Liu Wen Zhe, a 34-year-old farmer living in Hubei, China, is 222 cm tall (over 7 feet).

Liu's unusual growth spurt started when he was 17 years old because a tumor in his pituitary gland provoked gigantism, according to an examination.

His biggest inconvenience in his daily life is difficulty in walking through doors and not having many comfortable places to lie down. Another problem is that he can't find any shoes that fit his large feet.  

Zhe is currently jobless and single. His family, all of average height, takes care of him.  

He said his biggest dream is to get a job and live a normal life.
