Walking on the street, Zhu Jie, who is only a little over a meter tall, is often mistaken for a child, but don't be deceived by her size, Zhu Jie has already passed the age of standing, but she has stopped growing since junior high school and was diagnosed as a "pocket person".
In 2009, Zhu Jie met Master Qin, who had a similar fate to her, in a theater troupe.
The two hit it off at first sight, and after knowing each other and cherishing each other, they finally became married, and they held a grand wedding in a park in Dalian, attracting countless passers-by.
When they saw the true identities of the two, people were surprised that the bride and groom were actually pocket-sized people who were just over one meter tall!
However, after 12 years of marriage, this special couple chose to part ways.
How did Zhu Jie and Bachelor Qin meet, and what kind of life did they live after the divorce?
Zhu Jie was diagnosed with dwarfism after birth, which was undoubtedly a huge blow to the family, and the parents thought that they would give birth to a healthy baby, but they never thought that the child would suffer from this rare genetic disease.
At first, Zhu Jie's parents didn't pay much attention to it. They thought that this was just an individual difference in the growth and development of children, and Zhu Jie would be able to grow taller in the future.
But with the passage of time, Zhu Jie's height has not increased significantly, but is much shorter than children of the same age, and her figure also shows some special symptoms.
When Zhu Jie was 5 years old, her parents finally took her for a detailed examination, and the doctor diagnosed her with dwarfism.
The family was in a state of extreme confusion and anguish.
As parents, they blame themselves in their hearts, wondering if they have done something wrong that will cause their children to inherit this disease.
Since then, Zhu Jie's parents have been running around like a marathon, seeking various opportunities for treatment.
They searched all over the famous hospitals at home and abroad, consulted medical experts, and spent a lot of money and energy, but Zhu Jie's condition never improved.
Just when Zhu Jie's parents were about to give up, an old Chinese medicine doctor gave a glimmer of hope, he prescribed some Chinese herbal medicine prescriptions, and told Zhu Jie's parents to stick to it.
As a result, Zhu Jie's parents rekindled their hope for treatment, and let Zhu Jie take some "strange" drugs according to the instructions of the old Chinese medicine doctor.
However, it is disappointing that after long-term persistence, Zhu Jie's height has not increased significantly.
Looking at his daughter, who is getting older and older, but her figure is still as petite as a baby, Zhu Jie's father began to have the idea of giving up.
He thinks that if he continues like this, he will only waste money in vain, so it is better to let go and let Zhu Jie adapt to this society by himself.
However, Zhu Jie's mother firmly disagreed, and as a mother, she was unwilling to give up her daughter's treatment no matter what.
She has always believed that as long as she doesn't give up, there is still hope, and one day she will wait for her daughter's physical recovery.
Due to the huge difference in concepts, the contradiction between Zhu Jie's parents intensified, and finally she chose to divorce inextricably.
Since then, Zhu Jie has been in charge of all affairs by her mother.
The poor living environment made life very difficult for the mother and daughter, but Zhu Jie's mother never gave up hope of treating her daughter.
While taking care of the housework, she worked everywhere to take out loans, even on credit, just to find the best treatment for her daughter.
It is her mother's indomitable love and dedication that Zhu Jie was able to overcome one difficulty after another until she became an adult.
She often said that it was her mother's support and encouragement that gave her infinite courage and strength to face life's challenges.
In 2009, Zhu Jie was just over 20 years old and was in the golden years of her life.
As a petite dwarf girl, she has not had a clear plan for her future development path, and she has lived a relatively closed life since she was a child, and she does not know much about the outside world.
Zhu Jie has suffered from dwarfism since she was a child, and she has endured cold eyes and discrimination in school and society.
She wanted to give up her dream and live a life without fighting the world several times, but every time she thought of her mother's hard work and sweat for her treatment, she was full of courage to move forward.
Just when Zhu Jie was feeling confused about the prospects of her life, one day she happened to see an advertisement on the Internet, which recruited some actors with special body shapes to join the "Pocket Man Shadow Puppet Art Troupe".
Zhu Jie became interested in this. For one, this is a completely new field, which may help her re-examine her life; Second, the troupe deliberately recruited some actors with short stature, indicating that it was a relatively tolerant and friendly environment.
In this way, Zhu Jie signed up for this troupe without hesitation.
