Girl abandoned by parents for her looks wants to prove the world wrong – now she models for Vogue

Having your parents around your childhood gives you a feeling of safety.

If you are forced to grow up without parental presence or knowing your parents abandoned you, there is a chance you might grow up feeling some sort of resentment towards your parents.

Xueli Abbing is a 16-year-old born in China who was abandoned at birth by her parents. She was left at the door of an orphanage and the identity of her parents was not known in the slightest.

She was named by the staff at the orphanage, the ‘Xue’ in her name means snow while ‘Li’ means beautiful. She was named this because she was born with albinism.
