Chinese Summary/中文概要：

英國少女海莉•奧金斯僅有14歲（2012年），卻因患有早衰症，容貌看起來像年逾古稀的老婦。醫生曾斷言她活不過13歲，然而樂觀的海莉近日不僅迎來了她的14歲生日，還出版了自傳《未年輕便老去》。

沒有一個13歲女生能像Hayley Okines（海莉•奧金斯）那樣擁有這樣一個不同的人生。她出生時便診斷出患有一種罕見的兒童基因病變。她年齡衰老速度比平常人要快8倍。從醫學術語來解釋她的身體狀況，就像是一位百歲的女士。然而，她以無比的勇氣和沁人心扉的自愛面對著自已身體的條件情況。在《In Old Before My Time》自傳中，海莉和她的母親Kerry（克裡）回顧了那些不同尋常的生活。當海莉環遊世界時，遇見她的那些流行偶像們Kylie, Girls Aloud和Justin Bieber。她在11歲時，痛失了一位與自己同患此病的最好朋友而倍感傷心。如今她渡過了自己13歲—— 對於一位患有早衰症的兒童來說那正是平均壽命 —— 海莉坦誠地說自己希望未來在美國的首創實驗性藥方，能為每個人破解老齡化的秘密。(Sandy)
