In a remote mountain village in central Sichuan Province, there lived a group of people who could also think.

People who understand feelings. And the difference between them and us is that they are five or six years older.

At that time, the body suddenly and permanently stopped growing and developing. Almost all the men, women and children in the village

An appearance-short and incredibly short. Even more surprising, he

Children don't suffer from dwarfism, and no one knows why. Because of this, this small village

Zi's reputation spread far and wide, and people in neighboring villages used to call it "dwarf village" Recently, pens

Who walked into this-

Yangming: the first wonder village in the world

Yangming Village is located in the middle of Sichuan Province, about 60 kilometers southeast of Zizhong County.

Get out of the way Since the 1930 s, the village has been "a generation of dwarfs", adjacent to

People in the village no longer call it "Yangming", but habitually call it "Dwarf Village". number; amount; how many; how much

10 years later, the men and women in the village are almost the same figure-about 80 cm tall, some.

Only more than 40 centimeters high. In 1960s, there were about 120 people in this short village.

Now there are more than 1 10 villagers in the village. The whole village is surrounded by several mountains.

The houses are patchwork, just like a paradise. Regarding the "dwarf village", the villagers are not tall.

There are many rumors. According to the villagers, most of them were born after five or six years.

The body stopped growing inexplicably. Strangely, in a neighboring village opposite a mountain,

But there are no dwarves. No one can clearly say this strange phenomenon. the dwarf village

For decades, people have been living by hard farming in the mountains and fields.

So far. Most of them are "lonely and single" because they are short and unable to get married and settle down.

It is very common in this village. Older villagers who have no offspring only live in the village.

Hometown.

According to relevant data, the previous generations of dwarf village could hardly find a dwarf.

However, since the 1930s, the "dwarves have sprung up in large numbers" inexplicably, although there are very few people with different heights.

Almost normal people suffer from dementia, numbness of legs and feet and other intractable diseases to varying degrees. why

How can this strange phenomenon occur? There are various theories. Because this village is very closed.

Recently, the outside world didn't discover that China has such a "world miracle" until recently.

Today, with all kinds of rumors about "dwarf village", so is this small village.

A little more mystery.

Harmful Well: Is it the real murderer?

For a long time, what is the reason why the villagers in dwarf village are "not tall"?

Opinions vary, so, who is the real murderer?

According to medical practice, the growth rate of human body is mainly secreted by pituitary gland.

This was decided by Chang Su. Due to various physiological or pathological reasons, the secretion of auxin is not

Foot, leading to growth retardation or stagnation, leading to short stature. But according to Dwarf Village,

People reported that their growth and development were completely normal when they were young, but strangely, they were between the ages of 5 and 6.

But 18 years old stopped growing permanently, so it can't be explained by medicine at all.

Later, someone was surprised to find that in the middle of the dwarf village, some grew in the ground.

The crops in the field also inexplicably "don't grow high". On the contrary, it is far from the village.

Hundreds of meters in the middle of the field, but lush trees, a harvest scene. In the village

In the center, there is an ancient well drilled in the 1920s, which villagers have been drinking for decades.

Therefore, some people question whether the "real murderer" will be the source of drinking water.

Provincial, city and county hydrological, geological and mineral detection departments have made special trips to the drinking water source area of Aizi Village for many times.

In-depth inspection and testing of water quality have confirmed that various trace elements such as calcium and phosphorus in water are very strange.

Lack has a great influence on human growth, and the well water in this well is probably the cause.

The "culprit" whose village head is not high.

At the same time, the higher authorities also paid attention to the soil quality of dwarf village and villagers' generations.

The survival and reproduction were investigated in depth, but no clear conclusion was drawn on the drinking water source.

At present, it should be the number one "suspect". To this end, the relevant departments of cities and counties have spent more than 10 million yuan.

Yuan built pumping pipes and pools to fetch water for the dwarves from the nearby Tuanjie Reservoir.

The villagers make drinking water. But so far, due to the water pressure of pumping pipes and many other reasons, dwarf villages

People can only drink the water in the "harm well" that has been used to this day.

Is "harming the well" really the real murderer who caused them to grow taller? the dwarf village

People are eager for science to uncover this annoying secret as soon as possible.

How much joy and sadness.

For the villagers in Dwarf Village today, their short bodies bring hope to their lives.

Many inconveniences.

Chen Zigui, 55, is only 80 centimeters tall. He walked boldly in his early years.

Go out of the mountain village and go outside to "see the world". Because of his short stature, he is not only a tour guide.

People stopped to watch and played many jokes. However, he took the train because it was less than 1 meter.

Free tickets for tours, boats, etc. Of course, "little head" often suffers. Once Chen Zigui was here.

Because there were too many people catching the train, he couldn't get to the side for a long time.

Under the car door, fortunately, the conductor saw it and gently "lifted" Chen Zigui out of the window.

The outside is "handed in" Because people are short, the clothes that Chen Zigui bought are often not available in adult stores.

I can only go to the children's counter. ……

Chen Yu, 75, talks about the troubles caused by being short, and even sighs.

Angry is that her four brothers and sisters are all about 80 cm tall, because they are short and go up the mountain.

It's very hard to live and farm in the fields. Sometimes I tend sheep in the mountains and then suddenly come back.

Will be overturned by goats; It takes several days to go out and buy things on foot, while ordinary people

It only takes half a day to become able to go back and forth; Usually you can only pay people in neighboring villages to build houses.

Help, because the thick wood at the mouth of the bowl is difficult to move. What's more, some people

Seeing their "figures" is often cynical. And this is the most surprising thing for them.

I have no choice but to work in the fields, because I often fall into waist-deep mud as soon as I get off the ridge.

Otherwise, the whole body will be stuck in the mire, let alone lead the cattle to plow the fields.

Short stature is a matter of great concern to the villagers. More care, more understanding,

This is the dream of the villagers.

Comfort in regret

Has the Dwarf Village taken on a new look today? Recent situation of villagers' descendants and children

So what?

Decades have passed, and the dwarf village is still the same, still so poor and backward. Zaicun village

In the house, we can't see red walls and blue bricks, but we can see that many villagers still live in low soil.

In walled houses, these houses have been in disrepair for many years. If there is continuous heavy rain, these soils

What will happen to the fate of the walled house? We simply can't imagine. In the fields of dwarf villages,

Due to the lack of water resources, what is presented to people is a land on the verge of drying up.

Helpless villagers can only hope for rain to solve the crisis.

Among more than 0/00 households in Aizi Village/Kloc-0, some villagers failed to get married because of their short stature.

Some villagers also suffer from dementia or various diseases to varying degrees, so there is a home in the village.

Few people settle down. Few villagers' children are in their twenties. They come from dwarf village.

Most of them are short and obviously thin, but their intelligence is still normal. Most villages

Min's children all go to Yangming Primary School not far away. The third generation of children are not as short as they are.

Amazing, this is the most exciting thing for the villagers, but in their hearts, there is another one.

A beautiful expectation is that in the near future, their descendants can use their hands.

Change the face of the dwarf village and live the same life as normal people.
