In the 70s of the last century, in a small village in Liaoning Province, a newborn fell to the ground, but before everyone was happy for this little life that came to the world, they were shocked to find that there were many hairs on his body, which made this newborn child look like a human being, but like a beast in the mountains and forests. What happened to the child? What did his child look like? [Beer]

The darling of science in his youth, and later the "monster"
This situation, coupled with the era at that time, education was not so widespread. Some rumors are naturally unavoidable. The villagers began to talk behind their backs, thinking that the child was a "monster".
For the child's mother, although the child looks a little strange, after all, she was born by herself, and she still takes good care of him. Fortunately, an expert came to the door and investigated his situation. And then he and his family were transferred to the city to cooperate with research and other work.
After special research, it was found that this is actually a special genetic mutation. It even appeared in ancient China, such as "Zuo Chuan · In the twenty-sixth year of Xianggong Xianggong, it was recorded that "Song Rui Situ gave birth to a woman, naked and hairy, and abandoned under the embankment." This is probably the earliest record of this kind of human being.
In fact, this is just an atavistic phenomenon in human genes, human ancestors, who had a thick hair, but gradually began to get rid of this too thick hair in the process of evolution. Some researchers believe that this can better expel heat and control body temperature.
But at the genetic level, it may only inhibit the expression of the related genes, and in fact this ability still exists. For example, many people are born with thick hair on their chests and hands and legs.
However, some people will have an accidental genetic mutation that causes them to grow thick and complex hairs. This is what we call congenital hirsutism. And such a group of people, in addition to being different from ordinary people in appearance, is actually no different from ordinary people in other situations.
Documentary "Hairy Child"
There is nothing wrong with the body, and the research on this matter will slowly come to an end. This child was also able to return to social life, and at that time, he was even specially used as a prototype to shoot a popular science documentary about this symptom, which asked him to be the protagonist.
And this has also allowed some directors to see the potential of his image. even created some tailor-made film and television programs for him, and in those years, he relied on these performances and became a small star, lingering in various activities every day.
Until I grow older, my cognition gradually becomes sound. He suddenly realized that the people who invited him to perform various shows were not essentially appreciating his talent, but were showing him as some kind of "monster". And the audience cheering from the audience was not watching his performances, singing and dancing, but just looking for curiosity.
Participating in the monkey of Huaguo Mountain
This made him very disappointed, and even began to resentful of everything. The most hated thing is naturally his own hair, which makes it difficult for him to integrate into this society, like a "monster" on the fringes of society. Fortunately, at this time, his parents gave him great warmth, hoping that he could learn some skills that he really liked and be a person he wanted to be. He has been exposed to showbiz and performance since he was a child, and he chose to become a singer.
Later, he gradually faded out of the public eye and began to learn how to become a singer Xi. He thinks that although he is an outlier in this society in appearance, he does not admit defeat and feels that he can rely on his own efforts and talents to let everyone know him again.
In the process, he released his original song "King Kong", according to his own words, this comes from his own experience, and the feeling of watching foreign "King Kong" movies, although it is different from ordinary people and incompatible with society, but he still chooses to accept himself calmly.
He had met a girlfriend before and didn't have much of an opinion about him. But his girlfriend's parents asked him that if he wanted to get married, he had to go to the hospital for surgery to remove the hair on his body. This also made him finally choose to give up the relationship, because he thought that this was just an escape and could not fundamentally solve the problem of discrimination.
And just a few years ago, he suddenly posted his marriage certificate on the Internet, announcing that his current girlfriend has known and been in love for three years, and now the two are officially married.
Facing his wife, who is a teenager younger than him, the two seem to have a very happy life. Although many people on the Internet questioned it, and there was even some malicious speculation, but the married life of the two looked good, at that time it was said that a doctor advised him that it was best not to have children in this situation, but the two now have a son, the child is healthy and healthy, and he has not inherited his father's hirsutism.

