Time flies, time flies. Now Wang Ziqi has entered the threshold of thirty years old, looking back on her growth path, she found that her life is so full of hardships and twists and turns, like a lingering nightmare.
Suffering from physical mutilation since childhood, she has no unusual appearance, but before puberty, she unfortunately reveals the hidden gender characteristics of her body: she has both male and female reproductive organs in her body.
This cruel reality was like a thunderbolt from the sky, hitting her originally pure and flawless heart heavily. What followed was the questioning and discrimination of others, and the indifferent eyes of relatives and friends pierced her heart deeply.
Even her own parents could not show her any mercy, and finally expelled her from the house, cutting off all contact.
However, even though life has imposed so many hardships on her, Wang Ziqi has never given up her yearning for the life of an ordinary woman. She longs to have a sincere love, have children of her own, and live an ordinary and happy life, no longer being guided and discussed by others.
Now, finally waiting for the opportunity to change her fate through surgery, she is full of anticipation, perhaps, her dream can really come true.
Before telling the story of Wang Ziqi, we need to understand the concept of "intersex". They are born with both male and female reproductive organs, a phenomenon known in the medical field as "congenital malformations of the sexual organs".
Although the chance of this happening is extremely small, about 1 in 10 million, such a group of people do exist all around us.
They have been burdened with this "abnormality" since the day they were born, and they are destined to face all kinds of difficulties and psychological pressures in life. Because the general public knows little about it, they are often perceived as "freaks", which leads to discrimination and exclusion.
However, they are just a group of innocent victims, born with such disabilities and stigma.
The starting point of the story is Wang Ziqi's hometown, a remote mountain village in Taiyuan, Shanxi Province. In 1989, she was born in an ordinary and warm rural family, and spent a happy childhood with her brother and hard-working parents.
However, all the good things came to an abrupt end on the afternoon of her third grade.
On that day, Wang Ziqi accidentally discovered an abnormality in his private parts in the toilet, and a different "object" grew there.
At first, she was young and ignorant, and she didn't know anything about it, but was confused.
After the family noticed the problem, the whole family immediately fell into extreme panic, and did not hesitate to take Wang Ziqi to the local hospital for a comprehensive examination.
However, the diagnosis given by the doctor surprised everyone! After meticulous in-depth analysis and careful observation, the attending doctor concluded that Wang Ziqi was suffering from "congenital hermaphroditism"! It turned out that her body actually had both a woman's uterus and ovaries, as well as a man's reproductive organs.
This news was like a thunderbolt from the sky, and it broke down the spiritual defense of the whole family.
Especially the two parents, they simply can't accept this cruel truth. They regarded their daughter as a "disgrace to the family", and their hearts were filled with deep shame and helplessness.
Since then, the warm and harmonious family atmosphere has disappeared, replaced by a gaze of indifference and betrayal.
Since the day of diagnosis, Wang Ziqi's life has fallen into an endless dark abyss. The villagers in the small mountain village where she lives have no qualms about treating her as a "freak" and shunning her.
Relatives and friends have also chosen to stay away from her, former friends have left her, and the former intimacy no longer exists.
To make matters worse, even the younger children began to laugh at her, calling her "gay" and "perverted". In school, both male and female classmates avoided her, isolated her, and some people would even harass her with waste paper and garbage, and abuse came and went.
The home that had given her warmth and security was gradually becoming out of reach. In the face of accusations from the outside world, her parents never put themselves in her shoes to understand her predicament, but regarded her as a "sin" and "shame" in the family.
The father said coldly, "You have brought tragedy to our family!" and the mother's eyes were full of disgust and contempt.
In this way, Wang Ziqi was homeless and could only bear the loneliness of life and the pain of being uprooted from her homeland alone. As expected, when she became an adult, her parents completely abandoned and drove her away, all contact information was cut off, and she could only wander around outside.
After leaving his hometown, Wang Ziqi's life fell into an even more difficult predicament. Due to the effects of hormones in her body, her appearance is getting closer to that of a man, her voice is low and rough, and her skin is covered with a rough beard.
Despite her efforts to dress herself, dress up in feminine clothes and wear light makeup, she still can't completely hide this physical trait.
The process of finding a job is like a huge nightmare for Wang Ziqi! No matter which company she is in, once her unique flaws are discovered, she will immediately suffer ruthless dismissal.
At one point, a colleague who inadvertently bumped into her embarrassing toilet scene immediately reported it to the department manager, leaving her in a difficult situation.
Soon after, she received a notice from the company's HR department: "Due to your special situation, which may have a negative impact on our entire team, we have decided to dismiss you".
When it comes to accommodation, she also faces a lot of difficulties. No one, whether male or female, wanted to admit her in the same room.
Even if she chooses to rent a house, the neighbors around her regard her as a "freak" and avoid her.
In public, she didn't even dare to go to the toilet easily, lest she be found out by others and suffer endless humiliation and abuse.
Coupled with her long-term unemployment, Wang Ziqi's financial situation is becoming increasingly embarrassing, and she cannot even afford the cost of gender transition surgery.
Every day, she reflected deeply: why fate always played so tricks on me, why I was always misunderstood and blamed, and the pain and emptiness in my heart could not be described in words.
However, despite such a harsh living environment, Wang Ziqi never gave up her dream and hope of pursuing a "real woman". In order to change the situation, she began to dress herself carefully, with long hair tied into a ponytail, frequent makeup, and constant shaving of her beard, hoping to reshape her self-image through a change in appearance.
Just when she was at the lowest point in her life, life opened a new window for her. When two close friends learned of her predicament, they did not hesitate to lend a helping hand and were willing to sponsor her for surgery.
With the encouragement and support of her friends, the flame of hope was rekindled.
What's even more exciting is that a hospital recently offered to perform surgery on her free of charge. When she heard the good news, Wang Ziqi was deeply grateful and felt that there were still so many kind people in the society, and she had not been completely forgotten.
She is full of endless anticipation for the future. Perhaps after surgery, she will be able to completely change her fate, live an ordinary life, have her own family and children, and no longer suffer from the guidance and discrimination of others.
This was once an unattainable dream for her.
Although she has experienced a lot of cold eyes, the grind of life has made her more tenacious and mature. She has never given up her deep yearning for a better life, and has always worked hard to change her destiny with courage and perseverance.
As long as you unswervingly hold the flame of hope in your heart, you will be able to pass through the darkness and finally find your own path of light!
