Anxious China celebrity couple give short son hormone jabs to help him grow
After two year period during which boy failed to get taller, wife of Olympic boxing champion puts her son on growth-inducing injections
The wife of China’s Olympic boxing champion Zou Shiming has sparked a heated discussion on hormone treatment after she decided to give growth injections to their teenage son, who appeared to have stayed at the same height for years.
Zou’s wife Ran Yingying, a former TV hostess and now an online influencer, said in mid-December that she and her husband had been anxious about one of their their sons, nicknamed Haohao, for two years.
This prompted them to take him to hospital for hormone treatment to make him grow taller, the Shanghai Morning Post reported.
The couple, who are both 162cm tall, have three sons. Haohao, 11, is 136.6cm in height, about 30cm shorter than his brother who is two years older.
Ran said she noticed Haohao seemed not to grow at all over the past two years.
