Queer, But Not Gay: Tall, Meet Short…

In this oddly touching though somewhat strange video, 57 year-old Bao Xishun, at 7 feet 9 inches (236cm), meets 19-year-old He Pingping, who is 2 feet 5 inches (73cm).
Mr. Xishun claims he was of normal height until age 16 when he experienced a growth spurt and reached his present height seven years later. Mr Xishun was confirmed as the tallest person by the Guinness Book of Records last year. Mr. Xishun is a herdsman from Chifeng and was recently married in a traditional ceremony to a 28-year-old saleswoman from his hometown. His wife, at 5′ 6″ only comes up to his elbow and is half his age.
Mr. Pingping was born nearby in Wulanchabu city, Inner Mongolia. His father claims he was only the size of an adult’s palm at birth. He is now seeking to be registered as the world’s shortest man by the Guinness Book of Recrods. He could be in for a disappointment though. While Mr Pingping is 73cms tall, the current holder of the title Lin Yih-Chih was measured as 67.5cm.
Both men are from Inner Mongolia, apparently. Wonder what else they have in common coming from such very different vantage points,
