Data show that in China, the proportion of premature babies is as high as 10%, that is, 10 out of every 100 children born are premature. Premature babies are babies whose gestational age is less than 39 weeks, and because of preterm birth, they tend to be much worse than babies born of normal gestational age in many ways.
For example, they breathe irregularly, have a fast heart rate, poor sucking power, insensitive response, incomplete growth and development, and so on. However, in our country, the mortality rate of premature babies has also reached 12.7% to 20.8%. In other words, it is not easy for premature babies to survive! What a terrible number.
Premature babies are also a group that is very popular with the public, because many of them will have congenital defects, and in the show business circle, there is such a person.

Hou Xiang was born in Beijing in 1985, and his mother often fell ill when she was pregnant with him, and eventually gave birth prematurely due to an accident. According to his father, Hou Xiang was only 2 or 3 pounds when he was born, and babies born of normal gestational age weighed about 6 to 8 pounds.
Due to premature birth, Hou Xiang became the focus of the hospital as soon as he was born, and it can be said that it is already a miracle that he can survive. His parents are also very precious, and in the face of their premature son, they blame themselves and take care of him with more love.
At first, Hou Xiang, who was born prematurely, was not much different from other children born of normal gestational age, until he was 6 or 7 years old, and his parents realized that something was wrong. My son's appearance has not changed much in the past few years, not to mention, it is the age of the eldest but has not grown.
Hou Xiang's father was very anxious and looked around for medical treatment, and the result was that Hou Xiang was likely to have a physical defect caused by premature birth, which is often called "dwarf". Until Hou Xiang was 9 years old, his appearance and height had hardly changed. The height has also been fixed at 1.58 meters.
At that time, he was still young and did not realize that he was different from others, and he did not have this awareness until junior high school, which once made him very inferior, and he was not less ridiculed by others. His parents saw that their sons were different and felt very guilty and remorseful, and washed their faces with tears all day.

Even though he was sad and sad, he knew that he would continue to walk in the future. In order not to let parents continue to worry and blame themselves. He began to digest his emotions, face life positively, and plan for his future.
His father knew his son's situation and felt that there was not much way out if he wanted to go to college and find a good job according to the normal path of a child, because no regular good company would hire him.
So under his father's planning, Hou Xiang was admitted to the Chaoyang District Art Vocational College in Beijing and began to study art, and at the beginning he was not favored by everyone. After all, in the show business circle, which is not thin, tall, and outstanding.
But Hou Xiang was not affected by these sounds, and it was precisely because of his own difference that Hou Xiang was desperately trying to learn knowledge during his school years, hoping to one day rise to the top. At the age of 18, he ushered in the first opportunity in his life and got the role of Guan Ming in "Very Small Courtyard". It can also be regarded as his official debut.
Although there are not many scenes in the play, it can also be regarded as leaving an impression on everyone and making a good start to his career. In 2003, the 19-year-old Hou Xiang once again ushered in his career and was invited to participate in an ordinary supporting role in "Family with Children". In the play, he played "Huang Feihong", a classmate of "Liu Xing" played by Zhang Yishan.

At that time, after the broadcast of "Family with Children", many people thought that the two were similar in age, in fact, Hou Xiang, who was 19 years old at the time, was 6 years older than Zhang Yishan, who was 13 years old. It is also the broadcast of this play that makes this hou xiang with a baby's face and a low height but a very superb acting skill stand out.

It also made Hou Xiang's career usher in a peak period. Later, he starred in a series of popular TV dramas such as costume dramas "Once Upon a Time in China", "Tunnel Warfare", "Ten Sending the Red Army", and "Dream of the New Red Chamber". Every role he portrays is not only fresh in the minds of the audience, but also praised by many predecessors in the show business circle.

Although the innate conditions limit his play path, fortunately, he can see thoroughly, and the physical reasons bring both limitations and opportunities. He said: "As an actor, everyone hopes to have a broad path and try more roles, but I think if you can "eat through" all the roles in a range, it should also be regarded as a success of the actor." ”

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="221" > third, brave pursuit of love</h1>
After Hou Xiang became an adult, his parents felt that according to his conditions, it would be difficult to marry a daughter-in-law, so they would not force him, so as not to make the already peaceful life unpleasant. Neighbors are also waiting to see the bustle.
And Hou Xiang, even if his heart is very yearning for love, he is helpless and has to accept reality.
Until 2013, the 28-year-old Hou Xiang accidentally met his junior high school classmate and crush Zhao Yin, and after knowing that the other party was still unmarried, Hou Xiang was very happy.
But he is also very afraid, he wants to pursue his love, but he is afraid that the other party will dislike and refuse and eventually even be friends. But he did not want to give up such a good opportunity, and after months of deliberation, Hou Xiang still bravely showed love to Zhao Yin. Also in this year, Hou Xiang hugged the beauty, although the comments from the outside world are very unfriendly, but the two have always used actions to prove the love between them.
Zhao Yin was distressed that Hou Xiang was working hard to shoot the scene, not only often visited, but also brought some delicious meals for him. According to the crew, every time Zhao Yin came to the crew to see Hou Xiang, he would greet everyone cordially, and the two were also very in love. Even in Hou Xiang's social media, the two people in the same frame often appear.

Many times, "fate closes a door for you, it will open a window for you", there are many people in the world who have been tested by God in advance. When they come into this world, they are different from most people, but this does not prevent them from loving life, nor does it prevent everyone from taking care of and protecting them together.
In the face of misfortune in life, we should not be negative, we should not give up on life, self-hatred and self-pity. We should accept reality, turn emotions into strength, find another way out, turn disadvantages into advantages, and find things that are suitable and passionate about ourselves. And to complete it well, to live your own day, everyone has the right to pursue the good, everyone is born equal.
