In the 2013 variety show "King Xiao Wang", a "child" named Wu Kang attracted the attention of the audience as soon as he came on stage. The host crouched down and took his ID card and confirmed that he was a 25-year-old adult.
As the shortest of China's pocket-sized people, Wu Kang stopped developing in height and appearance at the age of two. What no one could have imagined is that now 11 years later, with a young body, he has made a fortune by relying on puzzles.
How did he do it, and what hardships did he go through?
All of the information stated in this article is based on reliable sources of information and is detailed at the end of the article
«——[The "child" looking for a job·】——»
At half past five in the morning, before dawn, Wu Kang's family got up. His father went out to buy breakfast for him, and his mother washed him, and this scene played out every day in this house.
Due to Wu Kang's physical reasons, he must finish breakfast before 7:30 in the morning, otherwise his blood sugar will be unstable, which may lead to fainting or coma.
After that, on the way to work, the parents sent Wu Kang to kindergarten by the way. Although he is an adult soul inside, he must maintain communication with the outside world in this way.
Wu Kang was very resistant to kindergarten, and staying with a group of ignorant children made him feel very suffocated. But in order to reassure his parents, he chose to give in.
But today, he has to secretly go out to do a big thing, and that is to find a job.
Taking advantage of the gap in the lunch break, Wu Kang quickly fled towards the planned route and successfully moved away from the kindergarten area.
He first went to a professional agency looking for a job, followed the crowd into the glass door, and handed out the resume that had been prepared long ago to the staff.
I thought it was the child of a candidate, but it turned out that this "child" himself wanted to apply. The man was surprised to say that there were no child laborers here.
Wu Kang, who heard this, was not surprised, and took out his ID card to explain that he was an adult. This effect was even more shocking, and the person in charge of the recruitment market was directly found.
In an instant, all kinds of eyes converged on Wu Kang's body, as if they could burn a hole in him.
Unfortunately, after so many twists and turns, the person in charge still shook his head, saying that the height of the male candidates here must be more than 1.6 meters, and it is obvious that Wu Kang does not meet the requirements.
Wu Kang, who was rejected for the first time, was devastated by it, and on the way back, he met a job advertisement posted at the door, so he went in to ask, but all he got was a negative answer.
When I got home, it was already dark, and when my parents saw Wu Kang come back, their first reaction was to cry with joy, followed by angry questioning.
Wu Kang, who felt guilty, told the truth about his day's experience. And the reason why he is so desperate to find a job is for a simple reason: to make money and then honor his parents.
After understanding their son's thoughts, Wu Kang's parents couldn't help but burst into tears, and their suppressed emotions came to their hearts again.
«——[Desolate life, ruthlessly abandoned·]——»
Two years old seemed like a watershed for Wu Kang, and before that, he had lived carefree.
Wu Jianxiang and Lin Cuiping were introduced by their parents, and they got married early at that time, and they soon had children.
Both of them are less than 20 years old, and they have no experience at all, so naturally they don't know about prenatal checkups, so they have been giving birth until the time of delivery.
The nurse showed them the baby's hands and feet, and the two smiled happily as they looked at the able-bodied and energetic child. No one expected that the future direction of development would no longer be under their control.
First of all, Wu Kang frequently had a fever and was sick, and just saving up money for medicine was a big expense. Gradually, except for high fever, they rarely took their children to the hospital, which also laid the groundwork for the follow-up.
When Wu Kang grew up to two years old, the couple finally discovered something wrong with the prompting of others, compared to children of the same age, Wu Kang was shorter and thinner.
They were frightened into a cold sweat, and hurriedly took their son to a big hospital for examination, and the results also made their eyes dark, Wu Kang was born with dwarfism, and the pituitary gland almost does not secrete growth hormone.
This also means that in the future, his height will always remain at the level of a two-year-old. Lin Cuiping begged the doctor to save her son, but the cost of hormone injections was hundreds of thousands a year, and the family couldn't afford it.
In desperation, Wu Kang could only maintain his height of 72 cm and wait quietly. The couple later had another child, this time a healthy boy.
They hope that their younger brother Wu Fei will be able to take on the responsibility of taking care of his brother when he grows up, and Wu Fei is indeed as sensible as they think, leading his brother wherever he goes.
Where no one cared, Lin Cuiping secretly made a decision. She was unwilling to guard this home where she could see her head at a glance, so she divorced Wu Jianxiang ruthlessly.
Looking at his mother's back without looking back, Wu Kang held Wu Fei's hand tightly like an elder brother, he would definitely support this family, and he would also protect his father and younger brother.

Originally, Wu Jianxiang had no intention of marrying, the departure of his ex-wife made him very painful, and he was afraid that his family would drag others down, but Song Fengying still broke into the life of this family without hesitation.
An unexpected encounter made Wu Jianxiang and his old classmate Song Fengying meet again after many years. After exchanging recent information, she realized that the person she liked at the beginning had such a difficult time.
Later, it was logical that she walked into this home and took care of Wu Kang and Wu Fei's two children without complaint and raised them. Whether they are related by blood or not, they have long accepted her after years of getting along.
Song Fengying carefully noticed Wu Kang's talent for puzzles, as if he could completely reproduce them with just one glance at each time.
After discussing with Wu Jianxiang, the two encouraged him to give full play to his talents, and gritted his teeth to save money to help Wu Kang buy a computer, so that he could communicate with the outside world to the greatest extent.
Through the online world, Wu Kang not only made like-minded friends, but also pondered opening an online store to sell puzzles and undertake the business of helping people to put together.
Because he is very capable, some people call him "Brother Kang", Wu Kang likes this title very much, in the online world, he can better protect himself from being ridiculed, nor being pitied, and he struggles with both hands.
Now, Wu Kang's puzzle business is on the right track, and he has slowly earned money and has the ability to help share the responsibilities of his family.
In the face of the injustice of fate, he did not complain but worked hard to save himself, so as to truly tap the value of his life and create a miracle.
