At 2.2 meters, height becomes a burden

Towering at 2.2 meters tall, Liu Wenzhe is confined to his extra long bed at home in Xiangyang, Hubei province on May 5, 2011. At 17, Liu started to outgrow his peers due to a pituitary tumor, also known as gigantism. The condition has put an enormous strain on Lui's life. He spends most of his time confined to his bedroom. He has no girlfriend or job, and dreams of achieving both so he can live a happy life. [Photo/Xinhua]
