A disabled child in Wuhan, Hubei ProvinceBecause of the documentary "The World of Zhouzhou", it became popular all over the country overnight.
He was once called a "genius conductor" by major ** - Zhou Zhou, whose IQ was only 3 years old.
Later, Zhou Zhou not only co-conducted with the ** Ballet Theater Symphony OrchestraIn 2000, he walked into the Great Hall of the People hand in hand with Schwarzenegger and conducted the China Opera House Symphony Orchestra.
In those years, Zhouzhou was not only a smash hitHe also became an important member of the Art Troupe of the China Disabled Persons' Federation.
However, when the prosperity faded, netizens also began to question whether Zhou Zhou was really a "genius conductor".After the lie was exposed, he gradually faded out of the public eye over time.
Nowadays,Zhouzhou, who has enjoyed everyone's praise, is 45 years old, how is his life now?
After the documentary was broadcast, Zhouzhou was praised by everyone overnighteven praised him as a "genius conductor", relying on this aura, he quickly became popular at that time.
However, Zhou Zhou is not a real commanding genius, but a handicapped child with low intelligenceThe whole world is kindly weaving a huge dream for him, but the dream will wake up one day.
Those years were the best time in Zhouzhou's life, and with the passage of time, Zhouzhou no longer had the fame of the pastNot only was he snubbed in the orchestra, but in 2006, even his mother left him due to illness.
The business situation of the symphony orchestra where Zhou Zhou is located is getting worseAs his fame declined, it was difficult for him to get another chance to come to power.
Zhouzhou's father, Hu Houpei, couldn't bear to watch his son sit on the cold bench in the orchestraSo he decided to organize an orchestra for his son himself, hoping that Zhou Zhou could continue to perform on stage.
However, organizing the orchestra was not as simple as Hu Houpei thought, when he first took overJust in time for the snow storm and the approaching Olympics, it is difficult to apply for performances with more than 500 people.
These problems led to the orchestra organized by Hu Houpei for Zhouzhou, which did not go well at the beginningEven though, after several years of struggle, the Zhouzhou Symphony Orchestra was officially closed due to poor management.
Later, the lonely and famous Zhouzhou could not receive a few commercial performancesHis father, Hu Houpei, also felt that he was aging.
He began to worry that after he left, Zhouzhou would not be able to support himselfSo he handed over his monthly pension and house to his daughter and son-in-law, hoping that they would be able to take care of Zhouzhou's old age in the future.
However, because of years of neglect of her daughter, her daughter did not grow up for longHe was already married and had children, and left the family early, rarely contacting them.
Later, Hu Houpei also regretted it;"When my daughter was in college, we were busy with boating and didn't have time to care about her, so in the end she only went to high school and couldn't get into college, and I always felt very sorry for her. ”Although,My sister used to dislike her brother because of the neglect of the family,,,The blood relationship still makes her okay with this brother, but she is extremely strict when she disciplines him, like disciplining a child who is not sensible.
Although Zhouzhou has a low IQ, he feels very uncomfortable in his heart under his sister's strict disciplineSo, Hu Houde saw his son's increasingly silent personality and decided to take him to continue to perform in the orchestra.
However, there is no longer a famous boat,Not only is the treatment of the orchestra very different from before, but they even have to dance on stage to please the audience.
In 2016, Zhouzhou was suddenly diagnosed with lung cancer in the hospitalWhen Hu Houpei learned that his son was suffering from cancer, he felt extremely heartbroken and couldn't accept this fact at all.
He thought that he was going to usher in the human tragedy of the white-haired man sending the black-haired manSuddenly, a miracle reappeared, and Zhouzhou had gone through a year.
Today, Zhouzhou is 45 years old, and Hu Houpei can make a living for his son in the futureHe was sent to a disabled literary and artistic group, where he could receive a salary of 600 yuan per month.
Although, Zhou Zhou can no longer stand on the stage to conduct the orchestra, and can only raise some chickens and ducks in the disabled orchestraHowever, his father was already very relieved about Zhouzhou's stable life at this time.
Looking at the now down-and-out boats,Netizens also thought of the time when they saw this child standing on the stage in the documentary.
All the changes in Zhouzhou's life came from the broadcast of a documentaryIn 1997, a director in Hubei Province filmed a documentary on the theme of "The World of Boats".
After it was released in 1998, it instantly caused a sensation in ChinaAt that time, viewers who watched the documentary knew that a child named "Zhou Zhou" became the conductor of the band.
It turned out that the documentary recorded in detail this Down syndrome patient with an IQ of only three yearsThe process of Zhou Zhou's first half of his life and growing up standing on the stage to direct the orchestra's performance.
Back then, as soon as the child was born, Hu Houde was full of expectations for his son's future and named him Hu YizhouIt's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and after the full moon, it was suddenly found out to be Tang's child.
Patients with Down syndrome have mental retardation, equivalent to a three- or four-year-old child, after learning of this resultZhouzhou's mother was heartbroken, while his father, Hu Houpei, was determined to spend his life taking care of his children growing up.
Later, the couple could have someone to take care of their intellectually disabled son in the futuregave birth to a healthy sister for Zhouzhou.
Due to mental retardation, Zhouzhou is unable to go to school like a normal childZhouzhou's father decided to teach him all kinds of common sense in life himself, and he took the trouble to teach Zhouzhou some survival skills.
Because his father Hu Houpei played double bass in the Wuhan Symphony OrchestraTherefore, Zhou Zhou can often go to the orchestra with his father to perform.
At this time, to Hu Houpei's surprise, Zhouzhou began to show great interest in ** when he grew upHe also often imitates the movements of the conductor backstage, as if performing with an orchestra on stage.
So, Hu Houde felt that his son was very talented in ** at first, but when he saw Zhou Zhou practicing with others,He realized that his son just had a strong ability to imitate.
Because the elders in the orchestra have all grown up watching Zhouzhou since childhoodIn order to let Zhou Zhou experience the feeling of the stage, he often performs with his conductor offstage.
Later, during one of Zhouzhou's conducting performances, he was favored by a documentary director who went to the orchestra to find inspirationThat's why he was dubbed a "genius conductor".
After the release of this documentary, Zhouzhou's previous life was completely changed, not only walking into the people's hall hand in hand with Schwarzenegger during the dayIn the evening, he also sang "You Are My Hope" with Andy Lau on the same stage.
Later, Zhouzhou's performance schedule was very busy, and the cost of a performance was as high as tens of thousands of yuanAs Zhouzhou's reputation grows, some people wonder if Zhouzhou really has the best talent?
Zhouzhou's father said frankly in the face of everyone's doubts about Zhouzhou;"Zhou Zhou is not a ** person in the real sense of the word, he doesn't even understand the most basic music theory, and he doesn't have the background to be a professional conductor at all. ”This father, who has dedicated most of his life to his disabled sonWhen talking about Zhouzhou's past, he is always full of gratitude to everyone.
He thinks that if there was no goodwill from everyone,Zhouzhou may not be able to stand on the stage for the rest of his life, enjoying everyone's applause and praise.
Now, his father, Hu Houpei, who is over 80 years old, still accompanies his childrenTake care of Zhouzhou's daily life.
Although, Zhouzhou has now retreated from the "halo of genius" he once hadBut his life experience still gives many children who are also sick a positive hope.
After learning about Zhouzhou's life,I hope that one day in the future, the society can arrange a stable future for the children of this special group like Zhouzhou, teach them some basic life skills, so that they will not be lonely and helpless in their old age.
