Throughout human history, some people have become the focus of attention because of their height or size. Among them, some are tall and become the tallest people in the world, while others are short in stature and become the lowest people in the world. Here is an introduction to the tallest and lowest people in history.
The tallest man in history
Robert Wadlow is the tallest man in history, he was born in Illinois, USA in 1918, and was 2.72 meters tall. He is more than twice the height of a normal adult male. Robert began to grow rapidly at a young age, earning him the nickname "Alton Giant". Although Robert is amazingly tall, his health has been greatly affected. Because his body could not support his own weight, he had to walk on crutches and often required treatment. Eventually, Robert died of an infection at the age of 22.
Another striking tall man is Zhao Liang, a farmer in China who is 2.46 meters tall. Born in Henan Province in 1951, he was often bullied and ridiculed by his peers because of his different stature. As his height grew, he was recognized by Guinness World Records as the tallest person in the world at the time in 1982. Despite his tall stature, Zahariya lived a relatively simple life, disliked an overly visible lifestyle and was reluctant to give interviews to the media.
The lowest man in history
(Chandra Bahadur Dangi) is the lowest person in history, he was born in Nepal in 1939 and is 54.6 cm tall. His stature was recognized by Guinness World Records as the shortest adult male in the world. Despite his short stature, Qian Nanzhang was very optimistic and cheerful, and was known as the "Dwarf Prince". He lived most of his time in a tribe in Nepal and worked there as an agricultural work.
Another of the shortest people in history is Joyce Gilchrist, who was born in England in 1930 and is only 61cm tall. Her unusually small figure not only attracted a lot of attention, but also became a star in the entertainment industry. She has participated in the filming of films and TV series and showed her figure on tours. Despite her small stature, her personality is very strong and independent, and she has always maintained an optimistic attitude in life.
There is a huge size gap between the tallest and the lowest people in history, but their life experiences and personalities are very striking. Both Robert Wardlow and Qian Nanzhang have experienced various difficulties and challenges brought about by the huge change in their figures. Although their physical differences have had different effects on their lives, they all maintain an optimistic and resilient attitude. Likewise, whether it is Zaharia Thiel or Joyce Richard, they have shown their characteristics and talents in different fields, attracting a lot of attention and support.
In today's society, we should be more respectful and tolerant of different bodies and shapes. Each person has their own unique value and contribution and should not be discriminated against or excluded because of their appearance. Whether we are tall or short, we should adhere to an optimistic attitude, constantly overcome the challenges in life, and pursue our ideals and goals.
