In 2020, a 13-year-old Laotian girl caused a stir on the Internet, and her smile was warm and moving, which captivated viewers.
The girl's name was Ah Ai and she was born in a barren and backward village in Laos. She wears neat and clean clothes, her hair is simple and neat, her eyebrows are clear, and her eyes are clear and bright.
Ah Wai's life is not satisfactory. She faced greed and oppression from her father, who had pledged to marry her when she was 15 and demanded that the bride price include two Honda motorcycles. Even when she was only 13 years old, her father began to let her go out and "show up" to make money.
By chance, a Chinese blogger discovered Ah Wai, which changed her fate dramatically. The blogger gave her some Chinese snacks and asked to shoot a video, which made Ah Wai's story reverberate on the Internet.
Ah Wai's father used her status as an Internet celebrity to seek benefits, asking her to join a company that cultivates Internet celebrities, giving up her studies and dancing to make money. During this time, Ah Wai's life was completely changed, and she was forced to wear light makeup, wear revealing clothes, and dance in front of the camera, which was very different from her original innocent and innocent image. She was often blamed and beaten by her father, and her life lost its sunshine and freedom.
At the end of 2022, Ah Wai's father unfortunately passed away, and the family fell into chaos. Later, Ah Ai's relatives took her siblings away, leaving her and her mother alone at home. At this time, Ah Wai's mother decided to return to school and give her a chance to start over.
Now, she has returned to the high school in the village and is trying to catch up with the school she has fallen behind in the past. Although life is still difficult, the help of relatives and netizens has given Ah Wai warm support. The years have left traces, her smile has lost its original innocence, and her eyes are no longer so bright.
