Giant infant
Chinese
巨婴 or 巨嬰
Exact meaning
A "grown-up infant"
Origin
A Country of Giant Infants
Giant infant[1] (Chinese: 巨婴 or 巨嬰), spelled 'ju ying' in Hanyu Pinyin,[2] alternatively translated as giant baby, is a Chinese buzzword that originally denotes a baby of giant size,[3] but is now generally used to describe a psychologically immature adult.[4] The term was first used by Chinese consulting psychologist Wu Zhihong in 2016 in his book titled A Country of Giant Infants.[5]
In A Country of Giant Infants, the concept refers to a "grown-up baby" who is physically an adult, but whose mental development is still at the level of an infant before the age of one.[6] The nation formed by these giant babies is called the "Giant Baby Nation".[7]
These "giant infants" are afflicted with a range of mental disorders – anxiety, depression, paranoia, persecution mania, feelings of helplessness.[8] They are formed unconsciously. Being taken care of is not the most important characteristic of a giant infant, but rather the lack of opportunity to become an independent individual.[9]
