4-year-old Zhang Ya (left) walked the 200-meter tightrope with her bare hands (data photo).

By the side of her family, Xiao Xiaoya has recovered her innocence.

　　At the age of 2 years and 10 months, a contract changed her fate: she stayed away from her relatives and walked a tightrope with the acrobatic troupe;

　　At the age of 4, she walked a tightrope with bare hands at high altitude and won the highest award in the international acrobatic world, the Golden Lion Award.

　　At the age of 8, when her apprenticeship contract expired, her family took her home to go to school, but she was rejected by the Art Troupe … Last month, she was "rescued" and returned to her hometown in Yongchuan.

　　Her name is Zhang Ya, and she is known as the "tightrope prodigy".

　　On the 10th of this month, the reporter came to Zhang Ya’s home in Dazhuxi Village, Shuangzhu Town, Yongchuan District. In the courtyard dam, she is sensibly peeling peanuts for grandpa. Seeing the reporter, she hid behind her grandfather warily and timidly spoke Mandarin and asked, "Who is he?"

　　"Now, she’s afraid of strangers, and she’s all learning.

　　"The old man sighed.

　　Father posted a post to find a woman

　　Zhang Xiangui is Zhang Ya’s father. He used to support his family by laying bricks on the construction site. In mid-October last year, he did something that had nothing to do with bricklaying: posting on the Internet to find his daughter with the title "Wire prodigy suspected of being trafficked"-

　　"Zhang Ya, stage name Tu Yuncai, born in 2000, is from Shuangzhu Town, Yongchuan District, Chongqing. In March, 2003, his father signed a contract with Jiangxi Xiaofeitian Prodigy Art Troupe (also known as Jiangxi Xiaofeitian Acrobatic Troupe-Reporter’s Note) to send Zhang Ya to the troupe to study … After training, Zhang Ya quickly became the main member, not only touring with the troupe in China, but also performing abroad. CCTV once reported on its special topic. "

　　"After the expiration of the contract, because Zhang Ya has reached the age of compulsory education, her father asked the art troupe to send her children home to study in accordance with the contract and was rejected. Now, the whole family is immersed in pain because they don’t know the whereabouts of their children … "

　　Left home to study at the age of two.

　　Zhang Xiangui said that when her daughter joined the acrobatic troupe, she was only 2 years and 10 months old. Children of this age are the darling of having fun around their loved ones. Why do they want Zhang Ya to leave home to study?

　　"I have been a soldier and my son has been a soldier, but they all do farm work after retiring." Grandpa Zhang Ya said that it was a "family dream" to send her granddaughter to learn acrobatics in order to change the situation of farming in the Zhang family for generations.

　　Zhang Xiangui said that sending her daughter to learn acrobatics is also related to these things: when Zhang Ya was over one year old, she was occasionally helped by her father to play on the stone fence beside the courtyard dam, and she could walk with a swing. "I thought at that time that if she could worship a master, she might be able to walk on the balance beam. When she was over two years old, I was working in Chongqing Wildlife World, and I saw Jiangxi Xiaofeitian Acrobatic Troupe performing "high-altitude tightrope walking" and "motorcycle stunt". The actors were all four or five-year-old girls. I think they can, and so should my daughter. " So he found Tu Shizhang, the head of the art troupe, and wanted to send his daughter to learn art.

　　Zhang Xiangui’s father supported his son’s idea. A few days later, the two sides signed a contract. According to the contract, from March 3, 2003 to March 3, 2008, Zhang Ya was an artist in the Art Troupe, and her salary in the first year was 1,200 yuan, and her salary in the next four years was doubled every year on the basis of the first year. When the contract expires, the art troupe will send Zhang Ya home to study.

　　"At the beginning, I thought that the wildlife world was close to home and I could go to see her at any time. Unexpectedly, a month later, the art troupe disappeared. " Zhang Ya’s mother-in-law said.

　　It is difficult to return when the contract expires.

