Many people will be bothered by their height, and most people will feel that they are not tall enough.
Just over a hundred years ago in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, there was such a little boy who longed to grow tall. He was different from us, he was short at first, but then he began to grow so much that it bothered his life.
What kind of story is this, let's take a look.
Adam Raynal: A "Wish Come True Child"
The protagonist of the story is Adam Raynard of austria-Hungary, who was born in 1899, the eldest son of the family, his family is not rich, but his parents still gave him a lot of love, so that he had a happy childhood.
After going to elementary school, he saw that his friends and classmates around him were growing taller and taller, but Adam Raynal's height did not move at all, and he was a little depressed.
Adam Raynal's parents were also, they thought that their son's nutrition was not enough, so they bought a lot of nutritional products for him to eat, but there has been no effect.
As time went by, Adam Raynal's classmates grew much taller. Compared with the children of the same grade next to him, he was like a child in the lower grades, and he seemed out of place with them.
Parents decide to take their child to the hospital for a check-up to see what is wrong with their body. After a thorough examination, the doctor concluded that Adam Raynal's growth hormone had stopped secreting and that he had developed dwarfism, which caused his height to remain at his current level forever, which was 1.22 meters.
If that's the end of the story, Adam Raynal is just an ordinary dwarf, but then things take a turn for the better.
Little dwarfs grow into big giants
After accepting the fact that he could no longer grow tall, Adam Raynal began to become lonely and inferior, and his classmates around him also threw mocking glances at him, which he could not accept, and once he was able to play happily with them. Today, everyone is excluding him because of his height.
Every year after that, for his birthday, Adam Raynal would make the same wish - to grow taller. But it never happened.
After the outbreak of World War I, Adam Raynard's Austro-Hungarian Empire was one of the main battlefields.
Soon, Adam Raynal was also eighteen years old, old enough to join the army, so he decided to join the army and fight for his country.
Adam Raynal was disappointed because there was a height restriction on joining the army. Her height is only 1.22 meters, and the height standard for Austro-Hungarian boys to enlist is 1.75 meters, which is a huge gap with his height.
But Adam Raynal did not give up, but continued to exercise his body, determined to apply for enlistment next year.
At that time, Adam Raynal's height looked no different from that of a six- or seven-year-old child, and it was ridiculous to send a child to the front line to fight.
The following year, Adam Raynal enlisted again, but was rejected because of his height.
This time Adam Raynal didn't feel bad anymore because he found that his height measurement this year was actually five centimeters higher than last year's!
What does this mean, is it possible for you to grow taller? Adam Raynal said this to himself in his heart.
For a person with dwarfism, you won't grow taller in this lifetime, but you seem to be different.
Adam Raynal's conjecture was not wrong, and his height continued to grow. By the time he was twenty years old, he had reached a height of one meter eight! This is the height that many boys dream of, and it was actually broken by Adam Raynal, a dwarf!
No, Adam Raynal, who has regained his height, is no longer a dwarf, but a handsome guy with a spirit. This is simply a miracle, and even doctors who study dwarfism cannot explain this phenomenon.
What is unexpected is that such a good thing that can be called "a miracle in the history of world medicine" will eventually become the murderer of Adam Rebbe!
What had been a dream had now become a reality that plagued him
Is Adam Raynal satisfied? Yes, but his height did not stop growing, but became uncontrollable, and soon he grew to a height of one meter nine, which caused Great trouble to Adam Raynal.
The rapid growth brought about by his height made him start to be uncomfortable with his life, which was not just a matter of buying clothes and shoes to buy bigger.
His bones began to have problems, and then his spine began to be unable to support his increasingly large body, and the rapid development of the day after tomorrow made it difficult for his innate skeleton to support.
His parents had to take him to the hospital again for a check-up. The result of this examination was that his body was secreting a hormone in large quantities, and the cause of this hormone came from a tumor in his head.
The tumor was located very close to his pituitary gland, which is where growth hormone is secreted.
The reason why he is now growing crazy is that he has grown such a tumor, which compresses the pituitary gland, which leads to a large amount of secretion of growth hormone, because this tumor has grown into a giant.
Theoretically, as long as the tumor is removed, Adam Raynal will be able to maintain his current height and not continue to grow taller because of hormone secretion, which is the best of both worlds.
But for the medicine at that time, it was too difficult to operate on the brain, and in the end, the doctor could only suppress the tumor through drugs, but the results were not ideal.
Since then, Adam Raynal's height has continued to grow, eventually reaching a height of 2.41 meters, much taller than our Chinese basketball player Yao Ming.
His tumor grew larger and larger, eventually compressing his optic nerves, blinding his left eye.
Adam Rainer's life was also a big problem: he could not walk normally and had to be supported by crutches; his scoliosis overwhelmed his body. This tumor brought him unparalleled height at the same time, but also brought him endless pain.
Eventually, at the age of fifty, Adam Raynal passed away because he could not bear the great pain.
He has also been called a miracle, a giant-grown dwarfism, the only case in the world.
