Immortality has been the ability we humans have long wanted.
In the "Journey to the West", it is described that sun wukong, the great saint of Qitian, was invincible, and in a gathering at Huaguo Mountain,
The old monkey, who had always been his mentor and friend, died in front of it, and he realized that life expectancy was his greatest limitation.

So in order to seek eternal life, he crossed the ocean to pray to the master, and finally hooked his own death book and then ate countless peach elixirs to have the ability to live with heaven and earth.
Of course, this is the plot of the novel's story.
We modern people are also constantly studying this topic, immortality is not very realistic,
But there has been a push to extend people's lives through breakthroughs in medical conditions and genetics.
Although the results are not very obvious, the average life expectancy of our people is obviously much longer than before.
Words such as flower armor and ancient rarity that described people's longevity in ancient times now seem to be
The age of 70 in the ancient age does not seem to be so difficult to achieve.
We always encounter some strange things in our constant search for answers to longevity.
If there is one thing, a person does not live for a very long time, but time seems to completely forget him?
Time
Yes, completely forget, there is such a little girl in Hunan, from the age of 7 years old, stopped growing,
So that after the age of 18, the girl's height is still the same as when she was 7 years old.
What's going on?
Is there anything different about her body from ours? Can experts uncover the mysteries?
The little girl is clever and clever, but an accident occurred when she was 7 years old
Living in Muzitang Village, Huangni Township, Yongxing County, Hunan Province, where we want to talk about this time,
It is also the hometown of the protagonist Cao Qiaoying that we want to talk about this time, she looks like an ordinary little girl from the outside,
But those who know her well know one thing, this girl is very special,
What's special is that although she has the appearance of about 7 years old, she is 18 years old.
The story about her has to start from her previous time.
18 years ago, Cao Qiaoying was born in an ordinary small village,
Cao Qiaoying's parents felt very happy to see their daughter born, because it was their first child.
So Cao Qiaoying's parents pampered their daughters, and Cao Qiaoying behaved very smartly since she was a child.
The appearance is also very delicate, and it is deeply loved by the villagers.
Soon Cao Qiaoying's age reached the time of going to school, and Cao Qiaoying successfully entered the primary school in the village to study.
When Cao Qiaoying reached the third grade of primary school, her life changed completely.
That year, Cao Qiaoying was only 7 years old, and Cao Qiaoying's parents suddenly one day found that their girl suddenly began to gain weight.
At first, I didn't care much, but my own girl gained a lot of weight in a short period of time.
Cao Qiaoying's parents felt very strange after they found out, but the people in the village said that it was okay.
Children at this age do not know how to eat more and eat less, usually eat without control eating more and gain weight normally,
Cao Qiaoying's parents think about it too, and usually start to look at the amount of food their daughter eats.
But then I found that it didn't work, and as my daughter continued to gain weight,
Slowly Cao Qiaoying's mobility was problematic, and from his bedroom to the courtyard, he had begun to gasp for breath.
And the child became more and more lazy, and the mood became very low and could not be interested in anything,
Usually lying in bed for a day and even sitting up is not willing to sit up, every day is sleeping and sometimes sleeping for several days without eating,
The body also began to have problems, either uncomfortable here or uncomfortable somewhere.
Asking for medical treatment everywhere, I had no choice but to ask for help from reporters
This made Cao Qiaoying's parents worry, and the problems with their children's bodies made them very anxious.
Immediately for Cao Qiaoying to take a leave of absence and rush to treatment, helpless is that his family conditions are not very good to go to the big hospital in the city,
So Cao Qiaoying's parents began to inquire about home remedies for their children.
No matter who has heard that the family has the same symptoms as their own children, they eat well by taking medicine,
Immediately visit the door to ask what medicine to take, and then find a pharmacy to prescribe a try,
After several years of seeking medical treatment and medicine, Cao Qiaoying also tossed and turned intermittently for several years without any intention of getting better, but instead something happened.
Cao Qiaoying's body began to grow and develop from the time when she was 7 years old, and it stopped growing and developing.
Not only did it not grow tall at all, but the skin began to gradually become loose, and even its gaze began to become a little sluggish.
After a few years like this, 12 and 3-year-old Cao Qiaoying has looked like a 7- or 80-year-old man.
Watching his daughter grow older and older, this can make Cao Qiaoying's parents anxious,
They think it's because there's something wrong with the genes in the family.
But thinking about it, there has never been such a situation in the family on both sides, there is no way,
After tossing and turning for so long, I really couldn't do anything about it, and I could only ask the media for help.
