Psychologist Adler once said:
"Lucky people are cured of childhood all their lives, and unfortunate people are cured of childhood all their lives."
It is precisely because some children do not have a sunny and positive childhood, so they always maintain sensitivity and pessimism about the world when they grow up.
Ji Baoru was one of the countless unfortunate children, and her tragic childhood almost affected her whole life.
From being abandoned by her mother after birth to becoming a money-making tool for her grandmother, she basically never experienced the meaning of the word family affection before she became an adult.
The peak turns around, and life finally allows Ji Baoru to meet a true love, who once thought that the other party would let her fall into the abyss of life again because of cheating and leaving.
What are the untold stories behind this legendary child star, and what kind of life is she living now?
01 Blessed by misfortune
Ji Baoru, born in 1962 in Taiwan, Baodao, her life was given by her mother, and her soul was also strangled by her mother.
Along with her, there was also a brother of the dragon and phoenix fetus, and the joy of seemingly children and daughters was regarded as an ominous omen in Taiwan at that time.
The only way to crack this misfortune is to raise the two children separately, and the farther away the better.
Between the son and the daughter, the parents did not hesitate to choose the brother, but who was left to raise the child?
Just when the couple was at a loss for this matter, Ji Baoru's mother suddenly thought of something and said excitedly.
"Since the older generation said that the farther away the two children are, the better, then let's sell our daughter to the mainland, maybe we can sell it for a good price?"
His wife's words made Ji Baoru's father think it was a good idea, but other problems soon appeared in his mind.
"If this matter is known, it is not a trivial matter, not to mention that we do not know anyone on the mainland."
Seeing that this road does not work, the couple can only think of other ways, just at this time, a suitable person let the couple blurt out invariably.
"My mother."
This so-called mother is Ji Baoru's grandmother, and since her son and daughter-in-law settled in the city, this old man has lived alone in the countryside of his hometown.
Without hesitation, the ruthless parents immediately sent their young daughter to a remote village overnight and never looked back at her.
Perhaps in order to make up for the only trace of guilt in her heart, Ji Baoru's mother stuffed a wad of living expenses into her mother-in-law's hand before leaving, and then told her three times.
"Mom, you should give Baoru a way to live, and raise her safely."
At first glance, this request seemed like a very simple thing, but I didn't know that it was the beginning of the child's tragic life.
Because Grandma Baoru did not have the kindness and care of ordinary old people, she also regarded this abandoned granddaughter as a thorn in the flesh of the eye, and called her a broom star.
In addition to the normal degree of eating and wearing, she often punched and kicked her granddaughter when she was in a bad mood.
Based on such conditions, Baoru's body is always beaten blue and purple, and the young mind is full of holes.
Countless times she lay in bed late at night and asked herself, was she born to endure this unfair treatment? Will there never be a day in this life?
This poor child learned from an early age to observe the color of speech, and lived a life of walking on thin ice all day in order not to provoke his grandmother to be angry.
It wasn't until the age of 5 that life took a turn for the better.
In early 1967, a television crew suddenly came to the town to look for child stars, and the payment was very large.
Grandma Baoru has always been a person who sees money and has an open eye, and now this great opportunity is in front of her where there is a reason to refuse.
Immediately after that, she rushed home, pulled her little granddaughter who was doing housework out of the room, and carefully looked at it from top to bottom.
I really didn't expect that this little girl would turn out to be a big girl, especially those big watery eyes that looked particularly cute.
In order to successfully pass the audition, Grandma Baoru also took her granddaughter to town to buy a new dress, and the sudden concern flattered the 5-year-old child.
Perhaps seeing the confusion in Baoru's eyes, she continued to explain with a smile.
"As long as you are obedient, you can wear new clothes every day and eat delicious food."
Hearing this, the young and ignorant Baoru nodded excitedly, as long as Grandma was happy, her life would not be sad.
Then, she followed her grandmother to the audition site, and the little girl looked a little nervous in the face of the unfamiliar staff.
Just when Baoru was at a loss, the director announced the audition title: 10 seconds of tears.