After joining the troupe, Zhu Jie's life finally had meaning and guidance, and she devoted herself to rehearsals and performances, reaping countless joys and a sense of accomplishment.
The huge family-like atmosphere of the troupe also made Zhu Jie feel the warmth and tolerance that she had never felt before, and she seemed to have found the sustenance and belonging of her soul.
And here Zhu Jie also met the other half who was about to be with her for more than ten years, he was also a "pocket man" Bachelor Qin.
Unlike Zhu Jie, Master Qin had no intention of joining the troupe at first.
Since he was a child, he has had a dream of becoming a good doctor when he grows up, to save lives and save lives.
Bachelor Qin is the only son in the family, and his parents are also ordinary workers, but they are very supportive and agree with his son's ideal of becoming a doctor.
Everything seemed to be steadily moving in the ideal direction, but by the age of 8, Master Qin's height had reached 1.3 meters, much taller than his peers.
However, in that year, Bachelor Qin's height growth suddenly stopped.
Other children of the same age continue to grow taller, but he seems to be nailed to the same place, and he will not be able to grow even a centimeter taller no matter what.
At first, the family didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that it might be due to individual differences in growth and development.
But a year, two years, and three years have passed, and Master Qin's height has always remained at the level of 1.3 meters, and he can't break through no matter what.
Bachelor Qin was also very depressed, he often recalled his ambitions and ideals when he was young, wanting to put on a snow-white coat and hold a stethoscope to treat patients.
And now, that dream seems to be elusive.
Being short is not an advantage for being a doctor, but can be a big obstacle.
The height of the operating table, the height of the hospital bed, etc., many seemingly insignificant details can cause great inconvenience to a short doctor.
His family, relatives and friends were all worried about Master Qin's dream, and persuaded him to change careers and stop thinking about becoming a doctor.
But Master Qin did not give up, he stubbornly believed that as long as he had excellent medical skills, why should he not be able to exert his strength? One of his thoughts was how to pursue his ideals on the road of medicine.
What's even more frustrating is that although Master Qin's theoretical grades are among the best, and although he has extraordinary medical talent, he is not tall enough, so he is destined to not be able to show his skills in the operating room.
After graduating from university, in order to pursue his ideals, Master Qin interned in many hospitals, but because of his stature, he was rejected and rejected without exception.
Some doctors bluntly stated that his height was not suitable for the job of a surgeon; Although some hospitals are willing to hire him, they can only arrange for him to work in medical auxiliary work.
This is undoubtedly a heavy blow to Master Qin, who has always pursued to become an excellent doctor. He felt that his life ideals had come to naught, and the disappointment in his heart could be imagined.
At this moment, he stumbled upon a job advertisement for the "Pocket Man Shadow Puppet Art Troupe", which read: "Welcome petite actor friends to join our big family".
Master Qin thinks that he can try, even if it is just to pass the time, it is better than being depressed all day.
So Master Qin joined the troupe, at first he planned to find a job here temporarily, and then make plans when he had a better development direction, but what he didn't expect was that the performing arts of the troupe soon attracted the heart of Master Qin.
Acting, practicing, and learning from his partners made him feel unprecedented fun.
So, Bachelor Qin completely let go of his obsession with being a doctor and decided to start a new chapter in his life in the troupe.
Zhu Jie and Master Qin met during a group rehearsal of the troupe.
At the time, both were new members of the troupe and were arranged to work together during rehearsals.
At first, the impression of each other was not very good, Zhu Jie saw that although Master Qin was petite, he was taller than herself, and she couldn't help but feel a little jealous and unhappy.
And Mr. Qin's first impression of Zhu Jie was that he was lively and cheerful, but he was too flamboyant and outgoing, which made people a little uncomfortable.
But with the increase in time together, Master Qin was still deeply attracted by Zhu Jie's sincerity, kindness and positive optimism.
In this way, Master Qin began his passionate pursuit of Zhu Jie.
At the beginning, he just expressed his heart through some small intimate behaviors, such as helping Zhu Jie carry heavy objects and solving some small troubles in her life.
Although Zhu Jie was a little confused, she didn't show much resistance.
Gradually, Master Qin's behavior became more active and enthusiastic, and he would praise Zhu Jie's talent and virtues, often showing a shy smile in front of her.
Sometimes they even give small gifts to express their inner throbbing and affection.
