Face Blindness Observation Report

After watching "Phantom Chase", Li Xiyuan turned off the video player and frowned dissatisfied.

"Phantom Chase" is a film about face-blind patients. Li Xiyuan originally thought that he could find a lot of resonance from it, but after watching the whole plot, he only had a strong feeling of being cheated-the director is definitely not face-blind He doesn't understand the true feelings of people with face blindness.

Prosopagnosia is also known as "face recognition disorder" or "facial amnesia". Symptoms are generally divided into two types: one is unable to see other people's faces clearly, and the other is losing recognition of other people's facial features. recognition ability.

Li Xiyuan thought he belonged to the latter. If he stared at someone, he could still see the facial features of the other person clearly, but once he closed his eyes, these features disappeared immediately.

Fortunately, Li Xiyuan is relatively optimistic and open-minded. He feels that his symptoms are not too serious. At least he can basically recognize the teachers and classmates who have been with him day and night for more than two months. The kind of person who is so serious that he can't even remember the faces of his biological parents, or even his own face, he is already much luckier.

After turning off the video player, he took off his earphones and habitually glanced at his phone, only to find that there were several text messages in it, all of which were sent to him by his classmates.

——"Xi Yuan, I'm going to the student union at noon, maybe I won't be able to make it in time for lunch, please bring me a lunch box."

——"Xi Yuan, please help me order the introduction to sociology class in the afternoon."

——"Xiyuan..."

Li Xiyuan is recognized as a good old man in the class, so there is an endless stream of people who ask him for help. Li Xiyuan almost always refuses to come, not because he is naturally selfless and willing to help others, but because he regards this kind of thing as his own life a kind of practice.Building a good relationship with classmates can help alleviate the social barriers caused by prosopagnosia.

He would not tell others that at the beginning of his freshman year, he volunteered to help the class teacher collect the materials of the whole class. The real purpose was to secretly copy a copy, cut out their one-inch photos and write their names on the back.

Every night he hid under the quilt, flipped through the photos with a flashlight, memorized the facial features and names of these students one by one, and trained himself to report the names according to the facial features.

For others, things that can be remembered naturally, he has to pay ten times or even a hundred times the effort, and such efforts cannot be compared with outsiders.Because of prosopagnosia, it is not something to be proud of.

Turning to the last text message, he paused for a moment.The sender was not a classmate in his class, but an online distribution planner who had gotten close recently, so close to the point of exchanging mobile phone numbers.

"Huahua, go to Q." The message from the planner was as short and concise as ever.

It was only then that Li Xiyuan realized that he had been so absorbed in watching the movie just now that he forgot the fact of opening Q.After logging into QQ, messages from planning students came one after another.

One fatal move: Huahua, where?

One fatal move: Huahua, if you are here, Q me.

One fatal move: Fuck, did you really escape?Shouldn't you be strolling online at this point in time?

Huamanlou: Let me say it again seriously, you can call me Huamanlou, Xiaoman, or Xiaolou, but don’t call me Huahua!

One fatal move: ⊙▽⊙Huahua, you finally appeared!

Hua Man Lou: ... Are you taking my words as air?

One fatal trick: Huahua, urgent notice, at [-]:[-] tonight, YY room XXXXXX, there will be a birthday song party for the god of flowers in the fog, you go to be a guest guest?

Li Xiyuan was stunned for a moment, who is looking at flowers in the fog?A first-line CV that has rapidly become popular in the online distribution industry in recent years, a purple god with hundreds of thousands of Weibo fans, with countless characters, a relaxed voice, and a flexible personality. .

Of course, Li Xiyuan has heard of the name of Hua Ye, but he has no connection with this little CV who has been struggling in the second and third lines and has been half popular, because the clubs he belongs to are different. There is no chance of cooperation, let alone any direct contact and friendship.

Why did such a high-ranking god invite him to be a guest at the birthday song party?This is not scientific.

Huamanlou: Why did you ask me to go to Huamanlou's birthday song party in the fog?

One deadly trick: This is it. The sister paper who is the chief planner of the birthday song party has some friendship with me. She said that the CV who was supposed to sing at the song party suddenly caught a bad cold and couldn't speak, but something happened temporarily. Well, their playlist has already been finalized and announced, and it will cause a lot of trouble to temporarily withdraw this show, so why not find a CV to replace it temporarily, anyway, it's just a song.I thought about it. Among the CVs I know, Huahua is the only one who can sing well, so I directly recommend you.Huahua, you will agree, right? You are not ruthlessly rejecting me, right?

Li Xiyuan looked at the screen, speechless.It's all because he has done too many good people in reality, and he has become a habit.Now that the good old man's name has been spread on the Internet, it's no wonder that he was the first to think of asking him for help.

Hua Manlou: ...Is it really good to replace it temporarily?The name doesn't match the name, I will be sprayed to death by that CV fan, right?

One deadly trick: Don’t worry, fortunately, the planner had the foresight, but only made out the time of the program list, without indicating who the performers were, so only a few of us know the inside story about temporary replacements.

Hua Manlou looked at the class schedule. Today is Tuesday and there is no class in the evening.He considered it for a while, and agreed with a good temper.

One fatal move: Huahua, I love you to death!

Hua Man Lou: Again!Don't call me Hua Hua! ! !

After the two chatted a few more gags, Li Xiyuan sent a fatal trick to send the schedule to his mailbox, then closed his laptop and went out.

Just as he closed the bedroom door, Li Xiyuan met an acquainted face in the corridor.

"Xi Yuan, are you going to the cafeteria?" The other party greeted him very familiarly.

"Yes." Li Xiyuan smiled gently, but secretly he was racking his brains, who is this guy?

"By the way," the other party suddenly lowered his voice, telling him the gossip, "I heard that for the afternoon "Introduction to Sociology", the teacher will assign us course papers instead of the final written exam."

"Instead of the written test?" Li Xiyuan was stunned for a moment, a little in disbelief, "There is such a good thing?"

"Yeah, I heard from a senior who took this class last year that this teacher doesn't like giving out test papers, but likes to ask students to hand in course papers. One paper gets one course credit, which is very profitable."

"Yes, I earned it." Li Xiyuan echoed with a smile.

After the boy left, Li Xiyuan realized belatedly that he was Zhang Yang, who practiced "Introduction to Sociology" from the class next door.When I was taking this class last week, the two of them sat at the same table and chatted very speculatively.

After only seeing each other for a week, he completely forgot about the other person's face. Fortunately, he handled it well and did not show any flaws. Li Xiyuan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with lingering fear.

He clearly remembers that the first time he realized that he was different from ordinary people was in the third grade of elementary school.

On the way home from school, he felt that a girl walking towards him seemed familiar. When he was wondering where he had seen her, the girl smiled sweetly at him and called out his name in a crisp voice.

He replied vaguely, but he was very shocked in his heart—this girl is so amazing, she actually knows his name!

However, when he returned to school the next day, he discovered that the girl was sitting in the front row of him.He stares at the backs of people's heads every day, but they don't know each other when they meet each other.

The author has something to say:

——I would like to dedicate this document to myself and all the suffering compatriots in the world suffering from prosopagnosia.
