China is a place that gives birth to tall people. We don't need to talk about basketball giant Yao Ming any more, and now Bao Xishun, the owner of Guinness World's First Tall Person Record, who is 2.361 meters in height and from Inner Mongolia, will also retire as the second tallest person. Zhao Liang, a 27-year-old young man from Puyang, Henan, will be conferred the title of "the world's first tall person" if there is no accident. His height was measured in a hospital as 2.46 meters, 20 centimeters taller than Yao Ming. Zhao Liang said he would apply for the new Guinness World Record.
Zhao Liang was found when he was treated for the old injury of left foot tendon in a hospital in Tianjin. He was injured while playing basketball in a sports school, and since then he has not been able to find a job until 2006, when he became an actor in an art troupe in Jilin. He can perform magic tricks, and play saxophone and flute.
The heights of Zhao Liang's parents are the same as those of normal people. The father is 1.75 meters in height and the mother is 1.65 meters in height.
