World’s Shortest Man & World’s Tallest

Back on October 10th, FTV aired a special in which a 240cm tall man and a 70cm tall man traveled from their hometowns in China to experience life in Japan. The show billed itself as having the world’s shortest and tallest living humans, which was at least true in the case of the short guy, He Pingping of Inner Mongolia. However, I could not find much information on the tall guy, Chao (チャオ）, who is apparently not the world’s tallest living man, but it was still cool to see such a bizarre pairing.

Let’s take a look at some highlights from the show!
