The man that can't stop growing: 7ft 11in villager who gets taller every year will undergo life-changing surgery so he can finally walk without the help of crutches

One of ‪China‬'s tallest men is due to undergo life-changing surgery that will hopefully mean he will finally be able to walk on his own two legs. Xu Fuhai, 26, has been walking with the help of crutches since his teens following an injury.

However, after almost a decade of suffering, the 7ft 11in giant from a rural village in the eastern province of Shandong has finally been offered a new lease of life.

According to on.cc, Xu, from Dong Guan Tun village, was 7ft 8in last y ear but he grew three inches in the space of a year to 7ft 11in.

This means that he is now taller than the current official tallest man in China, Bao Xishun, who is 7ft 8in. He has an enormous appetite and eats up to 16 buns each meal.
