Who longs to lead a normal life? December 15, 2006

Hu is the president of China? (sorry)

Bao Xishun, the world’s tallest man, who was recently called in to rescue dolphins by reaching into their stomachs with his arm, longs to lead a normal life according to People’s Daily Online.

Bao was born in 1951 into a herdsman’s family in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. His family is said to be descended from the offspring of Genghis Khan, but he and his five siblings had a simple childhood.

Until the age of 15 he was of normal height, but then he went through a massive growth spurt, reaching 2.1 metres by the time he was 20. He developed rheumatism when he was young, as he often slept outside on the grassland with legs uncovered.

He shut himself off from the world until 2004

Bao remains shy: ” I want to live a normal life like my father, who is 94.”

Who else would like to lead a normal life? It often sounds tempting to me. First, find yourself a normal planet with normal people on it and then go and live there. Should be easy, but is it?
