When it comes to Chinese giants, many people will think of Yao Ming, but Yao Ming is not the tallest person in China. So far, the tallest normal person in China is Bao Xishun from Inner Mongolia, who is 2.36 meters tall. Bao Xishun also used his height to save two dolphins in an oceanarium. He had used his 1.06-meter-long arm to drill into the dolphins' throats and take out the foreign objects in their stomachs, thus saving the lives of the two dolphins.
The incident in which Bao Xishun saved the dolphins happened in 2006 at an oceanarium in Liaoning. At the time, two young dolphins at the oceanarium were sick and had been unable to eat. After several visits to the clinic failed to make the condition better, doctors finally discovered through a gastroscope what was making the dolphins suffer? Leather ball shavings. The dolphin had chewed up a ball while playing with it and accidentally swallowed the shavings in its stomach.
This is a difficult question for doctors in China, who have no experience in this area. It would be particularly risky to operate on a dolphin to remove a foreign object from its stomach, as it would be difficult for the dolphin to recover from the surgery. Despite the fact that the dolphins could not be operated on, the doctors still had to find a way to save the two little lives. Then the dolphin's attending doctors came up with the idea that they could use the giant Bao Xishun's hand to enter the dolphin's stomach to take out the foreign object.
The head of the Oceanarium found Bao Xishun in time to seek help, and Bao agreed to give it a try. Although it is feasible to take out the foreign objects in the dolphin's stomach by hand, there are still many safety hazards. In order to make this work, the doctors and the staff at the oceanarium made a lot of preparations beforehand. The good news is that the two dolphins are particularly well-behaved, and they are very cooperative with the staff, and they won't move around after they open their mouths. And with an arm length of 1.06 meters, Bao Xishun was able to easily remove the foreign objects from the dolphins' stomachs. After that, the two dolphins were able to recover and eat normally.
