Being tall in China is almost a death sentence (5 photos)
Tall height is a beauty, it is considered so in many cultures. But for a girl in China, tall height is practically a death sentence. After all, a girl should be cute, small, with thin legs and arms, white skin - this is what the ideal girl looks like in the Chinese imagination. 
Not a head taller, not two, but three!
And if you are unlucky enough to be born tall, you will face thousands of trials, and the chances of finding a boyfriend are close to zero.
226 centimeters of beauty
25-year-old Xiao Mai from the Chinese province of Heilongjiang can neither get married nor find a boyfriend. And she is beautiful in all respects, except for one thing - her full height is 226 centimeters.
Of course, this is a very tall height, taller than any man she knows. Her mother was so desperate to marry her daughter that she even published a video about her. Under it, she asks guys who liked Xiao to write. 
It's good to be tall, you can eat like crazy and not get fat
But in their simplicity, many figured out where the girl's house is and dragged themselves to her door (simplicity, which is worse than stealing, in fact).
This is all fun, of course, but several months after such stalking, the girl still doesn't have a boyfriend. After all, those who come to an unknown girl's house without an invitation are mentally ill, and the girl is not so desperate yet.
How tall people live in China
It's hard. And not only because the girl always felt uncomfortable sitting at a desk at school (she was 180 centimeters already in the 7th grade). She was doing great on the basketball team, but after an injury she had to give up her only joy. 
This is how much taller the girl is than an ordinary door
The main thing is that in China, in principle, they do not sew clothes for such high ones. For the sake of 1% of the population, no brand will release an additional size range. Therefore, you have to buy clothes from tailors, or from abroad. Can you imagine, a Chinese woman does not buy on her Ali and other marketplaces?! This is simply emotionally uncomfortable for a Chinese man.
But the most important thing is that the Chinese categorically do not want a tall wife. A wife should be shorter than her husband, small, cute, then she can be proud. Not a single guy she liked ever considered her seriously. 
But the Brazilian giantess, she is doing just super well!
Height discrimination
In general, they often write that it is a myth that it is difficult for tall people in Asia. And that everything there has long been tall. In fact, I do not quite agree, in Korea, many are tall and therefore everyone there is of normal height. But in Japan, in old houses, and even some new ones, the ceilings are sometimes at the level of "a man is about to scratch the ceiling with his head." 
The girl-shorter-than-guy pattern is broadcast literally EVERYWHERE in China
Apparently, new regulations are forcing the Japanese to build higher and higher, but they will not get rid of the old stock anytime soon. And the jambs above the door are generally a "baptism of fire" for a foreigner in some eateries.
