In June 2014, a boy named Pranshu fell to the ground in a poor family in the northern Indian state of Punjab.
Just when everyone was ready to greet this little life with joy, everyone's faces suddenly showed a frightened expression.
It turned out that the appearance of this little boy was too weird, and it was not at all the appearance that a normal person should have.
The father took a closer look and saw that the child's head was very large, and the forehead occupied half of the position, while the area below the forehead was very small.
In addition, his nose is very protruding, his ears are short and small, his eyes are thin and long, and his mouth looks strange.
Looking a little farther away, the child's head resembled an inverted triangle.
The situation was urgent, the parents rushed to take the child to the hospital, and after the doctor's examination, he told him with a heavy face: "Unfortunately, your child may have so many defects in his face because of genetic mutations." ”
Doctors point out that if treatment is to be carried out, it will be a big cost, but if it is not treated, it will have an impact on the child's life.
After hearing this, the poor couple fell into a long silence...
It is said that children are the heart of parents, if they can, parents will dedicate the best things to their children, even if it is difficult, they will not let their children suffer a little.
The same is true of Planshu's parents, but the love they give To Planshu is too heavy because they don't have enough money.
The fifth child in the family, The Father lives on odd jobs for years and earns about 400 rupees a day, or $5.30.
The family's economy is not rich, usually eating is hungry and full, this huge medical expenses, they simply can not get out.
But even so, his parents took him to the local public hospital for free treatment.
Due to the relatively backward medical conditions in the local area, doctors cannot give a precise diagnosis, cannot detect anything at all, and treatment has not played a role.
After many fruitless attempts, Plantshu's parents gradually compromised with reality.
They felt that it didn't matter if their son had to wear this face all his life, they just hoped that he could jump, run, and play like a healthy child.
Fortunately, When Plantshu grew up, he was surrounded by love and kindness and did not receive too much ridicule.
Of course, the premise of all this is because his parents told him that no one is born perfect.
His parents told Planshu that everyone should learn to accept their imperfections and believe that all the imperfections in life can be solved with love.
Therefore, in the face of the imperfection of others, we must also learn to let go of prejudice and treat others kindly, which is actually a kind of protection for ourselves.
Puranshu nodded as if he understood and did as his parents said.
As Planshu grew older, his parents found that his condition had not only not improved, but had deteriorated a lot.
If it is just a facial deformity, the point is that Pulanshu's height has also been greatly limited, and his height has not increased since he exceeded one meter.
Above is a large head, and below is a slender and slender body, which looks really strange.
Every day, parents are worried about Puranshu's body.
In the blink of an eye, Puranshu was old enough to go to school.
His parents did want him to go to school, but they didn't dare to let him go to school.
They didn't dare not because of money, but because they feared that Plantshu would be discriminated against by his peers at school.
Because they believe that not all children can make the choice of "goodness" between right and good.
They fear that Plantshu will not be respected in school and will hit his hard-earned self-confidence.
But the couple thought about it for a moment, the child's congenital deformity is already painful enough, if you deprive him of the opportunity to receive education, will it not cause him more damage?
Moreover, in India, children born from poor families can only get ahead by reading, and there is no other way.
After a struggle of ideas, the parents finally sent Pulanshu to the campus.
Unexpectedly, everything happened beyond their expectations.
Pulanshu, who had a facial deformity, hesitated to enter the campus, looked up, and the classmates around him did not cast contemptuous glances at him, nor did they point at him, but they greeted him with endless encouragement.
It was as if to tell him that although he was born different, it did not mean that everyone would mock him with malice.
Pulanshu is very fortunate to have met these warm-hearted classmates, and the abundant and pleasant campus life has been carried out in an orderly manner.
Parents are also very pleased, long-term tolerant environment, so that Pulanshu developed a free and romantic heart, boys should have the vitality and enthusiasm he has.
Not only that, he also gained friendship and harvested truth, goodness and beauty.
Just as everything was proceeding in an orderly manner, Planshu noticed that his appearance had become more and more strange and uncontrollable.
A strange feeling rose from his heart, and he was afraid that the imminent accident would disrupt his hard-won stable life.
Sure enough, it was still coming, but this time the accident came a little special.
Planshu's increasingly strange face became more and more like an elephant.
The Indian students who believed in religion began to whisper, isn't the appearance of Puranshu the appearance of the "ganti god"?
Ganesha is the folk folk name for Ganesha, the god of wisdom, and is one of the widely worshipped Hindu gods.
Ganesha is the spiritual son of the main god Shiva and the goddess of the snowy mountains, Parvati, and the brother of Murokenta, the god of war.
Legend has it that the goddess of the snow mountain was bathing alone in her home, and in order to avoid being disturbed by the outside world, she pinched a little boy with turmeric clay and let it guard outside the door.
But a clay doll obviously didn't work, so she injected life into the boy.
Coincidentally, Lord Shiva, who had been practicing for many years, suddenly returned home.
As soon as he entered the door, he found his wife bathing inside, and there was a boy sitting outside.
Furious, he directly believed that the boy was peeking at his wife taking a bath, and in a fit of anger, he took out a trident and cut off the child's head.
The goddess of the snow mountain heard the fight and hurried out, but it was too late, and in grief she asked Shiva to save her life.
In order to put the boy's head back, they found Brahma, the god of creation.
After Brahma's guidance, Shiva cut off the head of the idol and placed it on the boy's body.
Thus, a god with an elephant head was born.
In order to worship this ganesha, India holds a ten-day religious event every year, during which various sacrifice items are prepared.
