Mao Zheng from Dongguan, China is 27 years old. But if you see it, you will not tell beyond ten years. While we all try to look younger, he is someone who wants to look his age. Because the hardships he experiences due to this appearance are not small. While some consider that a blessing, for Zheng, it’s a curse. No one hires him because of his appearance.
Most people would not believe that he is that old. Many people think that he is trying to steal the job by lying. That’s why people refuse to hire him. Many people are afraid that if they get a job, they will be arrested for child labor after seeing his appearance. His father is bedridden after suffering a stroke. It is enough for Zheng to go to work to look after his father.
When I was thinking about what to do next, an unexpected turn came. He became an overnight sensation last week. This is because a video showing his condition went viral on TikTok. In the video, which was shot on the streets of Dongguan, the young man explains everything about his age and his difficulties in finding a job. It also shows him grieving that he will have to work one more job to support his father, who is recovering from a stroke.
Zheng’s story touched the hearts of millions of people in China. Many of them were highly critical of employers who did not give him a chance. But after he became famous online, many entrepreneurs offered him jobs. A few days ago he posted another video on Tiktok. It says that he received several offers, one of which he accepted. In it, he revealed that he hopes to get enough income from this to pay for his father’s treatment. If life gets better, Zheng wants to find a girl and marry him.
Although Mao Zheng’s story has been discussed by many news outlets in China, none of them have mentioned the medical reason behind the 27-year-old’s appearance. Many people online have asked if it has anything to do with the pituitary gland, which controls physical growth.