Zhu Jie was moved by Bachelor Qin's enthusiasm, and began to have some similar feelings in her heart, and agreed to be Bachelor Qin's girlfriend.
In 2010, Zhu Jie decided to sign up for the popular reality show "China's Got Talent", hoping to show her special charm on this stage. As a petite dwarf girl, she has rarely had the opportunity to appear in front of the public since she was a child, and this talent show is undoubtedly an excellent stage.
After the official start of the competition, Zhu Jie received wide attention from the audience as soon as she appeared.
Many viewers have been discussing this "pocket beauty" on social networks, some people think she is cute and interesting, and some people question whether she is suitable for this kind of large-scale variety show.
In the face of all kinds of comments from the outside world, Zhu Jie has never wavered in her inner determination.
With her immature singing voice and ingenious performance, she successfully passed every level and won unanimous praise from the audience.
But what surprised Zhu Jie the most at the show was that her boyfriend Bachelor Qin proposed to her on the spot!
It turned out that Master Qin had already secretly planned this romantic marriage proposal ceremony, and he secretly invited Zhu Jie's family and friends to arrange a warm and romantic scene.
In the cheers of the audience, Master Qin knelt on one knee and sweetly proposed to Zhu Jie.
Although both of them are petite and pocket-sized people, their love is so pure and romantic, which moved countless people present.
Although Zhu Jie was a little at a loss at first, she quickly accepted Master Qin's marriage proposal.
This marriage proposal was filmed by all the viewers and went viral on the Internet, and everyone sent their blessings, hoping that this special little couple can grow old together and grow old with their son.
Although their married life is happy and happy, as a member of a special group, Bachelor Qin and Zhu Jie often encounter some social prejudices and misunderstandings, which makes them feel helpless and frustrated.
For example, when dining out, many waiters will look at them with a strange eye; For example, Zhu Jie wants to buy some daily necessities, which often attracts sideways glances and whispers from passers-by.
This kind of unfriendly gaze and behavior made Master Qin and Zhu Jie feel very hurt and aggrieved.
But what made them even more stressful was the issue of fertility.
Some people believe that if a pocket person gives birth, the child is also very likely to inherit this "defect", while others feel that it is a cruelty for the child to give birth to a child, because they cannot give the child a normal life and growth environment.
Childbearing is a basic right that everyone has, but why are they deprived of this right just because of their size?
Zhu Jie often can't sleep at night, she wants to have a child of her own, but she can't bear to let the child inherit her own disease, and suffer from the cold eyes and discrimination of society.
They have seen many specialists and consulted various assisted reproduction options, but they have always lingered in risks and concerns.
As a pocket-sized couple, they aspire to have a healthy child, but at the same time, they are deeply afraid that the child will inherit their diseases and defects, and thus suffer from the cold eyes and discrimination of society.
With the passage of time, the fertility problem became a contradiction between Master Qin and Zhu Jie.
In November 2023, they had to announce their divorce, and Zhu Jie's mother even bluntly spoke about Bachelor Qin's domestic violence on the Internet, although she was accused of "rumors" by Bachelor Qin, but the two families completely tore their faces.
After the divorce, Zhu Jie did not collapse.
Instead, she chose to face life positively and optimistically, pursuing her own independence and freedom.
Zhu Jie began to broadcast live on the Internet, sharing her life and experience with the audience, with years of stage experience, coupled with her natural liveliness and cleverness, Zhu Jie quickly won wide popularity in the online live broadcast industry.
At the same time, Zhu Jie also began to pay attention to the quality of life, reading some useful books to enrich her spiritual world, and occasionally traveling together to relax and enjoy the magnificent scenery of nature.
Every bit of life made Zhu Jie feel an unprecedented sense of happiness and fulfillment.
She treats herself as an independent individual, and no longer focuses her entire life on marriage and family as she used to.
When fate gives us setbacks, don't be discouraged, but overcome it with more tenacity and perseverance, only in this way can we go more and more wonderful on the road of life, and finally realize the ideal and happiness in our hearts.
Zhu Jie rediscovered the joy of life and the direction of career development after the divorce, showing an admirable positive attitude.
I wish her the road in the future to be broader and broader, and to be able to continue to pursue her own happy life.
At the same time, I also wish that Mr. Qin and all "special" people can overcome the obstacles in life with perseverance and courage, live a wonderful life, and harvest their own fulfillment and happiness.
