The lives of young children are mostly influenced by their parents. From the moment they are born, children rely on their parents to provide them with the love and security they require to ensure their happiness and health as well as optimal growth and development.
If we are compelled, for whatever reason, to grow up without our parents, both our physical and emotional health may suffer.
Chinese-born 16-year-old Xueli Abbing was abandoned by her parents. She was left at an orphanage door because she was thought to be too “weird.”
She was given the name “Xueli” by the staff of the orphanage, which had a very unique connotation associated with her beauty. Xue is as white as snow, and Li is stunning. I can’t think of a name for this adorable infant who was born with albinism.
A genetic condition known as albinism results in the skin, hair, and eyes producing less melanin, making them pale or colorless.
She was adopted by a loving Dutch family, who raised her with love and care. When she was barely 11 years old, she was asked to pose for a designer in Hong Kong for a photo shoot where he wanted to highlight the numerous types of beauty.
In an interview with the BBC, Abbing remarked, “She termed the ad ‘perfect imperfections’ and asked if I wanted to join her fashion show in Hong Kong.It was a fantastic experience.
Based on both their race and skin tone, albinos are prone to stigmatization, prejudice, and discrimination. Due to the fabled medicinal benefits of their bones, they might even be “hunted” in some severe situations.
Abbing has remarked, “I’m lucky I was only abandoned.”
When albino models are employed to portray angels or ghosts, Abbing says that “it makes her sad.”
But there was a lucky star over Abbing’s head. But she did put a lot of effort into it.
A London-based photographer took her under his wing and treated her how a model should be treated. Her appearance in the June 2019 issue of Vogue Italia was made possible by their stunning photo shoot!
