Who is the "first giant" of our country?
Probably most friends will think of the current chairman of the men's basketball team, Yao Ming, known as the "Moving Great Wall", Yao Ming's height is 226 centimeters, and ordinary people seem to be like a child in front of him.
Yao Ming's height is indeed very high, but he is not the tallest person in our country, China's first giant's name is Bao Xishun, his height is a full 10 centimeters higher than Yao Ming, reaching 236 centimeters.
Such a huge height has brought Bao Xishun a lot of advantages, but it has also brought a lot of troubles, for example, Bao Xishun does not listen to the doctor's advice and insists on wanting a child, so how tall is his child?
Born in 1951 in Chifeng, Inner Mongolia, Bao Xishun was an authentic herder who grew up on the grasslands. Before Bao Xishun was 15 years old, his height was still normal, and he looked a little thinner than his peers.
Bao Xishun's family situation is not good, to be precise, some are poor, and eating is a problem, so Bao Xishun was a little malnourished when he was young. But from the age of 15, Bao Xishun's height began to grow wildly, and by the time he was 20 years old, his height had exceeded 2 meters.
This is very puzzling, Bao Xishun's height development is actually diametrically opposite to ordinary people. Normally, when a little boy grows to 9 years old, the gonads begin to develop, the sex hormones will make people's bodies rapidly increase, and by the age of 16 or so, the gonads will mature and the epiphyseals will slowly close to reach the final height of adults.
Most ordinary people are like this, but Bao Xishun began to grow in height violently from the age of 15, until he was in his 20s, and his height was finally fixed at 2.36 meters.
What is the concept of 2.36 meters?
With his wife's height of 1.68 meters, it is only up to his waist. When Bao Xishun stood up, he was like a god, even if he sat down, it was two meters high. But such a height not only did not bring him joy, but brought him great trouble.
Bao Xishun's family situation is not good, itself is somewhat malnourished, when his height is growing rapidly, nutrition has not been able to keep up, which led to Bao Xishun's body is very weak, coupled with his frequent sleep on the floor, so unfortunately suffered from rheumatoid arthritis (1971).
Huge height naturally brings huge weight, arthritis, Bao Xishun can not walk normally. Looking at the painful Bao Xishun, the parents were very uncomfortable, so they sold a sheep in the family and took Bao Xishun to a military hospital in Shenyang for medical treatment, but the high medical expenses soon made the Bao family stretched. Just when the family was desperate, one person took the initiative to find them.
This person is a basketball coach in the military sports compound of the Shenyang Military Region, and when he learned that there was a giant with a height of 2.36 meters in the hospital, his heart immediately blossomed. Finding Bao Xishun, the man said straight to the point:
"As long as you agree to join the basketball team, not only will you eat and wear all-inclusive food, but you can also treat your illness for free!"
Becoming a professional basketball player is Bao Xishun's dream, and he immediately nodded his head and agreed to join the basketball team of the Shenyang Military Region. The next period of time was the happiest and happiest time in Bao Xishun's youth, because of his large amount of food in the past, he could only eat half full every time he ate, and now he could eat openly.
In the past, the family made a dress for him, to pull 5 meters of cloth, is twice the average person, so Bao Xishun's clothes, are the new three years old three years of sewing and mending for three years, but now the basketball team can provide him with the most professional and comfortable sportswear.
In addition, the hospital also treated him for rheumatoid arthritis for free, which made Bao Xishun's heart extremely moved. In order to repay the team, Bao Xishun worked very the training ground and worked very hard. But unfortunately, two years later, he still left Shenyang, left the basketball team, and returned to the prairie lonely.
Why?
Bao Xishun's rheumatoid arthritis has not been cured, and high-intensity training has made his condition worse. Forced to leave his favorite place and live another life.
After returning to the grassland, Bao Xishun, who is not young, should also start a family, but his giant-like height makes the girls on the grassland prohibitive. Relatives had introduced him to several objects, but when the girls saw Bao Xishun, their hearts all fought to retreat.
After that, Bao Xishun, who was already a little shy, became more and more withdrawn, and he began to be afraid of contact with the outside world and became more and more inferior. For a long time to come, Bao Xishun lived in the depths of the grassland, living a solitary life like a hermit, and he rarely left his dwelling place, even in the market not far from him.
But this hermit life is completely shattered with the occurrence of one thing.
When Bao Xishun was 40 years old, his mother died. Before her death, her mother endured physical pain and made several pairs of shoes for Bao Xishun day and night. Because Bao Xishun's height is huge, his feet are 38 centimeters long and 12 centimeters wide, and it is difficult to buy finished shoes for such feet, and Bao Xishun's shoes are generally made by his mother herself. The mother made these shoes before her death, because she was afraid that no one would make shoes for her son after she left!
