Dr. Weiqi Wang is a scientist and an author who travelled the world. After he graduated in Beijing, he went to University of Oxford and obtained his PhD degree. During that period, he travelled Europe and started writing the Code of Rainbow Series. Then he went to the east coast of the US and spent one year in Rhode Island as a postdoctoral researcher. Next, he drove a car across the country for Stanford University, where he worked as a data scientist and his responsibilities included multiple projects with NIH (national institute of health).
Thanks to his scientific background and passion in magic fantasy, Weiqi has a theory that science and magic could be connected in a certain way. He tends to believe that the invention of the word magic was to describe the supernatural phenomena that ancient people couldn’t understand. One typical example is that the lightning bolt spell in magic settings looks the same with a supernatural phenomena in the reality, named ball-lightning. This magic-like yet realistic phenomena has still not been well explained by the current state of science, meaning that we must admit the limitation of the science and stay open-minded.
Therefore, Weiqi took advantage of his knowledge in science and put his theory into the Code of Rainbow series, a teen fantasy book series that nurtures the bloom of MAGIC in the soil of SCIENCE. The magic in this enormous world is different from the "traditional" concept, because it's backed up by realistic, physical scientific theories. As the fun story goes on, readers will enjoy the unique charm of science and magic merging into each other - something that has rarely been attempted before. To facilitate children's reading, Weiqi made efforts to make the transition from magic to science happen bit by bit as the story went, so the early books do read like a "mainstream" magic fantasy.
The Code of Rainbow Series has been greatly appreciated by Weiqi's readers (100k+ in number) so far.
