DeepSeek founder’s old Tibet story resurfaces as an AI-culture meme

A meme-style post revisits an alleged old Weibo post from DeepSeek founder Liang Wenfeng about getting stranded in Tibet for a week while traveling alone.
The screenshot says he drove into a remote Tibetan area, photographed wildlife and landscapes, got stuck for a week, and eventually escaped while the car was left behind. The poster treats it as a legendary origin story and contrasts it with Liang’s later move from solo wandering to leading an AI company.
