Baby Girl Was Abandoned at Orphanage Doorstep for Her Looks – She Becomes a Famous Model Years Later

Ever since infancy, a girl was subjected to unlikely circumstances. It all began when her parents left her outside an orphanage because of her unusual appearance. Years later, she became a rising star, inspiring people with her phenomenal story.

Xueli Abbing’s life was filled with endless twists and turns that defined her future and personality. Quite interestingly, her life story began on the day she was abandoned on the ground outside an orphanage.

Many might have thought that her life would have ended at that moment, but fate had different plans for her. Despite the initial hardships and the challenges of her early years, she has journeyed into a different path in life.

Abbing said she was born in China when the government’s one-child policy was in effect, and thousands of babies were left by their birth families. Like many other infants, she said her biological parents dropped her outside an orphanage’s door and vanished without a trace.

Abbing said people with albinism face increased discrimination, with some considering it a curse.

The Chinese girl noted that she never heard from her parents or knew who they were after that incident. The orphanage took her in, and their staff members named her Xueli — “Xue” meant snow, while “Li” was defined as beautiful.

Abbing said her birth parents abandoned her because of her looks. She was born with albinism, a genetic condition that causes decreased pigment or no melanin, resulting in the eyes, hair, and skin appearing pale.

Despite a relatively rough start in life, a Dutch family adopted her when she was three. After that, she moved with her new family to the Netherlands, where her mom and sister, Yara, provided her with a loving and affectionate environment.

Abbing said she joined a modeling agency by accident at age 11 when a Hong Kong designer invited her to model for a photoshoot aimed at portraying various forms of beauty. Regarding her experience, she shared:

“[The designer] called the campaign ‘perfect imperfections’ and asked if I wanted to join her fashion show in Hong Kong. That was an amazing experience.”

Abbing said people with albinism face increased discrimination, with some considering it a curse. She told BBC:

“I’m lucky I was only abandoned.”

The young Chinese noted that models with albinism faced stereotypes and were mainly depicted as angels or ghosts in campaigns and photoshoots. “It makes me sad,” she admitted.

Fortunately, Abbing worked with a photographer in London who treated her with utmost respect and kindness. The resulting photoshoot turned out to be incredible, and according to Abbing,...
