When it comes to China's giants, many people will think of basketball superstar Yao Ming, whose wonderful basketball career makes people remember him. In fact, there are giants taller than Yao Ming in China, although they are taller than Yao Ming, but their fate is not as lucky as Yao Ming.
His name is Wang Fengjun, and he was born in Yangjiahe Village, Dianzi Township, Shaanxi County, Sanmenxia City. When he was a child, Wang Fengjun, like ordinary children, had a normal height, and it was not until the fifth grade of primary school that his body began to "grow like a joint". At the age of eighteen or nineteen, he grew to one meter nine, and when he was twenty years old, he exceeded two meters, and his parents realized the seriousness of the problem, and from then on, his parents took him to various places to see a doctor.
Later, after the doctor's diagnosis, it was believed that Wang Fengjun suffered from pituitary hyperplasia, and the growth hormone secreted by the pituitary gland was 5 times that of normal people, which is commonly known as "gigantism". Later, his height reached a staggering 2 meters 55, nearly 30 centimeters taller than Yao Ming, and he was called "the tallest man in Asia". The shoes he wears are 75 yards, the bed is 3 times longer than ordinary people, and he will become the focus of everyone wherever he goes. He was simple in nature, looking tall and mighty, but his body was actually weak.
With the advantage of height, Wang Fengjun signed a contract with Deng Jianguo in 2000 and became a special actor of Guangdong Superstar Film Company, and has starred in TV series such as "Gege Wants to Get Married" and "Mother's Happiness". The height of 2.55 meters made Wang Fengjun attract much attention and pain, and later he suffered from diseases such as necrosis of the femoral head and had no choice but to return to his hometown to recuperate. In 2013, after Dahe Newspaper published a report entitled "The Wish of Asia's First Giant", Wang Fengjun once again received media and social attention. Under the guidance of this newspaper, Henan Asia-Pacific Bone Disease Hospital decided to take it to Zhengzhou for free treatment. In June 2014, Wang Fengjun was discharged from the hospital and went home to recuperate.
Unfortunately, in the end, under the torment of anemia and failure of various organs in the body, Wang Fengjun became weaker and weaker, and finally died at the age of 39. In the last moments of his life, he did not forget to instruct his family to donate his cornea and organs on his body. Wang Fengjun was in middle age, but he died young due to "gigantism", which is deplorable. There is no more sickness in heaven, may he go all the way!
