Born with hair all over the body, even on the face, the body hair coverage rate is as high as 96%.
Since his birth, he has been regarded as a "national treasure" and has become the object of attention of the people of the whole country.
Many newspapers and media have interviewed him, and he has become a TV star and married a girlfriend who is 13 years younger than him.
He is "China's No. 1 Hairy Child" Yu Zhenhuan, and now how is his life?
The statements in this article are based on reliable sources of information and are detailed at the end of the article
"China's No. 1 Furry Child"
In the 2011 version of "Journey to the West", there is such a scene that is impressive.
The red jiri horse monkey next to Sun Wukong is very similar to the dressed Sun Wukong, and he is also full of hair, but the hair color is different.
If it weren't for the list of cast and crew, no one would have thought that this Akajiri horse monkey was actually a real person and had not experienced any special effects makeup.
And the actor of this monkey is Yu Zhenhuan, at this time, he has participated in many shows, and almost everyone knows it.
And in 2002, he also became the Guinness World Record for "the person with the most hair in the world".
Born covered in hair
When Yu Zhenhuan was born, 96% of his body was covered with a layer of hair.
He was born in Liaoning Province in 1977, and when he was born, he had a layer of hair on his body, so that the people who delivered him couldn't tell whether it was a child or something else.
Later, after he was born, people saw that the child was covered with hair.
Although his parents were also very surprised by Yu Zhenhuan's birth, after all, this is also their child, and they will try their best to raise the child.
But outsiders may not think so, and the people in the village have said everything, some say that they threw the child away, and some say that their family gave birth to a freak.
The most important thing is that Yu Zhenhuan's hair grows extremely vigorously and grows rapidly.
When he was born, he was only about 4 centimeters, but in 8 months, the hair on his body has reached more than 10 centimeters, and his eyebrows are 3.4 centimeters long.
His face was also covered with thick hair, and there were a lot of small hairs on his ears.
However, the palms of his hands and feet were smooth, and there was not a single hair.
Aside from these strange appearances, Yu Zhenhuan's body and behavior are no different from those of a normal child.
It just so happened that a professor in Liaoning heard about Yu Zhenhuan, so he wanted to study it and see what was going on.
They also became a special team to study why Yu Zhenhuan had hair on his body.
They investigated and studied Zhenhuan, and finally concluded that there was no problem with Yu Zhenhuan's body, and their family did not have this kind of inheritance, so they speculated that Yu Zhenhuan was very likely to have a genetic mutation, that is, the "atavistic phenomenon".
Yu Zhenhuan just had a little longer hair than usual, and his body was not affected.
Later, the Beijing Science and Education Film Studio came to his home to shoot the documentary "Hairy Child" with him as the protagonist all year round.
At that time, he was less than 1 year old, and in the documentary, although he was covered in hair, he was very cute.
There is no difference between the behavior of ordinary children, they will cry and make trouble, they will stay quietly, and they will ask their mothers to hug them.
As soon as the documentary was broadcast, Yu Zhenhuan quickly became popular across the country.
And this documentary also let many people who don't know the situation know that Yu Zhenhuan is not a "freak" in other people's mouths, he is the same as a normal person.
And Yu Zhenhuan is also known as "China's first hairy child".
Because of this hair, he received a lot of eyes and discussions when he was a child, and similarly, he was also envied a lot.
Because when he was 7 years old, a film company in Hong Kong invited him to star in a movie.
This movie can be said to be tailor-made for Yu Zhenhuan, because the name of the movie is "Little Hairy Boy Raiders of the Lost Ark".
The hairy boy in it is all hairy, Yu Zhenhuan doesn't need to do special types anymore, and his partner in it is still Xue Shujie, a very popular star at the time.
Yu Zhenhuan was still a child at the time, and he didn't learn Xi acting systematically, but his performance in the movie was remarkable.
After the movie was broadcast, it was a success, and Yu Zhenhuan, as the hairy boy in it, became even more famous.
But after the prosperity was lonely, after Yu Zhenhuan became famous, this popularity did not last long, and soon he lost the attention of the outside world.
The situation at home was soon not optimistic, Yu Zhenhuan could only rely on performing everywhere to earn performance fees, and his family was supported by him for a long time.
But out of the aura of a child star and the filter on TV, in reality, Yu Zhenhuan was hit again and again.
