Chapter 244 Documentary Shooting
"Hello, I'm An Chen." An Chen stepped forward to say hello.
"You, you too..." The boy's parents asked such questions when they saw An Chen's white hair and eyebrows.
"Mom, this brother looks good." The boy also poked his head out from behind.
"This is the shape I made." A staff member helped to explain.
"Is there anything we need to do?"
"You don't need to be restrained. The purpose of our shooting is to let more people know and understand albinism. You can just chat as usual." An Chen saw that the two were too nervous, and comforted him.
The boy's parents called everyone to sit down. The boy was curious and scared, and kept looking at An Chen from behind his mother.
"What's your name?" An Chen looked at the boy.
"My name is An An." The boy finally walked out from behind his mother, and sat next to An Chen.
"You can call me Brother An Chen." An Chen rubbed the boy's hair. Different from the hair color he got through dyeing, the boy's hair and eyebrows are white from the root.
An'an is also very white, almost sickly white, and even blue blood vessels can be seen.
"No one in our family has ever had this disease, so we don't know that there is a gene for albinism. I didn't expect this disease to reach An An." An An's mother also relaxed and chatted with everyone.
"Is there no cure for albinism?" An Chen asked.
At this time, An An was sitting on An Chen's lap, playing with An Chen's hair. He regarded An Chen as someone like him. He had never seen such a good-looking brother.
"Currently there is no effective treatment for albinism, and it cannot be cured. It is limited to symptomatic treatment. It is a genetic disease caused by genetic mutations that lead to abnormal melanin." Vice President Li answered An Chen's question.
"They can't go outside to play."
“Yes, people with albinism are sensitive to ultraviolet light, and may be accompanied by eye symptoms such as nystagmus, photophobia, and low vision to varying degrees.”
"Some syndromic albinism causes death due to severe complications, and albinism has been listed as one of the diseases that suffer from life-deficiency intervention." Li Sheng explained.
"Brother An Chen, you look so good-looking." An An praised An Chen again.
"You look good too." An Chen looked at An An, and there was a unique cleanliness and clarity in the children's eyes.
"But why do some people say that An An is scary and a monster?" An An blinked her big eyes, full of doubts and loneliness.
The people present also fell silent when they heard this question. Because they didn’t understand it, they only expressed their opinions based on subjective assumptions.
In the eyes of the speaker, this may be just a light sentence, and they may not even remember it, but it will cause great harm to the person being said.
This is especially true for children. They are slowly accepting and getting to know the world. They experience it slowly with the cleanest and clearest hearts, but the reception is indeed groundless abuse.
They shouldn't have to bear these, they can't choose the physical disease, which is already a tragedy they can't avoid, but sometimes, the external injury may hurt more than the disease.
"An An, does my brother's white hair look good?"
"Looks good, brother An Chen's white hair is very good-looking."
"An An's white hair is the same as my brother's. My brother thinks that An An's hair looks better. Look at the others, do they all have black hair?"
An An looked around the ward, then nodded.
"An'an, remember, this is a little gift from an angel, only lucky children can have it." This is a white lie.
An An was still ignorant, but he remembered that this was a gift, and he was a lucky kid.
Always remember, there will be reverberations.
