Child stars are an indispensable presence in the show business world.
Cute and flexible children can add luster to film and television dramas.
Yang Mi's childhood
They are the envy of many people: they are bright and beautiful at a young age, and they can make a lot of money by showing their faces.
However, some parents seize this point and use their children as cash cows, causing their children a lifelong tragedy.
Today, I would like to tell you about the tragic child star - Ji Baoru.
In 1962, the cries of babies came from a family in Taiwan surnamed Ji.
Not long after, a boy fell to the ground, and the family was overjoyed; then, another girl also came to the human world, and their faces changed instantly.
In that feudal era, the girls in the "dragon and phoenix fetus" were unlucky.
This girl is Ji Baoru.
Her birth was considered an ominous omen.
Her parents were reluctant to raise her and threw her to her patriarchal grandmother.
Since childhood, Ji Baoru has been beaten and scolded by his grandmother and has lived a difficult life.
Because of his cute appearance, he is often praised by neighbors.
Her grandmother thought to herself:
"This money-losing thing looks so cute, if only she could make money."
Soon, Grandma saw an opportunity.
In 1967, the TV station was selecting young actors.
Grandma called Ji Baoru to her side, told her to cry within 10 seconds, and promised to give her money as soon as she cried.
5-year-old Ji Bao really burst into tears in 10 seconds.
Grandma saw that she was a good seedling and immediately sent her to the TV station.
In this way, Ji Baoru entered the entertainment circle, opened the road of child stars, and became a "cash cow".
In 1971, Ji Baoru became popular in the streets with a song "Ten Thousand Miles to Find Mother".
After that, 200 MORE TV series were made and 4 records were released.
On her small shoulders, she not only shouldered the heavy responsibility of supporting the family, but also helped her father pay off his debts.
This also set the stage for future tragedies.
Ji Baoru is like a numb money-making machine, never feeling the warmth of his family.
In order to better control her, grandma did not let her go to school and forbade her to interact with her peers.
When she was not filming, he locked her in the house and did not allow her to have contact with outsiders.
At the age of 13, Ji Baoru was in adolescence, and her grandmother was worried that she would change her voice and could not continue to make money.
So he took her to a private clinic, got a "growth suppression injection", and forced her to corset her breasts to control her development.

Since then, Ji Baoru has never grown tall again, always only 149 centimeters, maintaining a childlike voice.
She lost the right to grow up forever.
The persecution of her original family made her lose confidence in life.
She felt inferior and wanted to commit suicide several times.
At this time, fate gave her another ray of light.
Grandma's perverted control over Ji Baoru lasted for 14 years.
It wasn't until she was 19 years old that her grandmother was hospitalized due to illness and was unable to accompany her to events.
Ji Baoru ushered in the spring:
At the event, she met Yu Long, the younger brother of the singer Yu Tian.
This man was 9 years older than her, did not dislike her height, and greeted her warmly.
For the first time, Ji Baoru felt the taste of being loved.
After falling in love, Ji Baoru happily told his father about the love affair.
Unexpectedly, her father gave her a slap:
"What a love affair you're talking about! Don't forget that you're a child star, don't do anything that destroys your image, give me good money to go! ”
This slap made Ji Baoru's heart completely cold.
So she left home without looking back, quit the show business circle and eloped with Yu Long to get married.
After marriage, the two had 3 sons.
They started their careers from scratch, made a lot of money in stock trading, and lived a happy life.
But unfortunately, such days are not long.
The stock market plummeted and their possessions evaporated overnight.
At the same time, Yu Long derailed.
The double pressure of economy and spirit made Ji Baoru collapse endlessly.
Ji Baoru stuck to the bottom line, refused to forgive Yu Long, and insisted on divorce.
Unexpectedly, Before Yu Long could sign the divorce agreement, he was killed by a fire.
All hatred disappeared with Yu Long's death.
After Yu Long's death, her mother-in-law scolded her Kefu.
Ji Baoru had to take his 3 sons out to rent a house and raise them alone.
Uncultured, she found a job in a bar to make ends meet.
As a result, she fell in love with alcoholism, unconscious every day, and scolded her children.
He became the kind of person he once hated the most.
In such a bad atmosphere, her eldest son suffered from anxiety and her second son became addicted to drugs.
They had said that the grumpy mother was their shadow.
Ji Baoru finally woke up and felt that she had killed the child, and she began to cheer up.
She quit drinking, worked hard to earn money, took her eldest son to the doctor, and sent her second son to detoxification.
It took six years to turn things around.
Now that the children are on the right track, their relationship with her has gradually eased.
And she also sees through life, lets go of obsession, and cherishes the present.

Now, Ji Baoru devotes himself to public welfare, shoots TV dramas, and often speaks with his own experience.
The unbearable past became the driving force for her to move forward, allowing her to embrace the world again.