As soon as the words fell, the abandonment of her mother and the harshness of her grandmother came to her mind like a movie, and I am afraid that no one knows the meaning of sadness better than herself.
As soon as he thought of this, Xiao Baoru's tears fell like raindrops, and the unsuspecting bystanders only thought that this child was born as a small actor.
As a result, the director was very satisfied with this poor little girl and signed a contract with Grandma Baoru at the moment.
Looking at the appearance of grandma smiling and opening up, the ignorant little treasure thought that his good day was finally coming, but he did not know that this was the first step to fall into the abyss.
02 Big ups and downs
From an unremarkable country girl to a well-known stage child star, Ji Baoru only took 8 years.
In the past 8 years, she has squeezed out a smiley face in front of the camera again and again, showing everyone the happiness that does not belong to the heart.
Ji Baoru certainly has some talent in acting, but she knows better that only in this way can she get her grandmother's satisfaction.
As time passed, her value grew higher and higher, and even her parents, who had never visited her before, came to hear about it.
At this time, no matter how enthusiastic the parents are, how deep the hatred in Ji Baoru's heart is, if it were not for them, his life would not have fallen into this.
At this time, the cartoon "Ten Thousand Miles to Find Mother" broadcast by HuaTV was looking for a singer of the theme song, which was simply tailor-made for her.
Too late to hesitate, Ji Baoru took the initiative to ask Miao to take over the errand, and he poured out his inner feelings with lyrics.
"I want you, Mom, I miss you, Mom..."
This childish voice deeply captured everyone's heart, and everyone who heard this song was moved, and it is difficult to imagine such a delicate song being interpreted so realistically by a child.
After a short time, Ji Baoru's body began to develop, and her voice was not as delicate as when she was a child.
Seeing that this cash cow was crumbling, Ji Baoru's grandmother was anxious, and she did not want to raise her granddaughter for so many years in vain.
If only the granddaughter hadn't grown up.
Thinking of this, this cruel old man suddenly had a bold idea in his heart, is there any way to inhibit the growth of children?
So she went around to ask famous doctors, who had thought that there was actually a drug called "growth inhibition needle".
At first, Ji Baoru's parents were still a little worried about whether there would be any side effects, but when they remembered that the recent conditions in the family were getting worse, they agreed fiercely.
Ji Baoru will never forget the year when she was 13 years old, she cried out in pain but was forcibly injected into her body by her grandmother.
Since then, her body has been pressed as if the pause button has been pressed, and the height of 149 has never been more than one centimeter.
Since having an "ageless body", Ji Baoru's grandmother has frantically sent it to major drama crews to shoot, just to earn a greater degree of remuneration.
Perhaps to worry that her granddaughter would not be able to bear the pressure and run away, the inhuman grandmother even locked her in her room when she was not filming.
Those days were simply Ji Baoru's darkest time, and her life was locked up in a small black room except for endless filming.
In this way, she naturally did not even have time to go to school a few times, and the original intention of reading to change her destiny was also burst like a bubble.
Just when Ji Baoru was confused about her future, a man appeared in her life.
One late night in 1979, Ji Baoru inadvertently found that the locked door was quietly loosening for some reason, and she pushed the door open with a force.
The cool breeze in her face made her instantly awake, and finally escaped from this earthly hell that was so depressing that people could not breathe.
Almost no shops are still open on the streets late at night, except for neon-lit dance halls.
Before that, Ji Baoru had never set foot in such a place, and the reason for her work had long since made her lose the entertainment that young people should have.
This time, she no longer wants to be Grandma's puppet or her parents' cash cow, and tonight she is only herself.
Thinking of this, Ji Baoru did not hesitate to push open the door of the dance hall, trying to get drunk here and forget all the unhappiness.
Not long after she entered, many uninvited guests took the initiative to come to talk, and the flirtatious language made her feel a little uncomfortable for a while.
Just when Ji Baoru did not know how to get out, a mature and stable man suddenly came and staged a heroic rescue.
After escaping from danger, this little girl who did not understand the world bowed one after another.
