Although many dancers may fall and be hurt or killed, the king thought the most important job should be given to the bravest and skilled dancer． What a strange way! Then when the king watched, I tied each corner of my handkerchief (手帕) to a strong stick． I pushed the four sticks into the ground． My handkerchief was now under the rope but above the ground． “Your majesty,” I said, “any dancer who falls will now land on my handkerchief and not get hurt．” “You are a wise big one”, said the king． I gently put them on my hand and held it beside the rope so they had a good view of the dancers． One very skilled performer turned several cart wheels (车轮) on the road． Later that king made this man one of his chief advisers．

①Do you know DeepSeek? It’s a really popular AI company these days． Let’s find out how it became so successful．

②DeepSeek came from High-Flyer, a Chinese hedge fund (对冲基金)． At first, High-Flyer used AI for stock (股票) trading． But its bosses thought AI could do more． So, they started DeepSeek a few years ago． Unlike many tech companies, DcepSeck didn’t make products right away． It put the money from stock trading into research (研究)。

③After that, DeepSeek’s scientists worked really hard． They made a great AI model． This model is as strong as the models of big American companies and even better in some ways． It can answer questions quickly． It can also help people write and draw． Even though the US tried to stop China’s AI development by not selling some important chips (芯片), DeepSeek still made great progress (进步)． This shows that if we work hard on research, we can solve any big problem．

④DeepSeek’s unique leadership (领导) also plays an important role． DeepSeek’s leader is Liang Wenfeng． He graduated from Zhejiang University． He runs the company and his team in a special way． Liang thinks Chinese tech companies should think more about research, not just making money． He doesn’t care too much about how long a project should take． He likes to hire(雇佣)people who are not from the computer field, like poets． These people bring new ideas． They help the AI model write poems and answer difficult questions from the college entrance exam．

⑦In short, the rise (崛起) of DeepSeek shows us that if we have special ideas, are not afraid of difficulties, and work hard on research, we can be successful in the tech world．
