However, many have not been able to make achievements in the field of sports, such as Zhan Shichao in the Qing Dynasty, Bao Xishun in modern times, Zeng Jinlian, Yao Defen, Wang Fengjun and others, who are more than two meters tall, and even many are much taller than Yao Ming's height.
Zeng Jinlian, who was born in 1964 in an ordinary peasant family in Hunan, grew to 2 meters 34 meters tall at the age of 14, 8 centimeters taller than Yao Ming, in fact, from the age of five, Zeng Jinlian was much taller than his peers, when his parents thought that only their children were developing faster, and did not take it as a thing, until the age of 14, the family began to realize that Zeng Jinlian's body was different from ordinary people. In the 60s of last century, the whole country was generally very poor, but Zeng Jinlian's terrible height also made her eat more than ordinary people, a meal to eat about 2 kilograms of rice, the family's economic conditions are difficult to afford, Zeng Jinlian had to reduce the amount of his meal, fortunately, after the government learned of this matter, Zeng Jinlian made a certain amount of help, so that he could eat enough.
