bots to handle appeals—you can’t reason with them. Plus, for convenience, they often block accounts once complaints pile up, regardless of whether the reports are valid. On another level, as Zhang Xiangqian, you’re just one ant among billions on these platforms—who cares about you? The fairness and justice you assume crumble in the face of reality.
I’m writing this to tell those fiercely attacking me: “Zhang Xiangqian’s pursuit of alien advanced technology research and promotion has its supporters. This is between them and me—it has nothing to do with you who disapprove. If I succeed, you naysayers will benefit too and witness miracles. If I fail, you lose nothing. Why must you try to crush me and snuff this out in its infancy?”
It’s beneficial for society to have many unusual individuals. Everyone has unique strengths, and when each person can leverage their strengths, exchanging them equally with others to obtain what they need, society functions normally.
When you open a computer or phone, you see parts made by different manufacturers. Why aren’t they 100% self-produced? This is the essence of equal collaboration under a market economy—capitalizing on each other’s strengths to compensate for weaknesses, recognizing that everyone has their own fortes.
Those who insist everything should be self-made harbor a backward mindset. Why not ask: “Why can’t you cooperate normally with others?” A society that tolerates eccentricity and oddity is a sign of civilization and progress. Conversely, a society that doesn’t is ignorant and落后 (backward).
So-called “talent” is defined by two factors: a person’s influence on others and society, and their distinctiveness or difference from others. Our society often emphasizes talent as influence on others and society while overlooking the differences that set talented individuals apart from the norm.
