recently, mingming, a young man with cerebral palsy who has almost lost his motor function, defeated the "tiger pioneer" in "black myth" with the help of an air-blowing assistive device. the video has been played more than 3 million times, and netizens in the barrage were shocked and gave thumbs up, "those who play with their mouths are better than me", "and you, my friend, are the real monkey king", "your destiny". yangzi evening news/ziniu news reporters interviewed mingming and listened to his story of "facing destiny".
understanding the world through games
substitute the monkey king in black myth
mingming told the reporter that he first came into contact with games when he was in primary school. at that time, other children could go out to play, but he could only watch. his father felt sorry for him, so he took him to his friend's house to play on the computer. at that time, there were no auxiliary equipment, so he could only look at the screen and command while his father operated the computer. "later, i gradually used my chin and nose to touch the mouse and keyboard, and slowly i was able to play some simple games."
at first, mingming could only play some turn-based games that "test brain power but don't require hand speed." later, when i got a mouth-blown controller, i tried other types of games little by little.
mingming said that due to his physical condition, it is difficult for him to go out. his understanding of the outside world is limited to movies and books. however, he can only play the role of a "spectator" when watching movies and reading books, lacking interaction with the world. "i can only trace other people's stories in movies and books, but i can write my own story in games. for me, action games like black myth are really difficult. although i fail again and again, i enjoy the process of constantly growing through failure, figuring out the rules of the boss's moves, and finally defeating the boss."
a mingming admitted that due to his physical disability, it was easy for him to immerse himself in the game, as if he were the omnipotent "monkey king" in the game.
for mingming, games are not only a form of entertainment, but also a job as a broadcaster and a way for him to understand the world. "in the game, i went back to the tang dynasty to experience the difficulties of the journey to the west (black myth), traveled to the american west in the 19th century to feel the grievances between gangs (red dead redemption), and went to the japanese warring states period to be a ninja and complete his mission (sekiro). i think games have more meanings for disabled players like me."
face your destiny
you need to compile the code before playing the game
before entering the game "black myth", mingming has to face his own "destiny". he cannot use the mouse, keyboard or game controller. there are only three air tubes in front of him. he needs to control the character by blowing and inhaling at different rhythms.
mingming spent two nights studying the game logic, and then compiled a set of "barrier-free" blowing and inhaling combination codes for himself:
tap: medium blow;
dodge: inhale mid-breath;
forward: blow in the middle right:
sprint: inhale in the middle right;
lock: blow in the left middle;
taking medicine: blowing slowly in the left middle;
…………
this morse code-like blowing and inhaling combination is quite difficult to use, and even more difficult to master, but it is already mingming's best choice. in the actual game process, the situation will only be more complicated. the combos that ordinary players can perform casually require a complex blowing and inhaling process for mingming. blowing the wrong tube is commonplace, and sometimes normal breathing will trigger the operation by mistake, directly leading to the failure of the game.
when a mingming defeated the "tiger pioneer", the whole live broadcast room was boiling with excitement. "this is the real way to face destiny," "and you, my friend, are the real monkey king," "the monkey king's 81 difficulties combined are not as difficult as yours," "it's better than what i can do with my hands." this video has been played more than 3 million times and has become a hot search.
at present, a mingming has defeated two other heavyweight bosses in the game, "yinhu" and "little yellow dragon", which have stumped many players. the next thing he has to face is the gatekeeper boss "erlang shen".
a mingming told reporters, "black myth is the last domestically produced stand-alone game i have played so far. i feel that the game graphics and boss action design are both first-rate. when i first started the game, i made preparations for both situations. i thought that if i couldn't beat it, i would just use the modifier and enjoy the scenery in the game. later, as i played, i felt that it was okay to beat it directly, so i chose the normal mode to challenge it." in a mingming's view, it is only a matter of time before he can beat the game.
passed the national second-level psychological counselor exam
i want to show you a richer side of people with disabilities.
in 2021, mingming received the blowing controller. "the operation is extremely complicated. the instruction manual alone is more than 90 pages long, all in english. there are no tutorials online, so i can only figure it out by myself. after studying for more than half a month, i barely mastered some skills. so i made these into simple chinese video tutorials and put them online. i did it for two months. i didn't expect that it really helped some people who had the same experience as me. this made me feel the value of being a self-media up master for the first time."
in 2023, a mingming started live streaming with the encouragement of his fans. "at that time, i was very worried about how the audience would react to a disabled person appearing on the screen. i didn't expect to receive encouragement from netizens at bilibili on the first day of the broadcast. this gave me the courage to take a step forward and stick to it." today, a mingming is a full-time up host at bilibili with more than 50,000 fans. in addition to games, he also posts some creative jokes and live videos, and has been a movie narrator for a while. he wants to use this to break the outside world's stereotypes about people with disabilities.
in his spare time, mingming would watch some tv dramas, from which he learned about psychology. the more he learned, the more interesting it became. later, he started reading professional books. during his study, he met a very good teacher, with whose help he passed the exam and obtained a certificate. "i haven't decided whether i will work in this industry in the future, but i will continue to study in depth."
talking about the future, mingming said frankly, "i feel confused and anxious when i think about the future, and later i just stop thinking about it. i will focus on the present, make the best videos and live broadcasts possible, bring positive energy and good mood to everyone, and let them all show a richer side of people with disabilities."
