"How could she possibly be 23 years old?" When the audience in the audience made a cry of surprise, when the judges in front of them showed an incredible expression while covering their mouths with their hands, Zhu Jie in the center of the stage was still full of bright smiles and was not affected in the slightest, after all, on her growth path, she had seen too many similar scenes.
On July 25, 2010, the stage of China's Got Talent welcomed a special guest, who impressed everyone present with a song "Firefly", including the original singer sitting on the jury seat - Yi Nengjing.
Zhu Jie
Because the female guest's singing voice was really too moving, after a song was finished, Yi Nengjing's face was already tearful. Looking at the girl on the stage, Yi Nengjing asked, "What is your name, little friend?" ”
In the face of the judges' questions, the girl smiled and said: "My name is Zhu Jie, but I am no longer a little girl, I am 23 years old." ”
Hearing the girl's answer, all the audience members in the audience were amazed, and no one dared to believe that the cute little girl in front of them was 23 years old. From a distance, her young face and petite figure were clearly only 7 or 8 years old.
Several people in the judges' seats were also a little skeptical about the girl's answer, and Gao Xiaosong asked: "You said that you are 23 years old, but you are not like an adult, how do you prove it?" ”
Hearing Gao Xiaosong's questioning, the girl called her boyfriend up, and then showed everyone a shadow puppet play learned in the Beijing Shadow Theater Troupe, which dispelled everyone's doubts.
"Pocket Girl" Zhu Jie
In 1988, an ordinary family in Inner Mongolia welcomed a new family member, and she was Zhu Jie. For Zhu Jie's arrival, the family was particularly happy. Since she was a child, her parents have loved her in every way, buying her whatever they want to eat, and letting her wear whatever clothes they want, afraid that their precious daughter will be a little wronged.
Zhu Jie's father is 1 meter 8 tall, Zhu Jie's mother is 1 meter 68 tall, because both parents are tall, so in the eyes of relatives and friends, Zhu Jie must be a tall girl. But sometimes fate always likes to tease people.
At first, Zhu Jie's height was almost the same as that of her peers, although she did not grow taller than the children of the same age as her parents expected, but she did not lag behind others. But by the time it was fifth grade, everything had changed...
Most children are more than ten years old when they reach the fifth grade of primary school, and this age group is when their height development is very obvious. After a summer vacation, many of the students in Zhu Jie's class had grown nearly ten centimeters, and when they returned to the class, they were completely unrecognizable like a changed person.
Seeing that other people's children are swooping upwards like bamboo shoots, but the height of their own daughter has never moved, which makes Zhu Jie's parents a little worried, but they thought that the later the development of the child, the higher the growth, so they did not think much about it.
When it came to junior high school, Zhu Jie's parents finally couldn't sit still. The other children in the class had grown to 1 meter 5 and 1 meter 6, but their daughter was still only 1 meter 2, so they rushed to the hospital with Zhu Jie to consult a doctor. However, after some examination, the doctor's answer made Zhu Jie's parents feel discouraged and fell into a deep despair.
"Your daughter is born with a lack of growth hormone, so her height has since stagnated and may not grow again." The doctor's words struck Zhu Jie's parents like a thunderbolt. They couldn't figure out why their parents' genes were so good, but their daughters could get such a rare disease.
Since then, Zhu Jie's parents have taken Zhu Jie all over the country to seek a cure, but after two or three years of continuous searching, they have spent tens of thousands of yuan before and after but still have not found any effective way to deal with it. At the age of 14, Zhu Jie's parents went through divorce procedures, and Zhu Jie never saw her father again.
As for why her parents divorced and whether her father left her because of her illness, Zhu Jie has not yet found an answer to this question.
Household name "Internet celebrity"
Some people say that heaven will always favor those who are actively working hard, and Zhu Jie also deeply appreciates this sentence. Although her body was sick, Zhu Jie's mind was indeed very clever.
In 2019, the live streaming industry has sprung up and become a major force in the e-commerce platform, and Zhu Jie has also seen the "business opportunities" that exist in this outlet. So she immediately switched careers to work as a network anchor at a shadow puppet theater troupe in Beijing at the time.
At first, Zhu Jie did not operate her own short video, and could only rely on singing to attract some netizens who brushed her videos on the platform. Later, with the help of the network company, Zhu Jie began to share some interesting things in her life with her husband to spread positive energy, and such a change also made her video clicks continue to rise, and the number of fans also continued to rise, breaking through 1 million for a time.
Seeing that the fan base has been polished very strongly, Zhu Jie went to live selling goods, and this change made her earn a lot of money.
Once, the number of viewers in Zhu Jie's live broadcast room once exceeded 100,000, and she earned tens of thousands of yuan in just one night by relying on the commission of live broadcast sales. Today, the number of fans of her personal video account has exceeded 4 million, and she has become a household name.
From a sick pocket girl to a well-known short video anchor, how did Zhu Jie do it? This is all due to his "pocket" husband, Qin Xueshi.
Meet "True Love" from the Art Road
Since her parents divorced, Zhu Jie has fallen into deep self-doubt. "Did Daddy leave because of me?" This thought has been echoing in Zhu Jie's mind and cannot be erased. Every time the phone at home rings, Zhu Jie will feel that it is her father calling, and she will always run to pick it up at the first time, but what she gets is always disappointed.