　　In March last year, after the expiration of the contract, Zhang Xiangui began to contact Tu Shizhen to return his daughter, but failed. In August, due to the approaching of school, Zhang Xiangui went to Jiangxi and other places to look for his daughter, ready to take her home to school, but failed to find her. At the beginning of October, Tu Shizhen had not sent Zhang Ya back as agreed. Zhang Xiangui, who couldn’t think of a way, turned to Ling Zexia, a legal worker of Shuangzhu Law Service Office, hoping to let her daughter go home through legal channels.

　　Ling Zexia said that after Zhang signed a contract with the Acrobatic Troupe, it was Zhu Zemei, the teacher of the Acrobatic Troupe, who took Zhang Ya away. They came to Zhu’s hometown, Bengbu City, Anhui Province. Zhu did not know where to go, and Zhang Ya was not seen. Then, they rushed to Tushan Village, Youlan Town, Tu Shizhang’s hometown in Nanchang County, Nanchang City, Jiangxi Province. Zhang Ya was also not found, and Tu Shizhang was not at home.

　　After many twists and turns, Anhui police urged Zhu Zemei to contact Tu Shizhang, who promised to send the child to Zhang Xiangui by the end of October 2008 on the grounds that the performance contract signed with the tourist attractions had not expired. However, by the agreed time limit for giving children, Zhang Jia could not get in touch with Tu again.

　　Ling Zexia said that later, the police of Youlan Police Station in Nanchang County accompanied them to the village where Tu Shizhang lived. There, Zhang Xiangui learned about the hardships of her daughter’s study.

　　"The director of the village committee told the police that Tu Shizhen is an old man in his 70s. He has received many girls from all over the country to practice tightrope walking as apprentices, and they all changed their surnames according to the Jianghu rules. Among these girls, a little girl with a Chongqing accent (Zhang Ya) is very poor. She cooks and washes clothes by herself and is often beaten in training-all girls live and study in such an environment. They were asked not to talk to the locals, and they would be beaten once they were found. " Ling Zexia said.

　　The police of Youlan police station confirmed that they had been to the village where Tu Shizhang lived and learned that the process of learning art by young actors was "sympathetic".

　　Go home after many twists and turns.

　　Until the beginning of December last year, Tu Shizhen, who saw the post, finally contacted Zhang Xiangui. Tu said on the phone that only Zhang Xiangui could take the train to Nanchang, and the two sides agreed to meet on December 5. Zhang Xiangui arrived ahead of time with Ling Zexia and asked the Nanchang Railway Station Railway Police Station for help.

　　Unexpectedly, the person who came to meet according to the agreement and claimed to bring Zhang Ya was not Tu Shizhang. This person saw that Zhang Xiangui brought Ling Zexia, and turned to escape from the police. When Ling Zexia saw this, she used her quick wits to pretend that she was a bitch and grabbed each other. The police showed up and took both sides into the police station. That night, after a sudden trial by the police, Zhang Ya was sent to the police station, but Tu Shizhen still did not show up. A policeman from Nanchang Railway Station Police Station confirmed the process of rescuing Zhang Ya. He said that without Ling Zexia’s wit, the rescue might be a big struggle.

　　I still have nightmares

　　"In the first few days, she always woke up in the middle of the night and said that she had nightmares and was beaten by the master with a stick, forcing her to walk a tightrope." Zhang Ya’s grandfather said that her granddaughter had no mother, and after being rescued, she slept with him as she did when she was not studying art.

　　"When she was a child, she used to wake up and touch my beard. When she came back, she reached out and touched my face every time she woke up in the middle of the night and asked me,’ Grandpa, am I really home?’ "The old man talked about this and sighed with tears that his granddaughter was poor.

　　Now, Zhang Ya is basically used to living at home. She shows her strong attachment to home in cooking for her mother-in-law.

　　"I want to go to college and be a graduate student." Asked about her future plans, she replied like this.

　　During the interview, Wen Xingde, chairman of Shuangzhu Town People’s Congress, came to understand the current situation of Zhang Ya on behalf of the town party committee and government. Wen Xingde said that they plan to contact a school that will enable Zhang Ya to continue to improve her tightrope walking skills and study, so that she can become a child with special skills and happiness-because until now, Zhang Ya has never studied for a day.

