How is the 'child prodigy' who remembered hundreds of phone numbers and flags of 200 countries at the age of 3 doing now?

Appearing in the program 'Super Intelligence Vietnam 2019', this boy once became a phenomenon because of his extraordinary memory.

Tuan Minh has been called a "child prodigy" since he was 2 years old.

Pham Tuan Minh was born in 2008 in Bac Ninh. In 2013, he became famous for his extraordinary memory. At the age of 2, he knew the flags of all the countries in the world by heart and had the ability to memorize long strings of numbers.

At the age of 3, Tuan Minh could read books and newspapers, remember all the names of electronics companies, hundreds of phone numbers, and flags of more than 200 countries in the world.

By the age of 4, the boy had even memorized the perpetual calendar. Just ask Tuan Minh about any day of the year and he would know exactly what day it was and convert it to the lunar calendar in just a few seconds.

After a while, Tuan Minh attracted attention when he confirmed that he could no longer remember the perpetual calendar. Explaining this, Tuan Minh's mother said that he no longer studied the perpetual calendar so he gradually forgot.

Tuan Minh's interests also changed over time. Instead of learning about the calendar, he turned to history and football. In 2017, Tuan Minh became passionate about football and had a phenomenal memory in this field.

In 2019, Tuan Minh appeared in the program Super Intelligence Vietnam . In the program, the boy impressed with his ability to remember events and football history from the 19th century to the present.

After 6 years, Tuan Minh is now 17 years old. He is studying at Ly Thai To High School, Bac Ninh . Because he is a private person, Tuan Minh hardly uses social networks and shares his own pictures. Tuan Minh's life is still normal and simple like his peers.
