"Pull up the mountain and be angry." Legend has it that Xiang Yu, the King of Chu, had the power of a thousand juns, and at the age of twenty-four, he easily lifted the dading that four strong men could not help. Legend has it that Nezha was born with divine power and pulled out a regulus arrow with a full bow.
Although "gentlemen are not different, good at faking things", but for those strange people who are born with amazing strength, we will always look up to them.
Friends who have watched WWE events will not be unfamiliar with wrestling stars such as "Big Show Brother". However, there has been a more powerful gladiatorial genius in the history of the WWE League in the United States, with a height of 2.26 meters and a weight of 238 kilograms, who has maintained an unbeaten record for 15 years during his service at WWE.
He was the "Giant Andrei", who drank 156 beers at a time and died an astonishing amount of ashes.
Such a figure, what kind of legendary life does he have?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="3" > "genius"</h1>
André was born in France in 1946 to an ordinary family — everything is ordinary, ordinary parents, not even a middle-class family income, small-town scenery everywhere, ordinary day after day.
Andrey's birth is like a pebble suddenly thrown into the calm pool of water, exploding the ripples of the circle.
He suffers from gigantism. This is a disease caused by the excessive secretion of growth hormone by the pituitary gland and the failure to close the epiphyseal during adolescence. People who are ill usually overdeveloped in childhood and adolescence, and their bones and internal organs are hypertrophied, their language and thinking abilities are chaotic, and their appearance tends to be rough.
If the adult is abnormally elevated, it is clinically called acromegaly.
American woman Angus suffered from acromegaly at the age of 21, eventually reaching 2.3 meters, and even increased before dying, at the age of 34. This illness made her lose her normal job, her loving boyfriend, and everything that ordinary people have.
Susie, a Thai gigantist man who is 2.69 meters tall, was bedridden for a long time due to a car accident and was called a "fool" by the villagers, and died at the age of 33. The biggest hope in his life was to become a normal person to help the old mother pay off his debts.
Many people with this disease have a bad life, difficulty finding a job, unable to maintain normal intimate relationships, and because the weight of the body is too large, it is easy to cause other health problems, so the life expectancy is short. So, there is no doubt that for most people, developing gigantism is a properly bad thing.
André also endured many of the inconveniences of gigantism: he was emotionally unhappy and never married officially; in order to relieve the pain of his overly stressed joints, he had to drink heavily to numb himself, a habit that made his heart fragile.
However, another effect of gigantism is the staggering arm strength and weight. Andre made good use of this "talent" and embarked on the road of professional wrestling, becoming a "genius" in the eyes of others.
At the age of 17, André was favored by the French wrestling champion Frank and learned wrestling. Before joining WWE, Andre made his mark at IWA, and later traveled to Australia and other countries, where he had some failures and was silent for a while.
In 1973, at the age of 27, Andre came to WWF (the predecessor of today's WWE, renamed in 2002 due to its name from the World Wildlife Conservation Society). WWE, whose full name is the World Wrestling Association, also known as the Professional Wrestling Union of America, is the largest wrestling company in the world.
In the nearly 15 years since entering WWE, Andre has hardly lost anything, and many viewers have come just for him. "The giant" is the absolute focus of the ring, the absolute guarantee of commercial interests.
Many people have questions about whether WWE is a "real fight". It is true that some competitions have a performance component, and the author also believes that because Andre was an unparalleled star in the wrestling world at that time, it is not excluded that there is a possibility of "fake wrestling" by opponents.
But in any case, such an amazing record is a testament to Andre's unquestionable wrestling prowess and skill.
In 1981, Andre traveled to Japan and was defeated by Killer Khan, who was in full swing at the time. Later, in the second match with Killer, the first wrestling mania, Andre showed absolute overwhelming strength and won the competition. The match was dubbed the "mongolian stretcher", alluding to the tragic situation in which killer was eventually carried away on a stretcher.
In the mid-1970s and mid-1980s, Andre was the absolute king in the ring.
In 1987, at Wrestling Mania 3, Andre was defeated by his friend Hulk Hogan, marking the end of his 15-year unbeaten record.
André's flowering period is very long, and he withers quickly, and does not give the world the opportunity to lament the "hero is old".
In 1988, after winning the Wrestling Mania 4 championship, Andre rarely appeared on stage, with his opponents changing one after another: Kaku, Heenan, and he was always the star in people's eyes. Despite his poor record at the end of his career, he was bound to be packed whenever he played.
On 27 July 1993, Andre died of sudden death due to congestive heart failure at the age of 46. Andrei then became the first WWE player to be inducted into the Hall of Fame to commemorate the "genius" forever.
The ashes weighing 17 pounds (15.4 pounds) amazed many!
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="5" > miracle</h1>
The world believes that "geniuses" are extremely gifted, and few people can see the pain they endure when they numb themselves with bottle after bottle of spirits or drugs.
It is often said that children who play well in a class are usually similar in size. In fact, whether it is size, wealth, status or talent, or even mutilation and eccentricities, almost everyone is more likely to be close to those who are close to them.
It is difficult for others to speculate about Andre's love life and psychological state, but I privately think that when I am alone, when I leave the camera and flowers, Andrei is just a lonely ordinary person who is difficult to be understood.
He may have a girl he likes, a favorite boring soap opera and variety show, or occasionally wants to talk about some nutritious gossip, but it is very realistic that except for those equally tall colleagues, everyone will be shocked and afraid of his appearance. So, he may have endured loneliness all the time.
It is because overcoming the above difficulties is in itself a miracle.
The opposite of the miracle is tragedy, like the disease of gigantism. Only those who endured endless suffering and seized the opportunity to show off their talents performed miracles, and the rest could only indulge in a sea of misery, just like other gigantists.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="7" > conclusion</h1>
Mutilation and pain are sometimes gifts from Heaven. Some people have transformed into "geniuses" in the eyes of others through their own flaws, while others have complained about themselves.
Therefore, the ordinary has its own ordinary stability and happiness, the imperfection has its own potential uniqueness and advantages, and the "genius" is not perfect, and it has its own sorrow that he needs to endure.
Everything in the universe has its own rules. But there is still a chance to turn the tables against the wind, and do not let go of any opportunity.
