From Classroom to Marriage: The Unstoppable Journey of The Hensel Conjoined Twins
The Remarkable Lives of Chang and Eng Bunker
Conjoined twins are rare, appearing in only one out of every 50,000 to 60,000 births, mostly female, with few surviving infancy. Yet Chang and Eng Bunker became historic figures. Born in Siam, now Thailand, they inspired the term “Siamese Twins” and captivated America.
Their extraordinary lives ranged from working the land to starring in global exhibitions, fascinating audiences worldwide. Beyond their public persona, the brothers found love, marrying sisters and raising families. Their bond was so deep that when Chang died in 1875, Eng followed just three hours later. Their lives were inseparably intertwined to the very end.