After the local reporter learned of the encounter of Cao Qiaoying's family, he immediately rushed to their home for an interview.
When asking the surrounding villagers, the neighbors felt very sorry for what happened to Cao Qiaoying and talked about it.
In the very beginning, Cao Qiaoying's parents took care of their children's emotions,
When taking Cao Qiaoying out to see a doctor, he covered her head with a towel.
Cao Qiaoying also knows that she is different from other children, and she will not go out on weekdays.
The scope of activities is limited to the bedroom and living room of their own home, which is 10 years of time.
Because they had not seen Cao Qiaoying for too long, the villagers felt that there were some abnormalities.
So he went to Cao Qiaoying's house to visit, and after learning about these situations, the villagers said everything.
Some said that Cao Qiaoying was provoked by unclean things, some said that she was a monster, and some said that Cao Qiaoying's disease would be contagious.
Do not let their children play with her, but also advise Cao Qiaoying's parents to try to separate the bowl when eating or sleeping with the child.
Although it is their own child, Cao Qiaoying's parents can't stand the villagers for a long time,
So when he ate and slept, he isolated his daughter, although he was very distressed but there was no way.
The reporter inquired in many ways but did not find an answer, and could only report the matter
Reporter Wang Qiaonong was also surprised after seeing Cao Qiaoying, fortunately, he had some friends in the big hospital.
So he took a photo of Cao Qiaoying and helped Cao Qiaoying's family ask the doctor.
See if your connections can help their family.
After the doctor friends of reporter Wang Qiaonong saw Cao Qiaoying's photo, they had a lot of conjectures.
But the two diseases mentioned most often in many accounts are rickets and dwarfism,
But then when he took Cao Qiaoying to the hospital for examination, he found that it was not very suitable for these two diseases.
Rickets is indeed not high, the reason is caused by calcium deficiency,
However, after the examination, it was found that there was no calcium deficiency in Cao Qiaoying's body, and the proportion of the body was not quite right if he was dwarf.
Because the external symptoms of dwarfism are generally big heads and legs, but the overall proportion of Cao Qiaoying is very coordinated,
There was also no case of looping the legs, which made the doctors start to get upset.
Reporter Wang Qiaonong suddenly remembered two reports about Progeria that he had seen before.
Began to wonder if Cao Qiaoying would get this rare disease in the world, because the prevalence rate was only 1 in 80,000.
Because Progeria will have symptoms of rapid aging, Progeria patients are about 10 times faster than normal people, which also looks in line with the symptoms.

Reporter Wang Qiaonong rushed to the hospital for examination, but the test result was not.
Although some disappointment also made them put their minds at ease, because Progeria patients age about 10 times faster than normal people,
At most, the number of cases of progeria patients recorded worldwide has only lived to the age of 16.
None of these symptoms can match Cao Qiaoying's.
All kinds of situations are not right, which makes the well-informed reporter Wang Qiaonong have no way.
Helplessly, he could only obtain the consent of Cao Qiaoying's parents and make a news program for the little girl.
I want to let more people pay attention to Cao Qiaoying through media dissemination to see if there is any solution.
The answer was revealed, and the mystery of the suspension of growth was finally revealed
With the broadcast of the news, Cao Qiaoying's situation was seen by the person in charge of the Third Hospital of Chenzhou City.
In the face of such a little girl, they immediately took the little girl to the hospital for the little girl's consultation and examination.
After doing some preliminary examinations, it was found that Cao Qiaoying's physical condition of this little girl was very poor.
The main thing is that the thyroid gland is low, and there is also severe anemia,
With the follow-up test results out, the results are almost the same as initial expectations,
In fact, when Cao Qiaoying was 7 years old, he was inexplicably fat, which was already caused by low thyroid function.
However, at that time, there was no timely treatment and missed the best time for treatment, and after finding the problem, the doctor immediately treated Cao Qiaoying.
After a period of treatment, Cao Qiaoying stopped growing his body for 10 years.
It began to develop again, which made the face of Cao Qiaoying's family show a long-lost smile.
And the good news kept coming, with the effect of the treatment, Cao Qiaoying had the idea of wanting to return to school to study,
Although he is 18 years old, after the reporter communicated with the principal of the local primary school,
The principal said that although Cao Qiaoying had missed the best time to receive education, if she still had the idea of learning,
Their school still welcomes her admission.
The secret of Cao Qiaoying's cessation of growth was finally revealed.
I wish her a speedy return to normal life!
