In 1951, a destined child was born on the vast land of Inner Mongolia - Bao Xishun. His birth was the beginning of a legendary life.
At the age of fifteen, Bao Xishun's height suddenly soared to an astonishing 1.9 meters, as if he had received a gift from heaven. The tall figure brings many unique conveniences to the ordinary, such as those heights that are difficult for ordinary people to reach, which he can easily reach.
But at the same time, the extraordinary height also gave Bao Xishun endless troubles and troubles.
In order to alleviate the burden on his family, Bao Xishun had to drop out of school and return home to work as a farmer before completing his studies. I thought I was living an ordinary and stable life, but fate played tricks on this naturally different giant.
Getting taller only brought more trouble, and Bao began to suffer from rheumatoid arthritis. The disease undoubtedly gave him a serious obstacle to his dream.
When he was younger, Bao Xishun dreamed of becoming a professional basketball player, but a joint disease made it difficult for him to train at high intensity, and he had to give up on this dream.
What is even more regrettable is that the discriminatory gaze of society on people with special stature at that time made Bao Xishun feel extremely frightened and inferior. How he longed that he could be an ordinary person again, not to be stared at by strange eyes, not to be treated as a monster.
The excessively tall figure brought endless troubles to Bao Xishun, and the disease of rheumatoid arthritis made his dream road difficult. In those years of simply pursuing dreams, basketball was once the love and persistence of Bao Xishun's heart.
He hopes to use his height advantage to make a big splash on the pitch and become a professional footballer.
However, the reality is cruel, and the joint disease makes Bao Xishun gradually unable to cope with the high-intensity basketball training. Every time he practiced, his legs would be in unbearable pain, as if he was crushed by the weight of 10,000 tons.
Bao Xishun stubbornly gritted his teeth and insisted, but finally realized after countless futile attempts that maybe this path would not work.
At that moment, the fire of dreams in Bao Xishun's heart was completely extinguished, and he fell into unprecedented despair and loss. What's even more tragic is that the discriminatory gaze of society at that time on people with special stature made Bao Xishun feel deep inferiority and fear.
Whenever he went out, he could always feel strange eyes from all directions, like an invisible sharp knife stabbing into his heart.
How Bao Xishun once wished that he could be an ordinary person again, not to be stared at by strange eyes, not to be regarded as a monster. It is difficult for ordinary people to understand, and for people with outstanding height, even the most ordinary dressing problem is a huge problem.
Bao Xishun has worked hard to find clothes that fit. Fortunately, his mother was ingenious and repaired his clothes by hand all year round.
But mother's love eventually came to an end, and the death of Bao Xishun's mother at the age of forty gave him a great spiritual blow. With her introverted personality, Bao Hee-soon prefers to stay at home alone and escape from the eyes of the outside world.
He didn't think too much about his future, and laughed at himself that this was fate, and there was no possibility of change. But just when he was at his most desperate, the door of fate opened a new path for him.
Fate often begins to turn around when people are at their most desperate. Just when Bao Xishun lost confidence in life, the appearance of a businessman brought him unexpected opportunities.
In order to promote his brand, the businessman took the initiative to invite Bao Xishun to be the spokesperson. At first, the introverted and shy Bao Xishun was not interested, and once rejected this seemingly absurd invitation.
But under the repeated persuasion of relatives and friends, Bao Xishun finally let go of his psychological baggage and bravely walked into the public eye.
This endorsement event became a turning point in Bao Xishun's life, and he gradually understood that he was not an "alternative" to society, but a unique existence that was different. Some reporters with a keen sense of smell soon discovered what was remarkable about Bao Xishun, and they enthusiastically encouraged Bao Xishun to try for Guinness World Records.
After difficult preparations, in 2005, Bao Xishun won with an astonishing 2. The height of 36 meters successfully broke the record and became the focus of global attention in one fell swoop.
Since then, his name has been widely known around the world, and his legendary story has been spread in the media.
Bao Xishun reportedly heroically rescued two dolphins in the aquarium in an accident. Although he looks cold on the outside, he is full of pure goodness on the inside, and has the ultimate love and respect for life.
It is this kindness and courage that allows Bao Xishun to stand tall and move forward bravely in the face of many difficulties.
After a long period of slump, Bao Xishun finally fought bravely in the mall and walked to the peak of his life step by step. After becoming the Guinness record holder, he instantly became the focus of the public's attention, and countless media gathered to report the news of this "highest man".
