Mondo Sports Updated on 2024-01-30

In 1951, Bao Xishun was born in an ordinary farming family in Inner Mongolia. At first, it was no different from other children, until he was 15 years old, when his body suddenly began to grow wildly. In just 5 years, Bao Xishun has grown to an astonishing 21 meter, far more than all peers.

The neighbors in the village all looked at the giant Bao Xishun with strange eyes. They had never seen such a tall person before, and they were both curious and scared. And Bao Xishun himself gradually despaired of his body - he needed to change expensive clothes and pants every week, otherwise he would show his hands and feet;The amount of food he eats alone can feed three or four ordinary people. "My body is a stumbling block in the family!Bao Xishun thought indignantly. Tall brings not only huge expenses, but also mysterious diseases. Severe arthritis tormented the young giant, and he could only curl up in bed, gasping in pain. At this time, an opportunity came - the basketball coach in Shenyang fell in love with Bao Xishun's height and promised to cure his illness and let him go on the court. Despite the persuasion of his neighbors and friends not to go, the giant decided to dare and pursue his dream. After coming to Shenyang, Bao Xishun was like a fish in water. He was cured of a physical ailment and became a member of the team. While no one under the basket can compete with him for rebounds, dribbling and moving are still clumsy.

However, the veteran coach of the Shenyang team didn't care. "What we have is time and patience to develop slowly. He said to the giant. So Bao Xishun began to train hard. His teammates saw him as sensible and honest, and also helped him deal with the chasing and harassment of reporters and fans. Over the course of a few months, the Giants gradually adapted to the pace of life as a professional player, and even learned to slam dunk or two. "We giants have finally opened our minds!The team cheered. Bao Xishun also sincerely thanked the veteran players for their help and guidance.

However, the good times were short-lived. A few years later, severe arthritis flared up again, and Bao Xishun's knees and ankles ached. He had to admit his physical disadvantage to the coach, and finally left the whole team. "If only I could last a few more years. The giant left with some regret in his heart. Those years were the happiest days of his life, and he was reluctant to say goodbye. Back in his hometown, Bao found that everything had changed. The former playmates are all married, and some have even become grandfathers. Only then did Bao Xishun realize that he had missed the best age to get married. The only unmarried girl in the village was a 60-year-old widow, and there was no suitable candidate.

I'm destined to live alone in this life. The giant leaned under the old jujube tree and smoked half a pack of cigarettes in one go. He began to regret his decision when he was young – if he hadn't gone to Shenyang to play, he might have married and had children. A wave has not settled, and another wave has risen. The giant's parents died one after another, and the great grief almost crushed him. At this time, an opportunity came: a producer fell in love with Bao Xishun's tall physique and invited him to star in a new play. "Acting?The giant hesitated for a moment, then decisively agreed. Anyway, I have nothing to do to pass the time. To his surprise, this appearance unexpectedly gained love. "You can be red!The director encouraged him. Since then, China's first giant has entered the entertainment industry and started a new life.

After starring in his first play, Bao Xishun couldn't stop anymore. He soon became a popular fried chicken, and various variety shows and TV series vied for invitation. "We need a tall supporting actor. "Giants are the perfect fit!In the performances again and again, Bao Xishun gradually honed his acting skills. He learned how to use his height advantage to attract the attention of the audience without being too obtrusive. At the same time, his emotional intelligence and social skills are improving.

I used to be scared when I saw people, but now I have no pressure at all. "The giant is full of confidence. This series of changes finally culminated in 2005. At the instigation of a friend, the 56-year-old Bao Xishun went to the United Kingdom for testing, and finally won the title of "Tallest Natural Human" in the Guinness Book of World Records. "I was so excited that I couldn't speak. "The giant recalls the most glorious moments of his life. From superstar to Guinness, he finally stood on the highest podium in his life and fulfilled his dream of being a teenager. At the same time as his career reached its peak, Bao Xishun ushered in the second spring of his life - he met love.

In 2006, the giant rescued a dolphin on television that had accidentally ingested a foreign object. His brave and fearless appearance moved the audience, especially attracting the attention of Xia Shujuan, a single woman. "I admire his kindness and determination. Shujuan admired her friends. After being introduced by a friend, she mustered up the courage to contact Bao Xishun, and the two hit it off. "I didn't expect the giant to be so gentle and considerate in private. Shujuan fell in love with Bao Xishun's introverted and steady personality. She didn't mind the other person's height and aging face, and just wanted to spend the rest of her life with her. A year later, the 56-year-old China's No. 1 giant married Shujuan. At the wedding scene, celebrity guests gathered, and the host said sourly: "Today we witnessed a fairy tale miracle - Prince Charming will also be late, but he still came after all."

After entering the marriage hall, Xia Shujuan longed to have a child of her own. But considering Bao Xishun's age and physique, the doctor strongly advised them not to have children. "You see, Mr. Bao has a history of hereditary diseases, and his son is likely to inherit the giant gene, and life will be very painful at that time. However, the giant and his new wife did not give up, and Xia Shujuan finally became pregnant at the age of 48 and gave birth to her son by caesarean section. "It's good that the child is safe. The moment he picked up the baby, Bao Xishun burst into tears with excitement. He vowed to give God the best life and always support his children's dreams. At first, Tianyou was stunted and about the same height as a normal boy. The giant secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't want his son to repeat his own tragedy. However, at the age of 10, Tianyou entered an abnormal growth period, and within a year, he soared to 16 meters.

It seems that the 'giant gene' is really inescapable. "Bao Xishun is a little worried, but more proud. The 14-year-old Tianyou maintains a growth rate of 20 centimeters per year, which is expected to reach 22 meters tall, close to the glory of giants.
