brief Introduction of the content

The story tells that charles gordon was treated unfairly by his parents and the environment because of his congenital mental retardation. But he is pure and kind, thinks everything in the world is beautiful, and regards the bakery as a good friend. Knowing that he was not smart enough to meet his mother's expectations, he became the subject of two scientists' experiments and underwent brain surgery with algie Nong, a real experimental mouse.

Gordon gradually became a genius from a mental retardation, but his life fell from the clouds into the dark abyss-anxiety, anxiety, paranoia and suspicion. He found that the real society is so ugly, human nature is not sincere and pure, and sensitive thoughts bring him wisdom and tangled pain.

After all, this incomplete experiment is doomed to failure. When Gordon's intelligence reached its peak, he knew that the experiment was doomed to failure. After all kinds of emotional changes, he tried his best to find out the reason. After he successfully completed the research of this failed experiment, his intelligence gradually declined and he rediscovered his original essence-distressing stupidity.
