   19-year-old He Pingping, who only measures 73 centimeters (2.4 feet), is   
   applying for the Guinness World Record as the world's shortest man.   
      
   Born in Huade county, Wulanchabu city in northern China's Inner Mongolia   
   Autonomous Region, He Pingping was only the size of an adult's palm at   
   birth, according to his father He Yun.   
      
   However, his tiny size benefits him enormously. In January, he had the   
   proud experience of attending a show in Tokyo, Japan, with the   
   invitation of a local television station.   
      
   Interestingly, his home of Inner Mongolia is also the home to the   
   world's tallest man, 2,36-meter Bao Xishun, according to the Guinness   
   World Records.
