Don Ji is only 0546 meters, in 2012 was identified by Guinness as the world's shortest male, in his early life was rough, but in his later years, he started his own business and earned 1 million US dollars, writing a piece of his own inspirational life.
Let's take Soho to talk about the life of the "pocket man" Don Ji!
On December 22, 1940, Tangi was born in a remote mountainous area of Nepal, where his family raised sheep for a living.
His parents and brothers are both normal-looking, only he has been unusually short since he was a child. Because he had never been to the hospital, he did not know what disease he had until he died.
For as long as he can remember, he was an unpopular man, despised by his neighbors, ridiculed by his village, and spurned by his crush, which he felt was the most vicious "curse" of fate on him.
When he was 12 years old, his parents died, and he was left to live with his older brother.
Because he was too small and weighed only 12 kilograms, he couldn't do heavy work at all, so he helped with housework and herding sheep, or weeding with a special hoe.
Usually when he goes out, it is difficult for him to walk alone for a long time, so he can only let his nephew, who is 1.78 meters tall, carry him on his back, otherwise he can only move in small steps by himself.
Because of his own defects, he never married and had children in his life.
Despite his physical impairment, Don Guy imagines living and working like a normal person, and he tells many people that his dream is: to travel the world.
It's not easy to just go out and find a job, but you can only get endless rejection and ridicule.
Eventually, a company agreed to let him go as a free apprentice, so Don went in a hurry.
A few years later, with the help of family and friends, he started a business. It is mainly to produce and sell furniture and supplies of special sizes, which are mainly to meet the needs of people with special physical conditions like him.
Due to the practicality and high quality of his products, they were quickly welcomed by the market. In just a few years, his business was a huge success, and he earned $1 million as a result.
Instead of enjoying his wealth alone, he began to do all kinds of charities, donating to schools to help poor families and helping people who had the same tragic experience as himself.
During the Chinese New Year in 2012, Tang Ji's nephew accidentally discovered while watching TV that the shortest person in the world was 06 meters, while his own uncle only 0546 meters, so he was advised to apply for the Guinness Book of Records.
Tang Ji, who is 72 years old, never dreamed that he would have such an opportunity. The family then flew to the capital, Kathmandu, for the first time on February 22 to be surveyed by doctors and Guinness officials.
On February 26, they got a reply from Guinness, and Don Guy managed to get an official Guinness certification, beating the previous record to become the shortest male in the world.
After getting certified, Tang Ji's life changed dramatically, countless fans came to his home, visited him, **hung his **and** on the Internet every day, and he became an internet celebrity.
After becoming famous, he finally had the reason and motivation to move forward towards his dream, and he really started to travel the world.
Because of his popularity, he often flies to the capital and has also visited Australia, the United Kingdom and other countries. For the first time in his life, he went to the Sydney Opera House and touched the sea with his own hands.
In September of the same year, he became a public figure, and together with Jyoti, the shortest woman in the world, he filmed the "2013 Guinness World Records" promotional video.
In November 2014, he met the world's tallest man, Sultan Kosen, for the Guinness Book of 10 anniversaries.
On March 18, 2015, he was in the public eye for the last time, preparing to perform with the Indian circus in the South Pacific island nation of Samoa.
