Love will solve it all. Indeed, there is no other way. A famous hairy Chinese man, who calls himself King Kong, will marry at the end of 2007. Yu Zhenhuan, 30, baptized himself King Kong after watching the Hollywood Movie.

"I feel King Kong is a true man,
strong and doing everything for the woman he loves. At this point, I am alike him." said Yu.

Yu met his girlfriend at a friend's party. "We fell in love at the first sight. I am enjoying the feeling of being in a relationship. I am like King Kong and would do everything for the woman I love. If my schedule is not too full this year, I plan to get married with her at the end of the year," said Yu, who was expecting this day for a long time. "I am a normal person. But when I was young, I always felt I was inferior to others, who saw me as a freak."

Yu is a native of Anshan city and his body is covered by black hair.

Yu possibly suffered a mutation that activated an ancient character. Such traits, reminding us of real or supposed evolutionary lost characteristics are called atavisms. They usually appear because genes for previously existing phenotypical traits are not discarded from the genome, but often preserved and just inhibited by our DNA. Even if these genes are not expressed, a mutation can reactivate them.

Atavisms that have been found in humans are for example babies born with a vestigial tail, named "coccygeal process", "coccygeal projection", and "caudal appendage", but other atavic traits in humans can be the presence of large, ape-like canines, the development of claws instead of nails or the presence of more than one pair of mammary glands.

To prove that he's a normal person, Yu said he will register in the contest that establishes the person to carry the Olympic torch during the games that will take place in China in 2008.