This incident hit Bao Xishun very hard, and the mother's biggest wish in her life was to hope that her son could find someone who knew cold and warm! He knew he should make some changes.
In September 2004, a restaurant owner named Xin Xing found Bao Xishun. Xin Xing's purpose of coming this time was very clear, he wanted Bao Xishun to come to the door of his hotel as a door greeting!
Bao Xishun was already a little autistic, some inferiority, let him go to the door of the hotel to do the door, such a request is possible? The result was clear, and Bao Xishun directly refused Xin Xing's request. However, Xin Xing did not have a dead heart, but instead followed Liu Bei's Three Gu Maolu during the Three Kingdoms period and visited the door several times.
In the end, Xin Xing's persistence impressed Bao Xishun, and he took a special car specially prepared by Xin Xing for himself. Not to mention, when a super giant like Bao Xishun appeared at the door of a hotel as a door greeter, it quickly caused a sensation in the whole of Shenyang, and the hotel business also exploded, at this moment Bao Xishun finally figured out one thing, the huge height brought him not only torture, but also many benefits.
After the 10-day contract period of the door greeted, Bao Xishun returned home, but he could not stay, he longed for the wonderful world outside. Therefore, Bao Xishun took the initiative to contact Xin Xing, hoping that he could help himself, and Xin Xing did not refuse him.
In this way, Bao Xishun left his hometown again. He not only helps the company with its publicity, but also attends public welfare events, sometimes handing out leaflets on the streets. Whenever Bao Xishun appeared, it would attract the attention of many people, and then many media reporters also reported on him, which made Bao Xishun instantly burst into flames.
The so-called people are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong! After Bao Xishun became famous, he was also questioned by many people, some people said that he must have suffered from gigantism, and there may be pituitary tumors in the brain.
In order to dispel the rumors and for his own health, Bao Xishun chose to go to the hospital for various examinations. The test results showed that Bao Xishun did not have a pituitary tumor, nor did he suffer from gigantism, and his height belonged to natural growth.
Subsequently, a reporter who had been reporting for Bao Xishun submitted various materials to Guinness with his consent to apply for the Guinness World Records. On July 21, 2005, guinness world records headquarters officially announced: Bao Xishun became the "tallest person" in the world to grow naturally!
After Guinness made an official announcement, Bao Xishun not only became popular in China, but even rushed out of Asia, was invited by various organizations, and also participated in activities abroad. Fame is there, but at this time, Bao Xishun still has a heart, that is, marriage problems! At this time, Bao Xishun is more than 50 years old, can he still find a daughter-in-law at this age?
On January 7, 2006, the Northern New Daily and the Guinness World Records Declaration Center came to a global marriage for Bao Xishun, and dozens of women from all over the country came to blind dates. The scene was very lively, but unfortunately none of them succeeded.
The "elder moon" who finally solved bao Xishun's marriage was actually the "benefactor" who invited him out of the mountain - Xin Xing, the restaurant owner!
Under xin xing's matchmaking, Bao Xishun met the one in her life. The girl's name was Xia Shujuan, and the two fell in love at first sight after meeting. On July 12, 2007, Bao Xishun and Xia Shujuan held a grand wedding ceremony at the Tianjiao Camp in the Genghis Khan Mausoleum Tourist Area.
I have to say that when love comes, it really can't be stopped.
After getting married, Bao Xishun and his wife had new hopes, and they both wanted a child. But at this time, Bao Xishun is more than 50 years old, can the two have children? They then went to the hospital for a relevant examination.
After reading the examination report, the doctor said with some hesitation:
"I don't recommend you have children."
Bao Xishun's height is natural growth, his genes are easy to inherit to offspring, if Xia Shujuan is pregnant, it is likely that there will be difficult childbirth, and at this time Bao Xishun's age is indeed a little older.
Of course, although the doctor said that it is not recommended to have children, it does not mean that two people cannot have children, and the two have decided to have their own babies after thinking about it again and again, so that the family is perfect.
It didn't take long for Xia Shujuan to become pregnant. For the next 10 months, the two men carefully cared for "Little Hope." The pregnancy in October was smooth, xia Shujuan gave birth smoothly, and a little boy was born healthily.
So did Bao Xishun's son inherit his height gene?
Bao Xishun's son reached a height of 1 meter 70 when he was 14 years old, although this height is already very good, but it cannot reach the level of "making people look up". After all, there are now fourteen or fifteen-year-old children, and there are many people with a height of 1.70 meters.
It's just that Bao Xishun's height "extreme development period" is after the age of 15, so it is not easy to say how tall his son's height can grow. To this end, Bao Xishun also took his son to do a special identification, and the doctor concluded according to the formula of genetics: the little boy should grow to about 220 centimeters.
In fact, no matter what his final height was, as long as the family could live their small life safely and healthily, it was the best.
