1978, Zhou Zhou was born on April Fool's Day, but on this day, God played a joke on his fate.
He was diagnosed with Down syndrome, a chromosomal abnormality. He has one more chromosome 2 1 than normal people, which means that Zhou Zhou is only a few years old, and he will be like this all his life.
Zhou Zhou's father, Hu Peihou, is the bass player of Wuhan Symphony Orchestra. He chose to accept the fact that his son is a patient with Down syndrome. His son was born with a congenital disability, which no one wants. But since it happened, it's no use complaining. He can only accept this result and make some changes for this different life.
At first, Zhou Zhou's mother was hit hard by Zhou Zhou's physical reasons. She can't accept the fact. Just like the film adapted from Zhou Zhou, Zhou Zhou's mother once wanted to leave this world with Zhou Zhou. Hu Peihou comforted his wife again and again. Under the comfort of her husband, Zhou Zhou's mother slowly accepted this fact. Finally, the husband and wife made plans for the future of Zhou Zhou together.
Because the couple were worried that no one would take care of Zhou Zhou after they left, they later decided to have another child. When they can't take care of Zhou Zhou, the children can take care of Zhou Zhou. Thus, Zhou Zhou's sister was born.
In order to make Zhou Zhou adapt to the world as much as possible, they began to teach Zhou Zhou some self-care ability, and Zhou Zhou could do what normal children could do.
Hu Peihou has been treating Zhou Zhou rationally. He is afraid that Zhou Zhou will be abandoned by the world. He must be strict with Zhou Zhou and take him to experience life. He said: "It's not so sad to do what you can. The real sorrow is that Zhou Zhou did not know that labor is the most basic condition for his survival. "
Show great interest in music
Because Zhou Zhou can't stay at home alone and Hu Peihou goes to work every day, he takes Zhou Zhou to the symphony orchestra every day. While Hu Peihou was working, Zhou Zhou stayed in the orchestra.
It may be a natural liking, or it may be a long time. Zhou Zhou gradually fell in love with music. While the orchestra was playing, Zhou Zhou sat under the stage and danced with them. He is immersed in his own world. Like a conductor, he followed the music conductor in the corner.
Hu Peihou also discovered his son's interest in music. He prepared a chopstick for his son as Zhou Zhou's baton. Since then, Zhou Zhou has used this baton to release his feelings in the orchestra.
Sometimes people will boo Zhou Zhou to perform on stage, but Zhou Zhou won't get stage fright. He will be generous to go on stage with the music conductor and get applause from the audience.
The turning point of Zhou Zhou's life was 1997. By chance, Zhang Yiqing came to Wuhan Symphony Orchestra and happened to see Zhou Zhou indulging in his own conductor in the corner. He told Hu Peihou that he wanted to make a documentary about Zhou Zhou. With the consent of Hu Peihou, Zhang Yiqing set about filming.
Soon after, Zhou Zhou's World faced the world and told the true story of Zhou Zhou in Zhou Zhou's World. The fire of this documentary also brought Zhou Zhou into people's sight.
A child with congenital Down syndrome completed his own command without a professor. This is a story of great interest to the public, and Zhou Zhou really started his road of command.
According to more and more media reports, Zhou Zhou's popularity is increasing, Zhou Zhou can be found in many performances, and Zhou Zhou has also started to perform with the orchestra.
In a later activity, Zhou Zhou was discovered by the chairman of China Disabled Persons' Federation. Zhou Zhou is a good example of positive energy. This year, Zhou Zhou ushered in the first large-scale performance in his life. Zhou Zhou cooperated with the China Ballet Symphony Orchestra at the China New Year party in Beijing. Zhou Zhou was wearing a tuxedo and holding a baton. The music started, and Zhou commanded emotionally. At the end of the song, the audience applauded, and Zhou Zhou became more and more famous.
Finally return to the life of ordinary people.
More and more media reported Zhou Zhou's performance in music. Zhou Zhou is known as a "genius conductor". Hu Peihou knew that this was a high praise for Zhou Zhou. He knows that his son is only a child with a few years of intelligence. He is not a musical genius, but just a kind of love, but people only trust their judgment.
In the following six years, Zhou Zhou performed in various places, and his popularity increased greatly, becoming a household name.
Later, Zhou Zhou joined an orchestra, which was named "Zhou Zhou Symphony Orchestra". Zhou Zhou started a commercial performance. In one year, Zhou Zhou gave the most performances 168, and his salary was raised to 48,000.
With the continuous operation of the orchestra, Hu Peihou thinks that the orchestra is too pursuing commercial interests, which is not suitable for the development of Zhou Zhou. The band just wants to make money, and the number of the band changes at will because of the interests. Hu Peihou finally decided to take over the orchestra himself.
Just thinking and doing things are two different concepts and have no business experience. Although Hu Peihou took over the orchestra, he didn't know how to do it well. The lack of business sense made the orchestra only last until 20 13, and the orchestra finally closed down.
After the closure of the orchestra, Zhou Zhou went to the Beijing Voice of the Mind Disabled Art Troupe. At this time, Zhou Zhou's fame was not so great, and there was no money for an orchestra, and Zhou Zhou's performances were rare. Later, Hu Peihou took Zhou Zhou to Shenzhen and lit up the Life Disabled Art Troupe. Although there are few performances here, at least Zhou Zhou has a chance to get on the stage.
With the decline of fame, people began to re-examine Zhou Zhou, and there were many voices of doubt. Hu Peihou never admitted that Zhou Zhou was talented. When everyone crowned Zhou Zhou as a "genius conductor", Hu Peihou just said thank you for your cooperation with Zhou Zhou.
He never expected Zhou Zhou to have any talent. As a father, he only wants his son to grow up healthily and happily.
Summary:
Now their father and son live in an ordinary house, and Zhou Zhou spends five or six hours listening to music every day. Zhou Zhou is over forty years old. Because of his physical problems, he aged much faster than normal people, but Hu Peihou stayed with Zhou Zhou all the time.
Zhou Zhou's intelligence is still in his childhood, which may be a good thing for him. He doesn't know how famous he used to be, but now no one cares about him and he doesn't feel any different.
Hu Peihou is over seventy years old. He doesn't know how long he can stay with Zhou Zhou. He can only do his best to stay with Zhou Zhou in this limited time.
We all felt the ups and downs of Zhou Zhou's life. In the face of those questioning voices, I want to say, give more kindness to the world and people like Zhou Zhou. The world is unfair to them. We should use our kindness to make them full of hope and let them see that the world is worthwhile.