The Indian people will hold a solemn ceremony to invite the ganesha home, and on the last day of the god's birthday, they will use the solemn ceremony to send the ganesha to the rivers and the sea.
Indians believe that the ganesha has the ability to break through obstacles to disasters and bless all things well, and is also the god of wisdom, wealth and destiny in Indian mythology.
Some Hindus will put it in stores in anticipation of bringing themselves enough wealth.
Throughout South Asia and many parts of Southeast Asia, there are countless believers who believe in him.
For a time, people regarded Pulanshu as the reincarnation of the gods, believing that he was the gift of the gods, the embodiment of the gods, in order to give them the beauty of all things in the world.
They were glad that they could witness god's birth.
In fact, in the eyes of normal people, this is a kind of deformity, which has nothing to do with whether it is the birth of a god or not.
But some people think that it doesn't matter whether it's deformed or not, it may be called deformity elsewhere, but in India, it's called the reincarnation of the gods, so what matters is the market.
At the same time, some people feel that Planshu is a lucky child, and he is blessed by misfortune.
Fortunately, Planshu is worshipped as a god, and if some people are said to be demons by some people, will they not be "burned to death"?
When he was a child, he was not excluded from his peers, and when he grew up, he was revered as a "god", at least much better than being ostracized and bullied.
Many people may not understand why it is the 21st century, these backward concepts are still so deeply rooted, and they have not seen any social progress.
But a country has its own traditional culture, and it is not something that the outside world can intervene in.
All in all, Puran shu is on fire, but in the process, whether he can harvest happiness or grow deeper, people can't say.
During this time, his father saw an opportunity to change the family.
Over time, Plantshu became famous in the region and was revered as the "Count of Ganice".
Countless people came to visit him out of curiosity, and many devotees came to pay homage to him.
Of course, these people did not come empty-handed, but with various sacrifices.
Some believers will even offer gold and silver treasures to Puranshu, and they are convinced from their hearts that Puranshu is the reincarnation of the gods, and his blessings will surely bring good luck to them.
With his own efforts, Pulanshu pulled his family from poor households to the middle class level, helping the family get rid of the difficult situation of daily life.
The family no longer has to starve and be bullied, nor does it have to be looked at differently.
After the family had the cash cow of Pulanshu, my father no longer had to do odd jobs, my mother did not need to look at other people's faces, and the whole family was greatly respected by the locals.
As for all the psychological changes that Planshu suffered in the process, no one thought about it.
In any case, he was still a small child, and he would be afraid when he faced strangers.
When he is alone, he will also be lonely and lonely, and his natural facial deformity will infinitely enlarge all this.
Moreover, people have two sides, and when these people sacrifice Puranshu, they will inevitably question him, and there may be some gossip spreading.
But helplessly, his parents only saw one of them, that is, the gold and silver jewelry that Planshu had recovered.
Things got worse, and at first the local people sacrificed Puranshu, and then people from all over the world rushed to the scene.
Because there are more and more people worshipping Puranshu, the small space in the home can no longer accommodate these guests.
Plantshu's father found an abandoned mosque nearby as a place for believers to meet Plantshu.
Not only the believers who came from afar, but even Puranshu's father himself knelt before Puranshu and sacrificed.
Because he believes that he is not the mortal father of Puranshu, he cannot live as a mortal father, and naturally he cannot stand with Puranshu as an equal.
The father felt that he had to exist in a sacrificial kneeling posture to express his respect for the gods.
What many people wonder is that the bubble of this lie is blowing bigger and bigger, how can no one find the clues to it from beginning to end?
First of all, this is due to the cultural customs of India; secondly, when trust is not doubtful, the light of truth cannot shine in, so Plantshu can also take this aura to hide his true self and enjoy the worship of everyone.
For him, it is a different kind of gain.
But whether it's a nightmare or a dream, there's always going to be a day to wake up.
Although Pransu's body was deformed, his brain development was completely normal, and as he grew up, he gradually understood why these people under his feet came to kneel in front of him and kept prostrating.
He knew that he was not the so-called incarnation of the gods, but just a deformed child.
But he did not dare to say these words explicitly.
Because as soon as he pokes through this soap bubble, it means that he will disappear overnight with these benefits that he brings to himself and his family with his appearance.
Moreover, through this status in school, he also gained the respect of his classmates and the love of his teachers.
All this is in an ordinary disabled person, which is unimaginable.
At the same time, Planshu also realized that life is an uphill battle, and everyone will have their own hardships.
He enjoys his current state of life more than his mutilated limbs.
If he could, he hoped that such a life would last forever.
So he didn't know how to pretend to understand before, but now he can only pretend not to understand and let things develop.
As for how things will go, leave it all to time to decide.
Now Puranshu will often be invited by some temples to meet with believers and accept worship in the temple.
Every time he went, he was paid extremely well, far beyond the income of his family.
Back to reality, Planshu is just a child plagued by disease.
If there is no congenital deformity, he can also have the same life as an ordinary person.
He will first be educated, then find a suitable job, and then marry and have children, and the children will be happy.
But helplessly, all this was accompanied by deformities and became an illusion.
If he is fortunate enough to be born in a medically developed country, with advanced plastic surgery technology, Plantshu is likely to step into the track of normal life.
Of course, the current network resources are extremely developed, and the puranshu incident has been known to more people.
If one day, all the truth is exposed, how Planshu and his family will face it is still unknown.
But for this poor child, this result was too cruel after all.
I hope that Pulanshu's life can go smoothly and peacefully.
