Can you break a world record without taking a bath? On the outskirts of Dejega village, in a mysterious dirt pit, lies an old man who smells like a stench. His skin was as dark as charcoal and covered with a thick layer of dirt that seemed to blend in with the earth. He is known as "the dirtiest man in the world" - Amu Haji.
For more than half a century, Haji had never bathed, and his lifestyle was almost primitive, feeding on carrion every day and smoking with cow dung. His story spread throughout the village, and people were curious and frightened, speculating about the secret behind the old man who didn't take a bath.
The statements in this article are based on reliable sources of information and are detailed at the end of the article.
Over time, Haji's name gradually attracted the attention of the outside world. Guinness World Records officials heard the news and confirmed that he had broken the record for the longest time without a shower. For a time, Amu Haji became the center of global attention.
However, at the very moment when he broke the record, fate played a cruel joke on the legendary old man. At the age of 94, Haji suddenly decided to take a shower. Maybe it's the dirt and stench that has made him unbearable for years, or maybe it's the attention of the outside world that has made him change. But shortly after this bath, Amu Haji died suddenly.
What happened to Amu Haji after years of not bathing, how did he survive in such a hostile environment, and was bathing really the culprit behind his death?
Almost primitive life
Haji is different from the rest and lives an almost primitive life, as if out of touch with modern society. His living environment, his lifestyle, and even his personal hygiene Xi are jaw-dropping.
Haji's world seems to be the garbage heap. He picks up garbage for a living, and the scraps that are abandoned by people are cold, but in his eyes they are the delicacy of life.
He would taste the flies-ridden food with relish, and even be ecstatic at the sight of some carrion or a porcupine that had been killed. He would roast the meat on the fire or steam it in an iron pot and feast on it. His pipe is filled not with tobacco leaves, but with dried animal manure.
His clothes were shabby, the cotton wool was rotten, and it smelled disgusting. He wears only one piece of clothing throughout the year, plus a hat at most to keep out the cold. He rarely interacted with people, lying in the sun by rocks and garbage heaps during the day, and sleeping directly in the dirt pit at night. The villagers built him a brick house, but he stubbornly returned to his little dirt pit.
And the most shocking thing is his personal hygiene Xi. He hasn't been bathed since he was in his 20s. His body stinks like a wild man.
He used to be sunny and handsome, but the setback of a relationship made him what he is now. What made him choose such a lifestyle? What made him so resistant to the comfort and convenience of modern society? Perhaps in his heart, there was an unknown pain and struggle.
Why not take a shower?
Haji used to be a sunny and handsome young man, but because of a painful relationship experience, his life has changed dramatically. He is no longer an ordinary villager, but has become a "weirdo" in the village.
Haji's love story is warm and touching. When the new female colleague fainted due to illness, he did not hesitate to rush to the hospital with her on his back. This kindness and bravery touched the female colleague, and she fell in love with him. Their relationship grew deeper and deeper, and they finally entered the palace of marriage. However, happy days are always short-lived.
Haji's wife suddenly fell seriously ill, and the once-thriving family was plunged into grief. Despite his best efforts in working, caring and seeking medical treatment, his wife's condition deteriorated and she eventually left him.
Grief-stricken, Haji made a shocking decision. He quit his job, returned to his hometown, and never bathed again. The villagers were puzzled and disgusted by his behavior, and tried to persuade him many times to no avail. They don't understand why he chose such a way of life.
It turned out that Haji did this to preserve the smell on his wife. In his heart, it was the taste of his wife, the taste of love, and the only sustenance in his life. He didn't want to lose that smell, he didn't want time to erase the traces left by his wife.
As time passed, Haji's fear of bathing grew, and he firmly believed that bathing would make him sick and that only by not bathing could he stay healthy.
His Xi habits became more and more bizarre, wearing only a shabby dress and living in a rudimentary dirt pit all year round. He had become unshaven and covered in dirt and germs, like a wild man.
The villagers tried to persuade Haji to bathe on several occasions, but he firmly refused and even developed a fear of everything clean. His psychological condition gradually deteriorated, causing him to become withdrawn and stubborn. His attitude towards life has also changed dramatically, becoming indifferent to everything.
