How long to bathe, in the mainland is about following the sweet rice dumplings delicious or salty rice dumplings delicious and eat tangyuan or dumplings in the New Year, the most controversial topic.
Living in the south, where the air is humid and the temperature is relatively high, many people have to bathe every day, even in winter. But people living in the north, where the air is dry and the temperature is relatively low, can't understand the people who bathe every day, they think it's good to wash every two or three days, when the weather is too cold, even a weekly washing is a common thing.
Therefore, some people in the south who love to be clean say that the northerners do not know clean, and the northerners retort that the southerners are blind and clean. The reason for this is that this is only a problem caused by the geographical environment. Living in the south, there will be no problems in bathing and washing more skin, but in the north, if you wash too much, your skin will be dry and itchy, and you will have allergies.
But in general, excluding special reasons on the mainland, few people can go all year round without bathing.
However, in foreign countries, those who have not bathed for several years can be said to be a lot of people. Like the Gypsies of faith, the Indians who insist on not bathing for the sake of their son, and an Iranian who has not bathed for more than 60 years.
The Iranian, named Haji, was not bathed for 60 years and earned the guinness of the "dirtiest man" and is still alive today.
Many people said that the dirty things on Haji's skin were like a layer of armor, and the smell of his body was avoidable.
So, why didn't Haji take a bath? Could it be that he is also because of faith?
Men in Iran who don't bathe
When you think of Iran, what comes to mind first?
Is it the battlefield under gunfire, the oil everywhere, the extreme terrorists, or the harsh environment surrounded by yellow sand?
In addition to these, there is a very famous man Haji. Most people are known for their beauty, wealth, talent, or, like those terrorists, for their ferocity.
But Haji is different, he is known for being "dirty". Moreover, Haji is not generally dirty, he is the holder of The Dirty Man on The Guisney Record.
Iran is located in the Middle East, with drought and little rain all year round, and the water resources here are very precious. Therefore, most people do not take a bath when they can. However, in order to keep the body clean, when there is a smell on the body or after ten days and a half months, it will still be washed well.
However, Haji was different, having not bathed in decades. The peculiar smell on his body could be smelled every few tens of meters, and the mud on his body completely covered his own skin.
After hearing about it, the Guinness Book of Records staff traveled thousands of miles to Iran to see for themselves the man who was rumored to have not bathed in decades.
However, after seeing him, the staff was also calmed down by Haji, and the man was really too dirty. The dirt on his body had cracked and looked like a dry cracked riverbed.
In addition to the shock, the staff also asked Haji when he last took a shower.
Haji replied without hesitation: 1954.
When the staff did the math, 60 years had passed.
When the staff asked him why he didn't take a shower, the staff thought Haji would answer because he was poor or didn't want to waste water. But what people did not expect was that Haji replied: because of his wife.
This answer made the second monk confused, what did he have to do with his wife if he didn't take a bath? Could it be that his wife wouldn't let him wash it?
In fact, this is not the case, behind Haji's non-bathing, there is an unforgettable love story.
The taste of the wife
Haji, whose full name is Amu Haji, was born in 1934 in a small village in southern Iran.
At this time, Haji, like ordinary people, would take a bath every once in a while. Even sometimes, the weather is too hot, and I will take advantage of the fact that adults are not paying attention, find a small river and jump into it to take a bath.
In this way, ordinary Haji, like other children in the village, grew up ordinary and happy.
When he reached the age of marriage, like other boys, he saw the girls introduced to him by his parents again and again. However, after seeing many of them, Haji still failed to meet the object of his heart.
By chance, Haji met a beautiful girl, she was so gentle and beautiful. The moment Haji saw her, he fell in love.
Subsequently, under Haji's pursuit, the girl also fell deeply in love with him. After consulting the parents separately, both parents met and met, and they were very satisfied with each other, and they both felt that the other's children could join hands with their own children for a lifetime.
So, with the blessing of his relatives and friends, Haji married his beloved girl.
After the two got married, their feelings were better than before, and Haji loved his wife more and more, and he never let his wife do dirty work.
At the same time, Haji's wife became more and more dependent on him and trusted him, taking care of the housework at home every day, washing and cooking for Haji. Very satisfied with life.
However, the good times are not long, although Iran is not large, but the oil resources are very rich. As a result, there are often other countries or organizations that try to get oil resources from them. In such a situation, Iran is often in the midst of war.
In such an environment, the Iranian people have been in poverty for a long time, and infectious diseases appear from time to time.
Haji's wife, who was at the height of another infectious disease, fell ill with the plague. Because the local medical conditions are too backward, Haji has no choice but to watch his wife weaken day by day.
After his wife's death, Haji's whole being changed. Once he was cheerful and hopeful about life. But now, he has no motivation anymore, he just feels tired.
Haji's parents and friends also felt very sad when they saw him like this, and when they were fine, they went to comfort him.
But the comfort of relatives and friends was another torture for Haji, and every word of comfort reminded him that his wife had left.
Haji, who couldn't stand it, finally locked himself in the house.
As Haji curled up on the bed and licked his wounds alone, he suddenly smelled a familiar smell. The smell belonged to the wife.
After sniffing around, he found that the smell was wafting from his body.
After coming to this conclusion, Haji was ecstatic, and he felt that it was left to him by his wife. As long as he can still smell this smell, it means that his wife has not left.
From this moment on, Haji decided not to bathe again.
Because of the scarcity of water resources, locals rarely bathe. As a result, Haji's move did not attract everyone's attention at first. But as the days passed, Haji's body was already smelling because he had not bathed for a long time.
