"Hairy Child" Yu Zhenhuan: 46 years ago, he was a sensation because of his black hair, how is he now? (1)

In 1977, Yu Zhenhuan was born in a rural area in Liaoning, and his innate heavy black hair made him the focus of media attention.

Over the years, Yu Zhenhuan has been accompanied by the camera, how is he doing now?

In 1984, 7-year-old Yu Zhenhuan participated in the movie "Little Hairy Boy Raiders the Lost Ark" tailored for him, and quickly became a popular child star.

However, after years of silence, he slowly faded out of the audience's field of vision.

After that, Yu Zhenhuan returned to the life of an ordinary child, during this time, he was cared for by his family on the one hand, but on the other hand, he endured the strange eyes of the outside world.

"Don't come out and be scary when you look like this!"

"You're actually a monkey!"

"It's ugly, stay away!"

Yu Zhenhuan had heard such words too many times, which made him suffer a lot, and his temperament became more and more sensitive and inferior.

And it was also during this period that Hong Kong and Taiwan stars set off a craze in the mainland, and Yu Zhenhuan listened to the singing of the "Four Heavenly Kings" in the videotape, and he also had the dream of becoming a star.

Because of his background as a "child star", Yu Zhenhuan and his family also have certain showbiz resources, so accompanied by his father, he came to Beijing again at the age of 17.

Yu Zhenhuan saw the "old friend" with a vague image in his memory, and told the other party about his star dream, but the other party said to him: "You are very inferior now, and you are not suitable for entering the showbiz." ”

Thus, his first brave attempt ended in failure.

In the following years, Yu Zhenhuan made a living by singing at night clubs, and the dream of "star" seemed to be more and more out of reach, but in 2004, things took a turn for the better.

Yu Zhenhuan's black hair not only made him suffer from the eyes of the world, but also made him get much more attention than ordinary people, and this is obviously very beneficial for an artist who makes money by performing.

In 2004, he performed at a night show in Beijing, but his singing voice and image attracted the attention of an investor in the audience, who expressed his willingness to invest 10 million to build him and set up a top team to promote his debut.

This rejuvenated Yu Zhenhuan's long-dormant dream of stardom.

However, as fate would have it, after the other party made a promise and invited him to an anniversary celebration, there was no follow-up.

The bubble of dreams burst again.

After a period of time, other entertainment companies also threw olive branches to him, and he himself tried to set up an artist studio, trying his best to realize his dream, but for various reasons, it ended in failure.

But fortunately, although he did not get attention as a "star", as a "hairy child" who once shocked the society, Yu Zhenhuan was re-exposed by the media in those two years.

Anyway, he's on fire again!

Yu Zhenhuan focused on opportunities, released his first music album, started his national tour, and frequently participated in various TV shows or theatrical evenings.

He finally realized his "dream of stardom".

Later, Yu Zhenhuan became a real singer and was active in the entertainment industry, but when he looked back, sometimes he didn't know whether to cry or laugh......

In the seventies of the last century, Yu Zhenhuan was born in a thatched house in a rural area in Liaoning.

"Oh, why does this kid have such long black hair!" cried the midwife in surprise.

As soon as it spread ten, ten spread hundreds, the news that Yu's family gave birth to a "monkey" spread to ten miles and eight towns, and later, even experts and media from all sides heard about it and rushed to observe.

According to the research of the expert team of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Yu Zhenhuan's black hair is an "atavistic phenomenon" caused by genetic mutations, and it will not have any obvious impact on his body and intelligence.

The expert's statement made Yu Zhenhuan's parents breathe a sigh of relief, but in the eyes of many people in the outside world, Yu Zhenhuan is a "freak".

At that time, the popularization of science had not yet penetrated into every corner of the motherland, and many backward areas still believed in the feudal ideology of "demons and monsters".

"I'm also a mortal in the flesh, I'm just more hairy than everyone else, I'm not a 'monster'." Later, on a certain program, Yu Zhenhuan, who had experienced the world, preached aggrievedly.

The white eyes and ridicule of others made Yu Zhenhuan fall into inferiority complex and depression for a while, with a "star dream", he naturally longed for the attention of the camera, but the sharp laughter made him often afraid of the camera.

And what made him slowly come out of low self-esteem and depression was the love of his family and friends.

And sincere love.

In media reports, Yu Zhenhuan had five relationships, but the first four had a beginning and an end for various reasons, but just when the public thought that his fifth love was about to fail, he announced that he was married.

"I will be like King Kong, give everything for my lover. ”

Yu Zhenhuan didn't tell the outside world too much information about his wife, he only promised that he would be sincere and dedicated to love.
