The Guinness Book of Records contains many world records, and these records are also diverse. The choice of record is not as strict as the Olympics, but is a bit arbitrary.
As long as you have expertise in a certain field, far more than others, you can apply for the Guinness Book of Records challenge. If you complete the challenge under the supervision of a certification officer, you can earn a certificate and be selected for the Guinness Book of World Records.
For example, some people apply for certification, they are the world's largest mouth, others apply for certification, they can get the highest score in a video game, or challenges like that. Among the many record holders, there is such a person who has not bathed for 60 years. His body seemed to be wearing armor, and he set a special Guinness record.
This old man who has not bathed for 60 years is called Haji. Born in 1937, he grew up in the desert region of Iran. We all know that the water resources in the desert region are very precious. People usually don't have enough drinking water, and bathing is a luxury.
Haji has not had a water bath for 60 years in order to conserve water. The dirt on his body had piled up into a thick layer of black "skin", and his face was covered with dirt, making it difficult for people to see his face. Outsiders rarely touch him, because as long as you get a little closer, you can smell the smell on him.
Living in the desert, water is precious, but he can guarantee at least a monthly or annual bath. He was the only one who hadn't bathed in decades. If you don't look closely, you'll think Haji is a dark-skinned African.
According to Haji's fellow villagers, Haji did not bathe not because there was no water, but because Haji had a tragedy that made him mentally resistant to bathing.
When Haji was young, he used to date a girl. They fell in love with each other very much and soon married and formed a small family. Just as they were hoping for a better life in the future, their wife died of illness.
Such a blow to Haji could not be accepted, and he began to act like a changed person, listless all day, sitting in the courtyard in a daze. Later, in order to help him get out of the predicament, the family introduced him to several new girls, but Haji's heart fell on his dead wife, and he could not tolerate others.
From that day on, Haji never bathed again because he thought his skin had come into contact with his wife and had her smell and marks on it. After the bath, these things will dissipate. Although his family advised him to take a shower, it seemed to exacerbate his pain and make him feel that his dead wife could not be with him. Seeing him like this, his family no longer advised him, but left him alone.
At first Haji, it was just dirtier than the others. We can still accept it and continue to spend time with him. But after a long time, these dirts accumulate to a certain extent, which is unacceptable to ordinary people.
Haji was also well aware of the dangers of not bathing, but he was still reluctant to take a bath. To restore his image as a human being, he would still trim his beard and hair, sometimes even doing some styling.
Haji often observes his appearance in the rearview mirror of a roadside car and looks closely from start to finish. He ignored his dirty skin, but as soon as his hair was a little messy, he would start fiddling with his hands to make it look as clean as possible.
Gradually, his beard and hair grew too long to look like a tramp. The family offered to trim him and bathe him.
Upon hearing of the bath, Haji refused. He would rather live in chaos than take a shower. If everyone can't accept his smell and image, he will stay away from everyone. So Haji moved to the suburbs alone, away from where people started living on their own, without bathing.
In order not to let others approach him, Haji simply gave up the normal human lifestyle and began to pick up food discarded by others and start living. Although a lot of food was rotten, it didn't affect him at all.
If he is thirsty, he can find a puddle to drink. Whether the water is clean or not, it can be drunk, and Haji lives a very natural, unrestrained life. Haji, on the other hand, is sometimes bored and also looks for something fun, such as finding some leaves to use as cigarettes.
After the death of his family, no one remembers Haji living in the wild. Many people treated him like a tramp, his smell was getting stronger and stronger, and Haji had been used to it for a long time, but for people, the smell was too bad.
Haji lived under such living conditions until he was 80 years old. He hadn't showered in 60 years, setting a new Guinness Book of Records.