Because Zhu Jie has defects in physical development, she is inevitably excluded and discriminated against by the people around her in life. When she was in school, her classmates nicknamed her "Dwarf.". Every time she passed by, someone would rub her head with her hand, which made Zhu Jie feel very uncomfortable. Finally after graduating from junior high school, Zhu Jie told her mother that she did not plan to go to high school again, she wanted to go to art school.
Zhu Jie had her own considerations for this plan: First, she endured the strange eyes of her classmates in school, which could not make her calm down and study. Second, after her parents divorced, her mother took care of herself alone, so Zhu Jie wanted to go to the art school to learn a craft as soon as possible and come out to earn money for the family. After some communication with her mother, Zhu Jie stepped into the art campus and began her career in art.
Because of her petite body, Zhu Jie also experienced repeated setbacks when studying in the art school. Every time the students went to practice physical movements, Zhu Jie always couldn't find her partner, and could only practice silently in the corner alone.
Some actions require prop assistance to complete, and Zhu Jie can't use the props used by normal people at all, so she can only let the teacher make some specific size props for them.
Although she always encountered various difficulties in the learning process, Zhu Jie thought that this was the path she had chosen herself, so she gritted her teeth and persevered.
After graduating from art school, Zhu Jie looked for a job in the society, although she learned a skill, but still could not get rid of the physical shackles, so the job found was not satisfactory. Until one day, Zhu Jie accidentally saw a girl with a petite figure like her on TV.
In 2009, the famous talk show "Lu Yu Has a Date" invited Wu Xiaoli, a "star actress" in a shadow puppet theater troupe in Beijing. Like Zhu Jie, Wu Xiaoli is also a pocket girl with a medical condition that affects her physical development. But unlike Zhu Jie, Wu Xiaoli behaved generously on TV, sunny and positive, and even more confident than normal people.
Wu Xiaoli
This deeply attracted Zhu Jie, who was sitting in front of the TV, and she also wanted to live like Wu Xiaoli. So Zhu Jie bought a ticket the next day and went to Beijing to sign up for the Pocket Shadow Puppet Art Troupe. And this also allowed her to meet her true love.
After successfully passing two rounds of interviews with her own artistic skills, Zhu Jie officially joined the art troupe and has since practiced and lived with more than 40 other "pocket partners" in the art troupe.
Because Zhu Jie looks very pure and lovely, and also has a very obvious artistic temperament, she has just entered the art troupe and attracted the attention of many boys. Among them is Qin Xueshi.
In the whole art troupe, Qin Xueshi is a very different boy. For Qin Xueshi, doing art is not his original intention, his original dream was to be a doctor who treats diseases and saves people, and he really almost realized this dream.
Zhu Jie and Qin Bachelor
Because he was discriminated against because of his height since he was a child, Qin Xueshi has been studying hard in school, thinking of becoming a respected doctor when he grows up.
After graduating from the third year of high school, Qin Xueshi was admitted to Hunan Medical University with excellent results. During his college years, Qin Bashi studied hard every day and night, and finally successfully entered a hospital after graduation and became an emergency doctor.
Seeing that his dream came true, Qin Xueshi couldn't wait to see people to complete his long-cherished wish for many years. However, for half a year, his department did not treat a single patient.
Whenever a patient stepped into his department and saw his petite body, he would turn his head and leave in a hurry, and everyone did not believe that Qin Xueshi's small body could cure their disease.
Qin Bachelor
There was even a patient who said to the director of the emergency department in front of Qin Xueshi: "You let such a young child see me, can you bear the responsibility for the accident?" ”
No matter how Qin Xueshi explained it, the patients were still unwilling to believe him. Therefore, the disheartened Qin Xueshi took the initiative to resign from the hospital, bid farewell to his dream, and went to the theater troupe to learn shadow puppetry. When Zhu Jie and Qin Xueshi met, both were attracted to each other's unique temperament, so they quickly fell in love.
Under the care of Qin Xueshi, Zhu Jie also gradually found her lost self-confidence, became more positive and sunny, and more and more dared to show her talents in front of everyone.
In 2010, under the encouragement of Qin Xueshi, Zhu Jie participated in the large-scale variety show "China's Got Talent" created by Oriental Satellite TV, and on the program, Zhu Jie's crisp voice won the applause of the national audience.
In 2011, Zhu Jie and Qin Xueshi held a romantic wedding, and the two entered the palace of marriage hand in hand and became each other's lifelong partners. Considering the growth of the next generation, the couple also decided not to have children and to be a Dink family. "As long as I have you company, my life will be satisfied." Zhu Jie said this to Qin Xueshi.
In the next few years, due to Zhu Jie's wonderful performance on the talent show, some directors and creative teams will also come to her to shoot "pocket" film and television dramas. In 2014, the movie "Cherry Red Pocket Mother" starring Zhu Jie won wide acclaim from the masses as soon as it was released.
Nowadays, Zhu Jie has successfully transformed into an e-commerce anchor, and often posts some clips of a happy life with her husband in her short video account on weekdays. The benefits brought to her by being an anchor are enough to support the two of them to spend the rest of their lives peacefully.
In fact, there will be no perfect things in the world, and there will be no perfect people. In a person's life, only they know whether they live well or not, and only they understand whether they are happy or unhappy.
Happiness is a mood, a natural, positive state of mind. Seeking happiness in the ordinary, seeking happiness in the midst of tribulations, seeking happiness in the midst of twists and turns, only in this way can we get a truly happy life.