Many people will be shocked when they see Yu Zhenhuan, whether they are children or adults, without exception.
Even when he performs, he will be questioned whether he is the reincarnation of a monkey.
Yu Zhenhuan experienced a lot of ridicule and doubts, and he was only a teenager at that time, so he felt very painful in the face of these, and he became more and more disgusted with his body hair.
Fortunately, Yu Zhenhuan was not defeated by difficulties, his parents have always been behind him to encourage him, and he himself slowly walked out of that period of frustration and discouragement.
Yu Zhenhuan had a dream when he was a child, that is, to become a singer and shine on the stage.
In 2005, Yu Zhenhuan took a train from Shenyang to Beijing.
In fact, Yu Zhenhuan had been to Beijing before, and his first film was a training in Beijing.
Yu Zhenhuan has a lot of memories of Beijing, and later after going to Beijing, if he wants to eat this bite, he will go to eat braised and fried liver.
These two snacks are in Zhenhuan's heart, which is the taste of Beijing that he understands.
Yu Zhenhuan has a special affection for Beijing, so he later chose to go to Beijing to develop his career.
This hair is good and bad for Zhenhuan, he became famous early on because of this, and he can also make money to support his family because of these, in the same way, he began to feel inferior because of these hairs and became unconfident.
He walked night clubs in major cities across the country, where he sang songs and fulfilled his dream step by step, but that star dream was getting farther and farther away from him.
In 2004, while on a night tour, he met someone who wanted to invest in him.
The other party wants to spend 10 million to build him, and also invited many seniors to guide, coinciding with the anniversary of the other party's company, Yu Zhenhuan, as a newcomer who is about to sign a contract and praise, was arranged to appear after a group of big names.
However, the dream is like a mirror, and after the New Year, there is no follow-up to this matter.

If not, the pole will be reversed.
Although there was no follow-up to the signing, at the same time, many domestic and foreign media came to interview Yu Zhenhuan that year.
He was invited to participate in a foreign talk show, which made more people know him, and at the same time, domestic media also began to interview and report.
His fame seems to have returned to the time it used to be, in 2004, he actually released his own solo single "Still Love You", and the results were not bad after making it.
After the interview, Yu Zhenhuan made persistent efforts and went to Guangzhou to start producing his first album, spending all his own savings.
Seeing that the time was ripe, he decided to develop in Beijing in 2005.
But before he could make any splash on this album, the Internet era quickly rose.
It is equivalent to his own money invested in it and lost all his money, and the album did not have many achievements.
But fortunately, it didn't take long for him to earn it back, and he also bought a house in Tongzhou, Beijing.
Yu Zhenhuan, who works hard in Beijing, is still mainly in night games, but he has also been invited to participate in many program evenings and accepted many media reports and interviews.
During the period when he was working patrol, he had a girlfriend, and there were media reports at the time.
Later, Yu Zhenhuan broke up with his girlfriend, and then he dated two or three times one after another, but all of them ended in failure.
In 2007, Yu Zhenhuan signed a contract with a company, but the company "hidden" him and wiped out his fame.
After terminating the contract, he partnered with a friend to start a company, but in the end he was kicked out by his good friend who came in later.
After that, he happened to receive an invitation to the new version of Journey to the West, so he joined the crew and played the Akajiri horse monkey next to Sun Wukong.
After that, Yu Zhenhuan's career began to rise again, and in 2011, he recorded a program on Hunan TV and met the president of Hunan Radio and Television University by chance.
The other party invited him to give a speech at school, and after that, Yu Zhenhuan discovered his talent for speech, and his speech can also bring positive energy to others.
After that, he began to give free public lectures in major universities, and Yu Zhenhuan's focus changed from music film and television to music film and television and speeches.
But in this regard, Yu Zhenhuan didn't make much money, so he started his own small business and opened a kennel in Beijing.
In 2019, Yu Zhenhuan threw a bomb, and he and his girlfriend registered and received the certificate.
At this time, Yu Zhenhuan was over 40 years old, and his wife was 13 years younger than him.
After going through so much, Yu Zhenhuan finally met his true love, and two years later, he also posted a photo of his son.
Now Yu Zhenhuan is 46 years old, and he still shares his life on social platforms when he is fine.
These hairs did not defeat Yu Zhenhuan, Yu Zhenhuan lived a good life after that, married a wife, had children, and had his own family.
He relied on his own hard work to change his fate.
