Zhou Shen once revealed his experience before becoming famous in an interview:
When he was a student, because he spoke in a high tone and resembled a girl, he was called "neither male nor female" by his classmates, and some people even called him "perverted" and "monster".
Such prejudices filled his entire adolescence with pain, and the whole person became inferior, sensitive and depressed.
Until now, he has habitually spoken in a low voice:
"I can't learn how to relax my throat anymore."
There is no right or wrong in many things that come naturally.
But as long as there is prejudice, there are people who encounter malice for no reason:
"A boy still wears makeup, and he's too feminine!"
"Why are boys still afraid of cockroaches?"
"Take selfies every day in the circle of friends, green tea."
"Female driver, no wonder..."
But when prejudice envelops everyone like a tidal wave, who can prove that they are not the "outlier"?
Everyone in this world is wounded, some wounds can be healed, and some prejudices have no cure.
The "skeleton" girl, scolded to death
In 2006, a 17-year-old girl named Liz in the United States innocently suffered a crazy online violence.
That day, Liz was brushing a short video on YouTube and accidentally saw a video titled "The Ugliest Woman in the World."
Curious, she clicked on it, and she found that the girl being ridiculed in the video was herself.
The video was viewed more than 4 million times, and there were hundreds of messages full of anger and bitterness:
"Why don't you die?"
"How did her parents raise that thing?"
"You shouldn't be born."
"You'd better put a bag over your head when you go out, so as not to scare people."
Others suggested that she kill herself with a gun.
The malice from the stranger was beyond Liz's imagination, leaving her terrified and overwhelmed.
Liz's mother reported the video, which was eventually taken down, but the uploader sent Liz a private message:
"I'm not going to give up.
Now that my video has been taken down, are you satisfied?
I will upload again and again. This is nothing more than an objective fact. ”
The abuser is completely unaware of how hurtful and ridiculous his language is.
This time, Liz chose to fight back.
In 2013 she began filming videos to explain:
"Hello everyone, I'm Liz.
I have some kind of strange disease that cannot be diagnosed, and living every day is a battle for me..."
From this day on, Liz became a YouTube blogger, chatting with everyone in the video, showing her love and dreams.
Slowly, more and more people paid attention to her, and encouragement began to be more than sarcastic.
In 2014, when the turning point came, Liz received an invitation to the TED Talk, which exceeded 12 million views.
By this opportunity, Liz became a well-known social activist, invited to lecture around the world.
After the surge in online exposure, Liz received a call from a doctor asking her to go to the hospital for treatment.
The final diagnosis was that she suffered from the extremely rare "Marfan-Progeria-Fat Metabolism Disorder Syndrome" due to a genetic mutation.
This disease, so that she was born only 1.2 kilograms of weight, the whole body is "skin and bone" appears Zou Baba, the food she eats can hardly be converted into fat, eating an excess of food every day, still thin, like a "skeleton".
The head and eyes are too large, resulting in overall incongruity and looking strange.
Her toes could not be straightened, in order to stand up, the doctor fixed a metal plate on her feet, fixed each of her toes with bone nails, and when the toe position was fixed, they were pulled out one by one, and the pain was unimaginable.
In addition, she has undergone more than 20 surgeries in her intestines, ears, eyes and other areas.
But these surgeries only temporarily guaranteed her a normal life.
Congenital misfortune left Liz with few friends in her childhood.
Fortunately, this girl did not leave any haze under the love of her parents.
Now that Liz has fully presented her true self to the world, she has earned respect and understanding.
After becoming famous, Liz focused on opposing cyberbullying and was involved in pushing for the passage of the Anti-Bullying In Schools Act.
The girl crawled out of hell covered in scars, not forgetting to turn around and do her best to build a paradise for others.
There's a line in Harry Potter that says it well: "Each of us has a light and dark side, but what matters is which side we choose." ”
"Faceless" girl, known as a monster
This era is sometimes strange, and people who are too good-looking are questioned for plastic surgery; ugly people are ridiculed and scolded to death.
In Japan, there is a post-90s girl named Kiyo ka, she was born without ear canal, no cheekbones, her eyes drooping outwards, her chin short, and her mouth deformed.
And her airway is small, her hearing is impaired, and her pronunciation is not clear.
It's a condition called "Terrecher Collins Syndrome," also known as "facelessness."
Because the bones on the face are shorter than those of ordinary people, the patient's eyes, ears, cheekbones and chin are deformed.
One in every 25,000-50,000 people.
From the age of 2, she had more than 16 surgeries combined to barely survive.
Keeyō has no pinna in both ears and can only be shaped surgically.
After the operation, she suffered an ear injury and needed to wear a bone conduction hearing aid at all times, and she was unable to speak loudly due to osprey bone problems.
But these are not the most painful, as she gets older, Keiki also notices the discussion and ridicule of others, and she wears a mask when she goes out.
After going to school, she was called a "freak" by her classmates, some people said that she was "scary, like mental retardation", and someone always said directly to her: "You are so terrible." ”
The world seemed to have rejected her integration from the moment she was born.
But Keiki didn't want to be an outsider.
At the age of 17, Keiki was ridiculed by his students on his way out of school.
Her mother advised her, "You might as well go and tell everyone yourself." ”
Then there was the speech that changed her life.