　　Legend of "steel wire prodigy"

　　Became a star at the age of four.

　　How did Zhang Ya become a "tightrope prodigy"? Faced with the reporter’s doubts, she was very wary and either answered irrelevant questions or was silent. However, videos and articles saved on the Internet recorded her becoming a "child prodigy".

　　It is understood that the first step in learning to walk a tightrope is to stand on a brick with one foot and gradually increase the height and difficulty. After this step-by-step training, Zhang Ya quickly mastered the skill of walking a tightrope at low altitude. After guidance, she learned to perform such difficult movements as "Golden Rooster Independence", "Rotation" and "Recumbent" on the tightrope. Usually, tightrope walkers have to keep things in their hands, but Zhang Ya can walk tightrope empty-handed for about a year, and suddenly lie on the tightrope and "sleep" and "get up".

　　A video recorded this content: On the outskirts of Nanchang City, Jiangxi Province, an iron frame about 7 stories high attracted a flood of viewers. When Zhang Ya’s young figure appeared on the wire rope 20 meters off the ground, everyone looked up and held their breath. At that time, Zhang Ya was 4 years old and walked a tightrope at such a height for the first time.

　　As soon as she took the first step, her body shook from side to side. When her body is slightly balanced, she lies on the wire rope and "sleeps". A heart-wrenching scene happened: she tried to "get up" from the wire rope three times and failed. Then, she "slept" for about 3 minutes, and finally got up for the fourth time.

　　In the same year, CCTV’s "Approaching Science" column reported that Zhang Ya, a 4-year-old "tightrope prodigy", achieved high-altitude free-hand high-wire skills, and won the "Golden Lion Award", the highest prize in the international acrobatic field, in the 10th China Wuqiao International Acrobatic Art Competition.

　　Flying around the world is another stunt of Zhang Ya. China News Agency described the stunt like this: "The reporter saw at the scene that Tu Yunyun, a 4-year-old actor from Jiangxi Xiaofeitian Acrobatic Troupe, skillfully drove a Jialing motorcycle and performed the stunt of flying around the world in a big iron ball with a diameter of 5.8 meters. The height of the little actress is not as high as the height of the motorcycle body, and the angle at which she drives the motorcycle around the four walls of the iron ball is almost parallel to the ground, and the speed is up to 60 kilometers per hour. "

　　Master beat her up.

　　A 4-year-old girl has become a celebrity in acrobatics, and packaging is necessary. How to pack it? Ling Zexia said that when Zhang Ya won the "Golden Lion Award", the Acrobatic Troupe set up a reward in the arena. Anyone who can walk the tightrope with his bare hands and complete the thrilling actions such as dressing and sleeping on the tightrope, and walk faster than Zhang Ya or the action is more difficult, can win 100,000 yuan on the spot. Now, the prize money has risen to 1 million yuan, and no one has taken it.

　　"Is this you?" In order to prove her statement, Ling Zexia took out the publicity materials of Jiangxi Xiaofeitian Acrobatic Troupe obtained in the investigation and pointed to one of the little girls who walked a tightrope and asked Zhang Ya.

　　"yes." Zhang Ya nodded from time to time.

　　The content broadcast by CCTV’s Social Records confirmed that the acrobatic troupe offered a reward with Zhang Ya.

　　As of press time, reporters were unable to get in touch with Tu Shizhen.

　　However, in the program about Zhang Ya’s childhood life in Social Records, there is such a commentary, "Xiaoyun is from Chongqing … She has to get up at five o’clock every day for various trainings …" At the same time, the reporter of Social Records interviewed Tu Shizhang and had such a dialogue with him-

　　Reporter: I heard that you also let the children challenge Adili?

　　Tu Shizhang: Yes.

　　Reporter: Why?

　　Tu Shizhang: … My purpose is to be famous. I have seen money, and now I want to be famous.