Haji's life became lonely and difficult. He lived in isolation and became a "weirdo" in the eyes of the villagers. However, his perseverance and perseverance have touched countless people. His story spread throughout the village and even further afield.
Still, Haji is nostalgic for the good old days. He often reminisces about the happy times he spent with his wife, and those heartwarming images he will never forget. He had tried to retain his wife's residual smell by not bathing, but this practice made him more and more weird.
Don't take a shower and don't get sick?
What is it that makes Haji like this? Is it the painful torment of love or the despair of life? Maybe both.
But Haji was a peculiar being, having not bathed in decades, and his skin was covered in a thick layer of soot and sticky pus, taking on a blackish-brown hue. An indescribable stench emanated from his body, attracting a large number of flies and mosquitoes.
Still, incredibly, Haji is a rare fit person. He feeds on carrion, drinks dirty water, and even sucks cow dung, while his body remains strong and shows no signs of discomfort. He is like a walking miracle that shatters conventional perceptions of health and longevity.
This miraculous existence has garnered global attention. A medical doctor from the Tehran School of Public Health led a medical team to the small village and decided to conduct a comprehensive physical examination of Haji.
After a series of rigorous tests, the results were astonishing: apart from trichinosis associated with eating raw meat, there were no signs of any bacterial or parasitic infection in Haji's body!
The MD doctors studied this phenomenon in depth and found that Haji gradually developed a strong immune system in his body. This immune system has given him extraordinary resistance to various diseases.
In addition to physiological factors, Haji's health and longevity may also be related to his calm and quiet attitude towards life. Although his lifestyle may seem primitive and unhygienic, he has not given up on taking care of his self-image. He occasionally looks in the mirror and trims his overgrown hair and beard, showing a dedication and love for life.
Haji was well-educated, and he wasn't content to just make ends meet. He would share historical stories and current political news with the villagers, adding a touch of color to the monotonous life. His attitude towards life shows that despite the harsh environment, he never gave up his pursuit and love of life.
However, Haji was troubled by the sudden fame. He didn't want to be noticed by too many people, and felt that the attention from all over the world had turned his otherwise peaceful life into a hustle and bustle.
but died of bathing
He takes the sky as the cover and the earth as the house, and lives a life of peace with what happens, as if he is a hermit outside the world, which leads people to infinite reverie. His life is full of mystery and legend, and one can't help but want to explore the story behind him.
At the age of ninety, Haji has always maintained a different way of life, and he resolutely does not bathe, becoming the person in the world who has remained unbathed for the longest time. However, just when people thought he would spend the rest of his life like this, he suddenly changed.
The 94-year-old Haji has changed his attitude of resolutely not bathing in the past and compromised with reality. He followed the advice of the villagers, went into the bathhouse, and took a comfortable bath. It was the first time in more than half a century that Haji had taken a bath. There has been speculation as to whether this means that Haji is about to start a new life.
However, fate played a cruel joke on Haji. Not long after he finished taking a bath, he suddenly fell ill and was not cured for months. His physical condition deteriorated, and he finally left this world forever on October 23, 2022, at the age of 94.
Haji's death has aroused widespread concern and discussion. Some people believe that bathing is the main culprit of Haji's death, while others believe that after all, Haji is old and his body functions are declining, and any minor illness can become a fatal blow.
Although Haji's quirky fetishes make him seem out of place with the world around him, we can't deny that it's the lifestyle he chooses. He expressed his single-minded love for his wife with his life's actions and fulfilled the promise he made with his wife. That alone deserves our deep admiration.
In this world, everyone has their own way of life and values. For Haji, he chose to express his love and commitment to his wife in a special way. His lifestyle may seem strange to others, but he holds true to his beliefs and promises.
epilogue
The life of the elder Haji is the best interpretation of love and commitment. He expressed his deep love for his wife in a way that was far from the world. Although he failed to overcome fate in the end, his story teaches us to cherish and appreciate true love. May everyone find their own happiness and commitment, and make life meaningful.
However, it is not advisable for Haji to insist on not bathing for 68 years, and there may only be such a special case in the world, and we still have to pay attention to hygiene in our normal life.