"Thank you uncle, thank you uncle..."
Who knew that as soon as the voice fell, the man on the other side smiled badly.
"Don't call me uncle, call me brother."
Hearing this, Ji Baoru's small face was slightly red, but at this time, she did not realize that this was the feeling of love.
This man is Yu Long, this year, he is 26 years old, she is 17 years old.
Perhaps it is this huge age difference that makes Ji Baoru feel the charm of a mature man again, and in the other person's body, she can even feel the father's love.
Yu Long in life does care for this little girl as a daughter, but there is no ambiguity in her feelings.
He would often whisper in Ji Baoru's ear that I love you, and promised to go to the palace of marriage with her one day.
Finally, Ji Baoru couldn't wait, she didn't want to miss this only man who was good to her, she was willing to give everything for this man, including her career.
The Ji family, who learned of this, of course refused to agree, and her father gave her a slap without saying a word.
This time, Ji Baoru did not give in, she alone took Yu Long's hand and escaped from home, but she felt that she had never been so rich.
03 Reborn
Finally, when he was 18 years old, the first thing Ji Baoru did after he became an adult was to become an official legal couple with Yu Long.
Marriage is the most important thing in a woman's life, but she has no wedding and no blessings, only two red books.
Despite this, Ji Baoru had never blamed Yu Long for half a point, as long as the two people worked together, they would definitely be able to live the life they wanted.
Yu Long is also a man who loves his wife, and soon after marriage, he asked Ji Baoru to quit the entertainment circle and be at ease to be a full-time wife.
Based on this comfortable life, the sweet world of two soon transitioned into a family of five, with three new members being two sons and a daughter.
In order to let their three children live a carefree life, Yu Long and Ji Baoru run all day on the road of earning money and supporting their families.
Fortunately, heaven has not failed this hard-working little couple, and the economic conditions in the family are getting better day by day under the hard work of the two.
Until 1991, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old young girl suddenly appeared in the family, she claimed to be Yu Long's dry daughter.
Looking at the young girl in front of her who opened her mouth and shouted, the woman's sixth sense told Ji Bao that such a thing was definitely not so simple.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Yu Long to start a vigorous love affair with this girl, and its sweetness was no less than that of himself at that time.
The sudden bad news made Ji Baoru desperate, perhaps this family no longer had a place for themselves.
Immediately after that, she immediately packed her bags and walked out without looking back, and her inner determination was the same as the night she eloped with Yu Long.
It was just that this pain did not last long, Yu Long turned back to try to recover this old love, listening to the other party's bitter pleading outside the door, and Ji Bao in the room was like a knife.
At this time, she very much wanted to open the door and embrace her husband's arms, but the harm caused by the infidelity always made her unable to let go, who ever wanted to end this entanglement, it was an accident.
A fire raided KTV, killing 16 people, and Yu Long, who was frustrated by feelings and used alcohol to dispel his sorrows, was one of them.
After learning of this, Ji Baoru fell into deep self-blame for a long time, if he had agreed to the compound request, Yu Long would not have survived.
This year, she was 30 years old.
Who knew that before Ji Baoru could walk out of her husband's departure, the eldest son suddenly suffered from mental illness and the second son was also addicted to drugs.
A series of accidents caused this poor woman to fall into the abyss of despair in an instant, and even repeatedly vented the injustice and depression of life on the 3 children.
As a result, it can be imagined that Ji Baoru finally lived into the appearance of his former parents, and he could be said to have become the person he hated the most.
In 2004, under the influence of religion, Ji Baoru began to face his heart and took the initiative to reconcile with his family.
Perhaps in order to officially bid farewell to the past, Ji Baoru also specially wrote an autobiography and adapted the happiness and misfortune encountered in the past years into a TV series.
Now that she is more than half a hundred years old, her old age around her knees has made her feel the love of affection again.
Although Ji Baoru in childhood lacked the ability to love, she could still feel love and harvest love through hard work when she grew up.
I hope that everyone can let go of the past, and I hope that everyone believes that all the haze in this world will buy you better luck, so that you can have a happy tomorrow.
