  1. I want to be direct and say that being there with you was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and translating for people in the park had a profound impact on me. As someone diagnosed with dwarfism as a child, my body wasn’t producing growth hormones. Fortunately, thanks to free healthcare in Europe, I was able to receive early treatment, and it made all the difference. I shared this story with Little Ai during a live stream (you can see it in the video), and she was both surprised and saddened. She mentioned that her dwarfism was also treatable, but in China, the treatment wasn’t free when she was growing up. I realize how lucky I was. I truly believe I made some real friends among the little people at the park; they were simply amazing. I’m so glad you chose this place for an episode, and that I had the chance to translate for you. Also, major credit to your research. I've lived in China for over 15 years, including two years in this exact area—Yunnan province—but until working with you, I had never heard of this place. The same is true for many others in China. I hope your video shines a positive light on this park and helps more people with disabilities find a safe place.

  10. OMG. facepalm a place they can live where things are scaled down for their convenience, yes, but…..disney? NO! No, no. Not just to exploit them. Not just to show them off for visitors. Not "the dwarf show" The kids in the crowd are adorable, though….I agree with the "uncle" and "auntie" we don't use those terms, but I like them. A friendly, familial term. Oh no. facepalm The show. See I know people affected with dwarfism. they are as different as anyone else…..save for height. If that is the only job they can find, that is a shame. I'm sure some thrive (natural performers) but there feel…used. Dignity? That job allows for none. At very least, they don't have to act like "oompa loompas". There ARE musical instruments scaled down for smaller hands. She should have an instrument. Guitars and violins for example, are made in 3 or more different sizes. Such a nice lady!

  16. The best part about this video were the little graceful moments. Being surrounded by children, taking photos with them, translating for them, talking with these people and also capturing how they live. I would say that the sweet little woman is the luckiest out there to have someone to share her life with. And couldn't stop myself from pausing a little and smiling when u said 'This show is giving me goosebumps. ***k i am old now'…Wow… When did adulting happen and why is time running?! You are doing a good job as usual Peter. Even i am overwhelmed at this point.
