And they say size doesn't matter...just ask Pingping as he stared up at Xishun.
The world's tallest man, Bao Xishun today shook hands with He Pingping who claims to be Earth's shortest.But these two men actually hail from the same region of Inner Mongolia.
While Mr Xishun, 56, towers above everyone at an astonishing 7.9ft, 19-year-old Mr Pingping is a mere 2.4ft high.
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.