On that day, Keita stood on the podium and spoke his heart to the 700 teachers and students of the school:
"I obviously didn't do anything, why would others say I'm terrible!"
Right now, the thing I want to say the most is: Please don't say hurtful things and boast of humor.
I want to be strong, even in college, I will be brave enough to let people know about my disease. ”
Everyone in the audience listened with bated breath.
The mother listened from the sidelines, and after the speech of Ji Daixiang, after the mother and daughter met offstage, the two hugged each other and cried, and many people wept for being moved by her.
After this speech, she learned to take the initiative to show her true self and was no longer afraid to communicate with people.
At the age of 22, after graduating from Keiko University, she persuaded her parents to leave their hometown and join the workforce.
She wanted to live on her own and be a useful person.
So Keshiro volunteered for the Social Welfare Class, where she was responsible for distributing handbooks for the disabled and providing services for people with disabilities.
Keeyoko loves her life now, she dresses up beautifully every day, and the room is decorated in a beautiful pink.
She recorded a video and said to her mother, "Mom, thank you for giving me life. ”
She took pictures with her friends and smiled happily ever after.
The world may be absurd and cruel, but Keiki's greatest fortune is that she was born into a loving family.
Her parents never thought of her being disgusted or even abandoned. Kedai Xiang's mother said:
"I think it makes sense to conceive and give birth to her in October, so no matter what, we must raise her as an adult."
This love gave Keiko a sense of security, and she was able to cope with all the absurdities for the rest of her life.
Human sorrow and joy are not the same, some people have a stable life, some people are flashy, and some people try their best to live like people.
If you have not experienced the lives of others, then please be merciful.
Cerebral palsy boss, known as "fool"
Not long ago, a real-life "Forrest Gump" appeared in the CCTV camera.
He said, "My first name is Fool." ”
His name is Lu Hong, an entrepreneur with an annual income of tens of millions in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, and he is famous for another identity - cerebral palsy.
When Lu Hong was 10 months old, he caused toxic encephalitis due to high fever, which led to cerebellar nerve disorders and became cerebral palsy.
Facial muscles convulsed and twisted from time to time, hands could not be straightened, speech was not fluent, and walking was shaky.
His childhood was full of gloom.
When he was a child, Lu Hong always attracted the attention of others when he walked on the street, and his mother told him that "this is because everyone likes you."
As he grew older, Lu Hong realized: "This is not attention, this is cold eyes and ridicule. ”
"My classmates imitated me, and I wasn't allowed to attend pedigree class."
Gradually, Lu Hong's personality became withdrawn.
After graduating from vocational high school, a factory leader taunted him in front of Lu Hong's mother:
Look at your son like this, what can he do, I have a dog better than him! He's not even as good as a dog. ”
It was summer, but Lu Hong felt as cold as an ice cellar.
At the second factory, the doorman, who thought he was asking for food, threw a dime into his water cup.
Worldly prejudice forced him to find another way out.
Unable to find a job, Lu Hong decided to start his own business, repairing bicycles and running newsstands, phone booths and disc stores.
"Slowly, people will call me Xiao Lu or Master Lu." Lu Hong recalled.
By chance, Lu Hong met a friend while playing a game and followed him to learn photo album making.
Lu Hong tried to make an electronic photo album for the wedding, but he did not expect that this was a business opportunity, earning more than 100,000 yuan a year.
In 2012, Lu Hongpan went down to a photo studio, learned ps, photography, took ID photos, and opened an online store, taking advantage of the Internet to do business throughout the country.
From a few orders a day to export to the UK, France, the USA.
In 2020, the factory opened by Lu Hong recorded a turnover of 13 million yuan.
"Now, they all call me Boss Lu."
Like the saying in the movie Forrest Gump: "Life is like a box of chocolates of all kinds, you never know what you will get." ”
After the success, Lu Hong realized that there were more disabled people like him, silent in all corners of society, and he was determined to "rescue" them.
Lu Hong said: "I want them to create value through their own efforts. ”
Most of the workers in Luhong Factory are disabled -
Deaf and dumb can also operate the machine, leg disabilities can also do e-commerce customer service, everyone can create value.
Lu Hong proved one thing:
Everything grows, there are countless gestures; the crowd is bustling, there are endless ways to live, give time, and everyone will find his own stage.
The philosopher Schopenhauer said: "The obstacle that prevents people from discovering the truth is not an illusory illusion of things, nor a defect in people's reasoning ability, but a prejudice that people have accumulated before." ”
Our world has countless prejudices, and everything that can become our label has become the source of prejudice -
Beauty discrimination is ugly, urban people discriminate against rural people, high education discrimination is low education, hands and feet are healthy discrimination is disabled, local people discriminate against outsiders...
Everyone seems accustomed to turning a blind eye to prejudices that hurt them, but instead turn to inflicting harm on those who are at a disadvantage than themselves.
We are all trapped by the accumulated prejudices of the times, with fear and malice.
However, outside the high wall of prejudice, there is a beautiful world, and we should think about each individual from the perspective of the overall situation of life.
But because the needle can't get into your own body, you never know how much it hurts, and others become hell.
Finally, I would like to share a line from the movie "Miracle Boy":
"Be kind, because everyone's life is not easy."