Good luck always seems to follow, even in a foreign country, the goddess of fate still favors Bao Xishun. On the eve of his 56th birthday, Bao Xishun met the person who changed his life - Xia Shujuan.
Everything in the past is like yesterday, and Bao Xishun still clearly remembers how he met Xia Shujuan. Originally, Xia Shujuan, who met Bao Xishun through the words of the matchmaker, had some concerns about this man who was over half a hundred years old and surprisingly tall.
She will inevitably worry about the 28-year age difference between the two, as well as Bao Xishun's overly prominent figure, whether it will bring a lot of inconvenience to her future life.
However, after many in-depth exchanges with Bao Xishun, Xia Shujuan gradually discovered that this big man with a rough appearance has a humble and kind quality in his heart, which is worthy of a woman's lifelong efforts to cherish.
So, despite being questioned by the outside world, Xia Shujuan still adhered to her original intention and decided to marry this tall man, fall in love with him, and spend the rest of her life hand in hand.
Soon, the crystallization of their love came as scheduled, and a smart and clever boy was born into the world. According to the doctor's predictions, in time, the child is likely to break through his father2. The height limit of 36 meters inherits and inherits the genetic miracle of the Bao family.
Bao Xishun once revealed in an interview that it was his love for life that made him persist in moving forward despite the pain and suffering of the past years, and finally waited for today's complete happiness.
Now, as an indispensable and important partner in Bao Xishun's life, Xia Shujuan is by her side all the time to fully support her husband, and has experienced ups and downs, ups and downs with him.
Although life is ordinary, the laughter of the two can be heard everywhere, and every effort and effort is condensed into the eternal love and happiness in their hearts.
Bao Xishun once hoped that his son could join the national basketball team, so as to realize the basketball dream he longed for but failed to realize when he was young. But as a father, he will never ask too much of his children.
A parent's wish is to hope that the child will grow up healthy and happy, carefree and that is enough.
According to Xia Shujuan, if conditions permit, they may also consider having a daughter, so as to realize the beautiful dream of "having both children and daughters". It's just that this decision is still being weighed at the moment, after all, Bao Xishun is already old, and Xia Shujuan herself is also an advanced maternal age, and continuing to give birth will face many risks.
However, no matter where the road ahead leads, having a partner who loves each other by their side is their greatest happiness and pride.
Today, Bao Xishun has successfully transformed into an influencer with a large number of loyal fans on social platforms. He opened a personal account on Douyin, recording the bits and pieces of his daily life in the form of short videos, which attracted the attention of countless netizens.
Some netizens once encountered Bao Xishun in Taikoo Li, Chengdu. Although he has to rely on crutches to maintain his walking, his calm expression can be seen that his mental state is still very full, with an optimistic smile on his face.
Being able to travel by plane like an ordinary person shows that Bao Xishun's physical condition has been maintained very well.
For the elderly of the same age, Bao Xishun's situation is undoubtedly a great boon. There is no doubt that this "Internet celebrity uncle" who is over the age of old is now living a happy life.
He always finds time to get together with the children of his family and friends, and accompanies them to shoot happy short videos, and his heart is filled with infinite joy.
Although he is getting older, Bao Xishun still maintains a tall and strong posture, and there is no sign of aging. At the beginning, he may never have imagined that his height would become the focus of conversation today in 2023, bringing him such a steady stream of attention and heat.
In the live broadcast room, he can use the convenience of Internet resources to tell the unique charm of his home items and vigorously promote local specialties.
Perhaps at this moment, Bao Xishun is sighing that height is the most precious gift from God for him. If he didn't have this unique figure, he wouldn't have had the opportunity to try so many wonderful life encounters.
And now, although it is the last journey of his life, Bao Xishun is still active in the ocean of the Internet like a young man, living a free and easy life.
Looking back on Bao Xishun's magnificent life course, we can't help but be impressed. Born into an ordinary peasant family, he was destined to be extraordinary from birth, and at the age of fifteen, his height increased by leaps and bounds, which opened the prelude to a legendary career.
Along the way, Bao Xishun has experienced various setbacks such as family poverty, illness, and disappointed dreams, but he has never given up hope and has always gritted his teeth and persevered in moving forward. It is this spirit of perseverance and self-sacrifice that allowed Bao Xishun to finally get rid of the haze and usher in a turning point in his life.
