Homeless Anhui Man’s Cryptic Grafitti Decoded By Netizens

A homeless Chinese man in Anhui province known for his mysterious writings composed of strange symbols and diagrams.

From Mop:

History’s most niu beggar!! “Martian language” writing Susong “Mad Scientist Brother” —- Susong street genius

As long as you are a post-90’s generation living in Susong County in Anhui Province, you should know this person. Since we were young we grew up seeing his various type of “Martian Language” written on streets and sidewalks. To this day no one knows what he is writing, of which include all sorts of calculation formulas, periodic table symbols, and other “Martian Language”.

With the continuing development of Susong County, many old houses were torn down and now the places where “Mad Scientist Brother” can write his “Martian Language” are few and far between. Although people in Susong once took note of him, to this day he still hasn’t received any help. Therefore, I’m posting about him onto the powerful discussion forum that is Mop, so that everyone across the nation will know that Susong has such a “Martian Language” writing “Mad Scientist Brother”, in hopes that he will receive help from kindhearted people, to give him a place to write his “Martian Language”.

wuxinzi99:

There are many good ones that should be captured on camera. I’ve seen him writing ever since I was really small, and I used to think it was some religious stuff.

yjinf:

Periodic table symbols, along with a few electric circuit diagrams, probably a Tsinghua graduate.

不干即摸:

The truth is here. This person is well educated.

A Chinese netizen circles and highlights the words "Cultural Revolution" indicating that this is the "truth" or story behind this homeless Anhui man.

七彩之南:

[He] may well be a genius like Einstein, and its only us who do not understand it yet.

卡巴厮基:

Even have electric current diagrams…this grandpa was once a teacher right?

yundyluck:

Rubbish~ it’s just a bunch of chemical element charts and traditional characters, and some simple electric circuit diagrams, yet you call it “Martian Language”. Fuck, I can immediately tell that LZ is uncultured/uneducated ~~ LZ probably didn’t graduated from elementary school, otherwise he would know this~~!

緈褔嘚謊誩:

Correct, traditional form of chemical element chart!!! Looks like he is a cultured/educated man!!!

qq664250654:

Sharper than Brother Sharp.

Ingita:

Maybe thousands of years in the future…scientists will studies these [writings]… and could even come up with some predictions~!!!

同步听雨:

Seem like he was a scientist in the past, a victim of the Cultural Revolution driven mad.

淫猫狠文明:

Ah!!! I understand!!! He is warning that 2012 is almost here!!!

十号往前看:

When I was small, my classmate’s grandfather was like this, who had a good education, and supposedly was persecuted during the Culture Revolution. All day long, he pushed around a bicycle, talking about history whenever he saw someone. People all thought he was crazy, but he doesn’t ask people for food or drink. It was pretty sad! Don’t know if the old man is still alive!

纯洁的有点猥琐:

Beggars Gang gang leader, this must be the long lost secret book of ultimate martial arts. Louzhu now you can go maintain world peace.

    There a billions of people in the world, most people never contemplated that each one has their own unique story and their own perception of the world; this is true even to a beggar or the woman sweeping the street.

    Sometimes when I look at a beggar on the street I wondered about his story, what was his life like? Was he successful once? how did he end up where he is today.

    Maybe someday I’ll ask them myself.

    • Bo Wang

      If you ask a beggar in China, chances are they’re just swindlers.

  • Sunshine

    I thought the title of the article suggests that his messages have been decoded? Where are they? Or was it simply referring to the Culture Revolution thing?

    • Michael

      I thought so too

  • http://www.matthewsawtell.com Matthew A. Sawtell

    Hm… looks old enough to have had a first hand account of the “troubles” or could be another vet from “unspoken war” Question is, do the local cops really know who he is?

  • Freakboy

    Even Einstein was considered crazy. I feel this man has been touched by an unknown power and is here to give the world or at least China a message.
    message “Get off your high horse and and start seeing thing they way they are.”

    Time travel formulas. Note it down and use it well.

  • Mark

    Wish I could see more of his graffiti. But I bet he has a terribly depressing backstory. The Cultural Revolution has so many amazing and awful stories that have yet to be told

  • Airy

    much like many tragedies, the story of cultural revolution might just die off with these people. People want to move forward, rather than being reminded something sad.

  • VoiceofReason

    Some of his drawings resemble the Vimanas described in the Mahabharata, Bhagavata Purana, and the Ramayana texts of ancient India. He also seems to have grasp on Futhark & another Sanskrit-like (without the top joining line) alphabet I don’t recognize.

    Someone should house this man, as he may hold key knowledge that may benefit Humanity. Is he still alive?

  • VoiceofReason

    Stories like this man, should have more attention…

  • Lee-Shuan

    he’s an artist.