Haji's parents felt very strange, their son used to love cleanliness very much, how can he not take a bath when his body stinks, so he reminded him from the side.
But Haji did not think so, and directly told his parents: I have the smell of my wife, I can't take a bath, and I can't keep the smell of my wife after washing.
When Haji's parents heard this, they were a little sad, so they no longer forced their son. He felt that after a while, he couldn't stand the smell on his body, and then he would wash it.
But unexpectedly, when the dirt on Haji's body could be seen with the naked eye and the smell of his body could be smelled from a few meters away, Haji still did not want to take a bath.
At first, Haji had a peculiar smell on his body, and there was already a lot of discussion. But when he learned that he was reluctant to take a bath because he had the smell of his dead wife and wanted to keep his wife's smell, the people in the village also expressed understanding, and even many people admired him.
But as Haji's smell grew heavier, those who initially understood him became puzzled, and those who admired him became disgusted. Many people began to take the initiative to persuade him that the stench on his body had covered up the smell of his wife, and it was time to take a bath.
However, no matter what others say, Haji insists that the smell of his wife is still on him. Moreover, because the dirt on his body is relatively thick, the smell of his wife is well protected under this layer of dirt.
Later, in order not to let yourself affect others. Haji chose to leave the village and live in the nearby wasteland.
Eat carrion and smoke fecal smoke
Haji, who left the village, has since lived the life of a tramp.
However, the life of the homeless is also hierarchical. Homeless people living in big cities, when sitting on the side of the road, there will be well-meaning people to give food or change. There were park benches, underpasses, and even tent chairs for the better.
But Haji is different, he lives in a place that is too remote and poor. There are people here who can't even feed themselves. There will be no money for others. The place where he lived was also where he slept.
When he was hungry, Haji's first choice was to look for wild fruits or something, and if not, he would go through the trash can to see if there was any food or food that had been thrown away.
But when he first came out and wandered, every family regarded food as very precious, and few people could tell food to throw away. As a result, Haji couldn't find food most of the time.
But even then, Haji had a way to fill his stomach.
He would run into the deserted woods or on the side of the road, looking for carcasses of animals that had failed to fight with other animals, or large beasts that ate the remaining prey, or animals that had been killed by a car, even if they were squashed, he would pick them up.
Through these places where Haji looked for animal carcasses, we can actually imagine that most of the meat of these animals cannot be eaten. Because no one can guarantee how long this animal has been dead.
However, Khaji didn't care so much, and many times, the animal carcasses he picked up were already decomposing. But as long as there is meat, he can eat it.
And, Haji's way of eating is unacceptable to most people. That is, it is directly mouthed, and there is no consideration of how to cook the meat.
In addition to eating, Haji also had no requirements for water. When he is thirsty, even muddy water he can drink.
During the long wandering, Haji had no other pleasure and smoked.
When he was lucky, he was able to pick up cigarette butts discarded by others, or tobacco leaves. But most of the time, Haji smoked homemade cigarettes.
What can you imagine homemade cigarettes look like? Do you find your own tobacco leaves, dry a roll, light it and smoke it directly?
But this is the practice of ordinary people, even the rotten meat can be eaten raw Haji, how can it use this ordinary method?
Haji used an old-fashioned pipe, but what was lit inside was not ordinary tobacco leaves, but animal droppings.
On weekdays, Haji would go around collecting animal droppings, drying them and directly lighting them. When some herbivores' feces are lit, there is a smell of grass. Haji enjoyed the unique taste.
As his wandering time grew, Haji stopped going farther away and only wandered around his village. But one thing, he would never go to the village.
Having been living without a home for a long time, Haji will also be troubled by this. After considering it, he dug a hole of equal length in a clearing. At first glance, it looks like a cave for a tomb, except that there are no coffins in it.
Seeing this, some people may wonder, what is this person doing digging a grave pit?
In fact, this is really not a place for the dead, but Haji's "house". Every night, Haji would lie down and sleep inside. According to him, the hole was protected from the wind and the cold, as well as the attack of wild beasts. But how to sleep, presumably only he himself knows.
This pit is a sheltered haven for Haji, a stable "home". But in the eyes of nearby villagers, this is a tomb. Many people pass by in the middle of the night and are startled by Haji lying in the pit.
Over time, many villagers complained. But they also can't drive Haji away, it's too inhumane and cruel.
So, the villagers discussed it together and decided to build a house for Haji that could shelter the wind and rain.
The house was not large, although it was made of cement and bricks, but it was only covered on all sides and top, and the size was not much different from his previous cave. As a result, he occasionally returned to his pit.
Until 2014, when The Guinness staff found him, he was still living back and forth in this small house pit.
The local medical team was shocked to hear Haji's story. How did a person live in such a harsh environment for 60 years?
So Fars province set up a medical team to examine Haji's body to see how he had lived in such a harsh environment for 60 years.
The medical team was shocked to see Haji, he was so dirty. At that time, everyone thought that Haji must be full of diseases.
However, after some examination, Haji had no other conditions other than trichinella infection. And this trichinella infection, in addition to causing stomach discomfort, there are no other symptoms.
After the news spread, Haji was also known to more people. Many people are paying attention to the living conditions of this old man and are worried about his future life.
Fortunately, haji now lives in a local shack. Although the environment is not good, at least it is much better than the previous narrow stone house.
brief summary
Haji's experience is so lamentable that we have no way of knowing how he persevered during the decades of his wanderings. But his love for his wife is amazing.
Today, Haji is dying of old age, and hopes that his life will be more stable in the future.
