According to the Telegraph, between the years 1920 - 1970, a deadly epidemic ruined the happy lives of Yangsi villagers, mainly affecting the children

. There are just over 100 households in the village, more than half of whom have young children who suddenly become sick between the ages of 3-8. Children with knee pain, weak arms and legs, loss of mobility, their parents worried about the doctor but could not find the cause. Several years after experiencing the above symptoms, the children do not grow taller The villagers were bewildered, because they lived in the same area, drinking from the same well, getting food from the same land, and the children were not the result of inbreeding.

Many scientists have come here and conducted medical examinations for the dwarves, analyzing soil, water and seeds samples here but have not found the cause. Someone surmised that this symptom was poisonous gas poisoning when the Japanese occupied this place. But in fact, the Japanese military has never set foot in this land. In 1997, a study showed high levels of mercury in the soil, but it has not been shown to be associated with strange symptoms Yangsin villagers experienced. The Chinese government does not deny the existence of the village but also does not allow foreign visitors to visit. Photo: Wu Chuanming
There are other opinions that this is the punishment of their ancestors, because before the dead were not properly buried.



There is even the story of the curse of a black turtle. After seeing this strange animal, the villagers killed and ate it, so it poured out rage on the future generations. Photo: Procaffenation.
To take care of the paralyzed elderly mother, the Wang Shihai brothers had to borrow money to buy chickens and ducks, raise rabbits, pigs and other livestock. They often have to get up very early, walk tens of kilometers out of the village to graze poultry. Sometimes the sheep get mad and rush down the mountain, they also cannot keep up.

86 cm tall, Liu Peixiao, is considered the "man in the pocket".



He used to go to school early and was good at using the abacus, then became an accountant for the villagers. Liu is fortunate to marry a woman twice her height. They have two sons and a daughter, the youngest because he passed a prestigious university. With no conditions, Mr. Liu tries to borrow his children to go to school, hoping that his son will get a good job in the city. Photo: Wu Chuanming.
Over the years, some villagers have left the area out of fear of a strange disease, but the situation is improving as the younger generation gradually grows taller. Photo: SCDaily.
