Many people have heard of Peter Dinklage from his role in the popular TV drama Game of Thrones. But few know his story. Peter Dinklage is only 135 cm tall. His life shows that a small man can have a great effect(影响).
Dinklage was born with dwarfism(侏儒症). As he grew up, his legs and arms stopped growing, but his head kept becoming bigger.
At first, Dinklage's look brought himself much trouble. Other boys often made fun of him. Dinklage felt sad but he never gave up on himself. When he was in the fifth grade, he played his first role in a school play. The show was successful. That made him want to be an actor. After high school, Dinklage went to Bennington College to study acting. There his teachers and students helped him turn his look into his advantage(优势). From then on, he began to act in films and TV dramas.
Many people think of Dinklage as a spokesman for people with dwarfism, but Dinklage doesn't think so. He says, "Everyone is different. Just because I'm OK with it, I can't preach(传道)how to be OK with it."
Beijing hutongs are both the living place of the locals(当地人) and an important part of this city. Although hutongs look the same, each one has its special features(特征). Do you know some special hutongs? And do you want to visit some of them?
Dongjiaominxiang is the longest hutong in Beijing. It's 1.552km long from the east road of Tian'anmen Square to Chongwenmennei Street. The oldest locals living in Dongjiaominxiang have only lived there for about 60 years, because the hutong had been the embassy area(使馆区) of the Old China for over 700 years since the Yuan dynasty. | |
Yichidajie (or One Foot Street) is the shortest hutong in Beijing. It is only about 30m long from east to west and there are only six stores on the street. Now it is a part of Yangmeizhu Xiejie. | |
Lingjing Hutong is the widest hutong in Beijing. It is 664m long and 32.18m in its widest part. It is in the Xicheng district of Beijing, and lies between Fuyou Street on the east and Xidan North Street on the west. |
