"The world is full of wonders, and human society is changing with each passing day"
In the natural world, there are many things that we can't imagine, but they are real, let's take a look at these 6 breathtaking pictures and explore those little-known worlds together!
Conjoined twins
The conjoined twins are the Thai Enchang brothers, their father is Chinese, the mother is Thai, and when they were pregnant, doctors told their parents that it could be twins or dragon and phoenix fetuses.
When they were born, they found that the two children were not only physically connected, but also livers, and if the Enchang brothers were forcibly separated, their survival rate would almost drop to the extreme.
In Thailand, this "conjoined baby" is regarded as a symbol of bad luck, and the local people have felt that the Enchang brothers will bring misfortune to the surrounding area, and even the king of the country at that time knew about it, and they also unanimously felt that the birth of the Enchang brothers would affect the fortune of the country and hinder the development of the country.
In this way, the two have been subjected to cold words from others, until one day, an Englishman named Robert found a business opportunity and brought the Enchang brothers to the United States, and it didn't take long for them to find out that this "nobleman" was actually using them to make money.
The helpless Enchang brothers could only be forced to work for Robert's circus for ten years, and with the accumulated popularity, the Enchang brothers also had their own name "Bunker" in the United States, and the two also accumulated a lot of wealth with their daily performances.
In 1843, the Eunchang brothers and their twin sisters Hua Sala and Adelaide were married in a grand church and lived happily ever after, until 1874, when the Eunchang brothers died of illness and then Eun also died not long after.
Civil War veteran Jacob Miller
The man pictured here is Jacob Miller, a Confederate Army veteran of the American Civil War who was wounded by a gunshot wound to the heart of the Battle of Chikamoga in 1863.
According to a 1911 interview with a local newspaper, Jacob Miller said that after he was shot, his troops withdrew, and when he woke up, he found himself in the rear of the Confederate army.
Because Jacob Miller was covered in blood, he was not recognized by the enemy, and in this way, he relied on his strong will to cross the defense line of the Southern army step by step, until he was finally discovered by the friendly forces and sent to the hospital.
After a series of treatments, Jacob Miller's bullet was also removed, although he still had to suffer from headaches every day, he was still strong and really alive, and the government gave him a pension of $40 a month until 1927, when Jacob Miller died at the age of 89.
Lobster Boy
This is a bizarre family, as long as one of the parents suffers from the disease of "lobster hand", the child born must have at least half the chance of escaping the clutches of congenital malformations, although they have their own defects, but they did not give up, but used the characteristics of unusual people to found the "lobster family" circus.
One of the deadliest is the "Lobster Boy" Grady Stiles, because he not only has symptoms in his hands, but also in his feet, which directly causes him to be unable to walk and can only use a wheelchair to move slowly.
Although his birth was unfortunate, his family also paved the way for his future, because their family has an unusual function, so they often use this feature to organize various tours, and the income from each show is also very good, sometimes as high as 50,000 to 80,000 US dollars.
In order to get Grady Stiles involved, his family began to exercise him to use his upper limbs to support his body forward, but the long-term exercise not only freed Grady Stiles from the heavy burden of a wheelchair, but also made him gain a lot of audience love, and once became a popular performance in the circus.
However, as he grew older, Grady Stiles's psychology was also greatly distorted, and he began to drink heavily and domestic violence, which led to a great breakdown of his perfect family.
Faced with a long period of torture, Grady Stiles' wife could no longer bear it, so she secretly hired a neighbor's 19-year-old child to end Grady Stiles's life, and after his death, he was unclaimed for a long time, until the stench of the wicked was emitted, and people hastily buried him.
Three-legged man
Francisco Lentini is the only man in the world with three legs, and his third leg has an underdeveloped foot above the knee, which means that he has a total of 43 legs, 4 feet, and 16 toes.
When he was born, his parents were surprised that he had abandoned him excessively, and his aunt raised him, but for various reasons, his aunt had to hand him over to a welfare home for disabled children.
At the age of 8, Francisco Lentini moved from Italy to the United States, because his third leg was not the same length as the other two, which caused him a lot of problems in his life, but he did not want to give up, but made perfect use of this leg to join the circus of the Ringling brothers.
When he was young, he could perfectly use the third leg to perform and play football on the stage, and was known as the "three-legged football player", God closed a door for him at the same time, but also opened a window for him, he used his charm to successfully start a family, and also had 4 children.
Sadly, in 1966, Francisco Lentini died of illness in Florida at the age of 77.
The fattest couple in the world
There is a couple in the United States, the two of them weigh more than 1,200 pounds, and they are known as "the fattest couple in the world".
However, because the body is too bloated, it is very difficult to sleep or walk, and they can't take care of each other's daily life, so the two of them have the idea of losing weight.
At the beginning, the two of them were not adaptable, because they usually had to eat a lot of meals, but now that they want to lose weight, they can't eat and drink nonsense, and the first day or two is fine, but slowly they can't hold on, and the gluttonous worms in their mouths come out, so they start to eat secretly.
In terms of sports, it is also difficult for the two to complete the goals they set, and the friends around them also said after seeing them, and even suggested that they go for bariatric surgery, so the husband and wife encouraged each other, and everything was developing in a good direction.
Apatani
The Apatani are a tribal people in the southern Tibetan region of China, where there is no Xi of writing down history, but only passing on history orally, and in this region, they worship shamans and worship the sun and moon.
In March every year, they will hold ancestor worship ceremonies, and during the ancestor worship by the shamans to slaughter cows, sheep, chickens and pigs, and when worshipping ancestors, they will also sing some ancestral songs, these songs are derived from myths and legends and the origin of the nation.
But in their area, there is a characteristic of tattooing, that is, now the face is tattooed, and then applied to the face with ink and other things, so that the face can appear pattern, until the 70s of the 20th century, began to abolish the Xi of women's tattoos.
And because of the old society at that time, there were often some land grabbing and women's behaviors, in order to keep women, they began to put nasal plugs on their noses, which is also called "Chaotian nose", and as time passed, the nose became bigger little by little.
Although this practice looks very ugly, in order to keep women and continue the incense of the nation, they can only hope for the beauty of women, which is actually somewhat similar to the Dulong people in Yunnan.
Fortunately, Apatani women no longer have tattoos and sticks on their noses, and they are enjoying their beautiful faces.
