Recently, my colleague Eleanor Olcott took a trip to China's southern Guangdong province.
She traveled to a tiny farming village to visit the childhood home of Liang Wenfeng,
the founder of the artificial intelligence startup DeepSeek.
We've just arrived in Liang Wenfeng's village of Mililing and there are lots of signs welcoming him home,
lots of red banners saying that we celebrate your success.
That success Eleanor's talking about has to do with something very big that happened last month.
You probably recall this startup DeepSeek shocked the world by proving that China could be competitive on AI.
They showed they could potentially compete with the likes of American companies such as Open AI or Meta.
We've just walked past Liang Wenfeng's house.
You can hear firecrackers going off in the background
because it's Chinese New Year and people singing karaoke as well.
Liang and his parents left yesterday apparently escorted by a bunch of security guards
because they are being inundated by visitors from all over Guangdong coming to pay their respects.
