Tallest Person, Meet the Shortest Person

While Khagendra Thapa Magar may be the shortest person in the world (20 inches), he still is not registered in the Guinness Book of World Records because of his young age. That title is held by Madge Bester of South Africa (Shortest Female at 26 inches) and Lin Yih-Chih of Taiwan (Shortest male at 27 inches). Lin Yih-Chih is currently being challenged by He Pingping from Inner Mongolia. He may be in for a disappointment though because he is now 28.8 inches. He should, instead, complete in the World Limbo Contest. However, that doesn’t take anything away from the following photo session of Bao Xishun (world’s tallest man at 94.8 inches) and Mr Pingping.

The following meeting took place in Baotou, Inner Mongolia, China

Bao Xishun recently saved choking dolphin by using his long arm to pull out some plastic shards from their stomachs. He recently got married to Xia Shujuan on the 24th of March, 2007 [ Link to wedding Photo ].

The following is an image of Madge Bester (Shortest human in the world):

Madge Bester and Lin Yih-Chih met in 1998 to bring attention to the plight of the physically disabled. She is quoted as saying, “My message to you is to take charge of your life. Forget your disabilities and use your abilities,”
