The media shared a very strange story of a man who had not seen a woman in his life for 41 years, who spent him isolated in a Vietnamese forest.
The Vietnamese, Ho Van Lang, lived a secluded life in a forest, after a bitter accident befallen his family during the Vietnam War.
According to the “unilad” website, which published a detailed report on the unique case, the man’s long isolation caused him to not see any female for 41 years of his life.
The source pointed out that the now 49-year-old man was living with his father and family in a remote and small Vietnamese village.
But his father fled him with his brother when he was a young child during the Vietnam War in 1972, after a US bomb killed his mother and two of his brothers.
During his life, the man’s father suffered from a “deep phobia of returning because he did not believe the Vietnam War was over”.
The child lived the life of a real “jungle boy”, as he had not encountered a woman in his life after his mother’s death, and remained throughout that period to this day in the depths of a dense Vietnamese forest spread in the Tai Tra region of Quang Ngai Province.
The “Jungle Boy” subsists on hunting through the use of primitive and necessary tools in addition to picking the fruits that the forest naturally produces.
Snakes, monkeys, lizards, frogs and other animals are included in the man’s usual meals, as he confirmed that his favorite meal is the “mouse’s head.”
When asked if he knew what a female was, he said that his father had never explained it to him. As for the males, he has seen only 5 people in his life since leaving the village, as they were fleeing in fear of them.
“He doesn’t understand many basic social concepts. He spent his whole life in the woods. If you ask Lang to hit someone, he will do it,” says his brother, who left the forest long ago after their escape and lived a normal life, describing his brother as “a child in a man’s body. He doesn’t understand many basic social concepts. Cruelly. He doesn’t know the difference between good and evil. He’s just a kid who doesn’t know anything.”