How did the "beast" come about?
Although the life of China's "hairy child" has also faced many twists and turns, his ending is good after all. But the historical Pieteryles is much more miserable, and his experience is considered by some scholars to be the prototype of the "Beast" in "Beauty and the Beast".
When he was born, he was covered in hair, and the society at that time was even regarded as some kind of "animal". His family abandoned him shortly after he was born, but fortunately several monks picked him up and raised him.
However, unfortunate things happened, and at the age of ten he was given to the king of the time as a "rare beast" to please the king and queen. Fortunately, the king found that he could actually speak, and even arranged for some teachers to teach him to see if he could learn.
Little Peter worked very hard and soon mastered fluency in the language and noble manners, shocking people inside and outside the court. This made the king admire him very much, and even assigned him a certain position. Be allowed to dress like a nobleman and enjoy a normal life.
Unfortunately, despite the amount of respect he enjoyed in the court, he was sometimes treated as a pet and was entertained by onlookers. Even when the painter painted portraits of court personnel, he was depicted as a savage.
Unlike in the story, there is an "evil" queen in reality, and that is Queen Catherine. With the death of the king at that time, she relied on her son to run the palace at that time. She was very curious about the union of Beauty and the Beast and wanted to see what kind of child would be born from such a combination. For this purpose, she arranged for a servant's daughter to marry Peter.
At first the girl was desperate, but as time went on, she realized that Peter was not some inhuman monster, but a man like them, but just different in appearance, and quickly accepted him. But they didn't understand that this was just the beginning, and their children would eventually become the pets of the nobles.
Unlike the ending in the story that has been adapted by later generations, they did not break the curse in the end and lived a happy life.

The tragic life of the "ugliest woman".
Another unfortunate person was once called "the ugliest woman in the world". From birth, she showed a distinctive appearance. She is born with hereditary hirsutism, which causes her whole body to be covered in hard, thick black hair, including various parts of her face and body. In addition, her chin and forehead protrude, making her facial features stand out even more.
Due to her peculiar appearance, she has experienced a difficult life. It was even displayed to the public as a "female savage" and became part of various viewing performances and entertainment programs. It is also often taken to various cities and countries for touring performances, attracting a large audience. People were curious, shocked, and even disgusted by her appearance.
Despite the physical ridicule and discrimination, she did not see herself as an exhibit. And she has a good musical talent, not only singing very well, but also playing certain musical instruments and dancing well.
Julia's story has garnered some attention and sympathy, including a stage agent named Rand. The two quickly fell in love, and Rand became Julia's manager and partner, helping her promote her show. They traveled together throughout Europe and the Americas, and Julia's performances grew in recognition.
Unfortunately, misfortune did not leave this poor man, and her life journey was not too long. During her pregnancy, complications arose that led to the death of her and her child in 1860.
Although Julia's life is full of difficulties and challenges, her ending is also full of absurd irony. But her story has become one of the most important examples of how people focus on inclusivity and respect for others' physical appearance and personal differences. In today's society, people tend to place more emphasis on intrinsic values and personal traits, viewing physical appearance as only a part of a person, rather than judging a person as a whole.
And modern medicine has come a long way, and there are better ways to diagnose and treat congenital hirsutism. Despite this, research on congenital hereditary hirsutism is still relatively limited due to the extreme rarity of the disease. Respect and tolerance are the attitudes we should have towards people with congenital hirsutism and other rare diseases. We should strive to promote social awareness, provide fair and dignified treatment for patients, and help them integrate into society and enjoy equal rights.
is born with an external image, in fact, everyone has little ability to change. But everyone is unique in their own way, and the inner traits and individuality of each person should be respected and cherished, regardless of the appearance. It is important to be inclusive and kind to others and avoid hurting, discriminating or ridiculing them. Efforts should be made to create a social environment that is positive, friendly and respectful of the differences of others. #文章首发挑战赛#
