The seven-year-old girl turned out to be an "old woman".
Such a strange thing happened to Zeng Xiaoshan, when she was seven years old, her skin began to gradually age, and she looked like an old woman.
However, it is strange that she turned into a child again when she became an adult. What is going on, what secrets are hidden in Zeng Xiaoshan's body?
All of the statements in this article are based on reliable sources and are reproduced at the end of this article
Sick at a young age, his parents divorced
Zeng Xiaoshan was born in an ordinary family in 1994, and she could have had a happy childhood, but such an unfortunate thing happened.
Zeng Xiaoshan's growth rate is significantly slower than that of other children, and when she has not yet learned to walk, other children have begun to run and play. Although her parents initially thought it was just a developmental delay, over time they began to realize the seriousness of the matter.
Zeng Xiaoshan's parents were hard-working farmers, and although they were not wealthy, they did their best to provide the best living conditions for their daughter. However, as Zeng Xiaoshan grew older, her appearance and intelligence began to show abnormalities. Her skin began to become rough and wrinkled, her hair became thin, and she looked like an old woman.
This abnormal aging phenomenon left Zeng Xiaoshan's parents deeply confused and helpless. In this rural area, where modern medical facilities are lacking, Zeng's parents tried various methods to seek treatment. They took Zeng Xiaoshan everywhere to seek medical treatment, but the medical technology at that time was limited, and it was impossible to determine the cause of Zeng Xiaoshan's illness, let alone provide an effective treatment plan.
This feeling of powerlessness plunged Zeng's family into deep despair. Zeng Xiaoshan's family is poor, and her parents are hardworking and kind, and although life is full of hardships, they are always full of hope for their daughter's future. However, the impermanence of fate has put this small family in an unprecedented predicament.
Zeng Xiaoshan was diagnosed with a rare brain tumor that not only affected her physical appearance, making her look much older than her actual age, but also severely affected her intelligence and health. Faced with such a heavy blow, Zeng Xiaoshan's parents were in deep despair. The high cost of medical care is undoubtedly an astronomical amount for this poor family, who cannot afford such a burden.
Despite their best efforts to seek treatment for their daughter, under the pressure of reality, Zeng's mother eventually chose to leave, leaving Zeng and her father to live together. Zeng Xiaoshan's father never gave up on his daughter, and he worked hard while raising money everywhere, hoping to find a ray of life for his daughter.
But unfortunately, another unfortunate thing happened, which also made the already not wealthy family even worse!
Something unfortunate happened, and my father passed away unexpectedly
Since Zeng Xiaoshan was examined for a strange illness, her father took her around to seek medical advice, hoping to cure her illness. Zeng Xiaoshan's body was weak, and her father had to tie her to her back and fix her with a strip of cloth.
In order to pay for expensive medical expenses, my father had to look for short-term jobs in various places. Despite the heavy work and meager pay, he never complains for the sake of his daughter's health. Many employers were touched by his tenacity and perseverance and reached out to provide various facilities and financial support.
Her father always turned this help into life-saving money for his daughter, but he was frugal, sometimes even having to rummage through the trash can to feed his hunger. When the physical strength is exhausted, the father will take his daughter to beg. Upon learning of their situation, well-wishers generously donated a large amount to the father and daughter.
They relied on each other, walked through eight or nine years, and traveled half of China, but the cause of their daughter's strange illness was never found. After a long period of hard work, Zeng Xiaoshan's father's physical condition was not as good as before, and his health was seriously endangered by years of hard work and poor living environment.
Zeng Xiaoshan's father was also well aware of his condition, but he never dared to go to the hospital for examination, because he was worried that if he collapsed, who would pay for his daughter's expensive treatment? It was the first time he had shed tears since they left their hometown.
He knew that his life was coming to an end, but he had no regrets. He has spent his whole life working hard to make ends meet, and even if he can survive, he will not be able to change the fate of poverty. However, her daughter's life has just begun, and she has not yet seen the world well. Whenever he thought of this, his heart was full of pain and reluctance.
Despite his deteriorating health, the father is still trying to earn money, knowing that his time is running out and that he will use his life to save his daughter's life. However, as fate would have it, during a work trip, he collapsed and was rushed to the hospital. After a detailed examination, he was diagnosed with advanced stomach cancer.
In the hospital bed, the father was in deep despair, he knew that his life was coming to an end, but he was most worried about his daughter's future. He tried to contact his ex-wife, hoping that someone would take care of his daughter after he left, but the phone was filled with an empty tone. He wrote letter after letter, begging his ex-wife to change her mind, but all the letters were like a stone in the sea, and there was no news.
At the last moment of his life, his father held Zeng Xiaoshan's hand tightly, and Zeng Xiaoshan was also sad. So what will Zeng Xiaoshan do after his father dies?
The ending is emotional
Zeng Xiaoshan's deeds also quickly spread on the Internet, attracting the attention and emotion of many netizens. When media reporters learned about Zeng Xiaoshan's experience, they came to interview her, hoping to spread her story further.
This move has attracted widespread attention, and many well-wishers have reached out to help and launched a fundraising campaign. What is touching is that in a short period of time, more than 1,000 well-wishers have extended a helping hand and raised tens of thousands of yuan. This donation is enough to support Zeng Xiaoshan's living expenses for three years and tuition and fees for two years, which has provided her with great help.
During this process, Zeng Xiaoshan's aunts and uncles were always by her side and cared about her physical condition. They traveled around looking for a suitable hospital to treat the tumor on Tsang's pituitary gland. After a period of treatment, Zeng Xiaoshan's health has improved significantly, which makes the two elderly people deeply gratified.
In Zeng Xiaoshan's life, in addition to the care of her uncle and aunt, she also gained her own love. A boy fell in love with Zeng Xiaoshan at first sight, and the two had a spark of love in frequent contact and spent many good times together.
In a variety show, Zhu Yuan plucked up the courage to propose to Zeng Xiaoshan. In the applause and blessings of the audience, the two walked hand in hand into the palace of marriage. This scene touched everyone present, and also made Zeng Xiaoshan deeply feel Zhu Yuan's love for herself.
Zeng Xiaoshan knew that if it were not for the care of her uncle and aunt, she would not have achieved her current achievements. As a result, she has always been deeply grateful to them. She said that she was most grateful to these two kind old men. Zeng Xiaoshan's life course is full of twists and turns and challenges, and it is the love and support of her aunts and uncles and those well-wishers that give her a second life.
