So You Think You're Short?

By M.K. Lim,

     There is no single person in this world that is satisfied with himself. Men are not satisfied with the size of their muscles. What more is there to say for ladies? Why do you think silicon was created?
    
      There are just things we cant change. If you’re fat, go on a diet. If you’re thin, eat more. But what if the things you’re not satisfied with cannot be changed no matter how hard you try? Try change from being short? Guy complaining not being tall enough, girls complaining being too short. Now, don’t you think it is better to just accept who  you are and get on with life? Life ain’t gonna get any better if you’re 5 cm taller or shorter.
But life sure is good for this man. Hei, he maybe once the shortest and smallest man on earth, but he sure made everything else in his life BIG.

 This man is He Pingping from Inner Mongolia China. He was holding the record of being the shortest man alive in Guiness Book of records with the heights of 2′ 5″ or 73cm. 

     This is when he met the woman with the longest leg. Hei, you may think he is lucky because since he is the SHORTEST he gets all the publicity and money. Have you thought about how life would be difficult for him? Would anyone want a life so different from others just for some fame and fortune for a short time? Or would it be better to live the normal comfortable life peacefully? I believe many would choose the latter. 

     He Pingping died at the early age of 21 on March 13th. He was in Italy for a show and he complained a pain in his chest. He was sent to the hospital and died over the weekends as reported in this article. His record is now being taken over by Khagendra Thapa Magar who claims to be only 53 cm tall.

How wonderful and diverse out world is.

R.I.P. He Pingping.
