11. Four years ago, he was refused a world record, because at the time of filing the application, Hagendre Tapa Magru was only 14 years old, and according to experts he could still grow. (Excel Media / Splash News)
He Pingping was born on June 13, 1988. He was the third child of a family from Huade, in Ulanchabu city in Inner Mongolia, an autonomous region in northern China. Pingping had two sisters, both normal in height and now married. According to his father, Hye Yoon, at birth, their son was so small that he could fit in the palms of his parents and weighed no more than 500 grams. As a child, Pingping had to be fed milk through a thin straw because his mouth was also extremely small for normal feeding. Pingping started talking and walking only at about 3-4 years old. By the time he comes of age, his height stopped at around 73-74 cm, and his weight did not exceed 7 kilograms.
When it became clear that the boy was growing very slowly, doctors discovered deformity of the bones in Pingping, diagnosing osteogenesis imperfecta, that is, a genetic disorder that prevents the normal growth of bones and the whole body. Ultimately, the doctors settled on two versions of Pingping's unusually short stature. Either he suffered from dwarfism, and his affected endocrine glands caused him to be abnormally short. In this case, usually the height of a man reached about 130 cm, and a woman - 120 cm. Or Xe had a specific mutation in her genes. Be that as it may, no one could help him grow up.
In January 2007, Hye was invited to take part in a television program in Tokyo, making him one of the most iconic personalities on the Internet. It so happened that his native Inner Mongolia became the birthplace of Bao Xishun, a Mongolian shepherd, who was considered by the same Guinness Book of Records as the tallest man on the planet (2.36 meters) until September 2009.
For UK Channel 4, He Pingping starred in May 2008 in a documentary project entitled "The World's Smallest People and Me", hosted by Mark Dolan. On September 16 of the same year, a real historical meeting of Pingping with the owner of the longest legs (132 cm), Russian woman Svetlana Pankratova, took place. The two record holders were photographed on the steps of the stairs to Trafalgar Square in London.
In 2006, a fourteen-year-old Nepalese boy named Hagendra Thapa Magar did not get into the Guinness Book of Records. With a fantastically small height of 53 cm, he had to wait for his majority. Another contender for a new record for short stature was the Jordanian Eunice Edwan, but he never passed the official measurement by representatives of the Guinness Book of Records.
After He Pingping appeared on television in January 2007, he had to officially confirm his height and the right to be called the smallest person in the world. For this, the growth of the young man was measured three times in ten hours, after which he was issued a certificate, according to which He's record was officially recorded.
In March 2010, while filming a TV program in Rome, he felt ill, experienced chest pain and was taken to hospital. However, Pingping's doctors were not able to save - he died on March 13 from heart complications at the age of 21.
Craig Glenday, editor-in-chief of the Guinness Book of Records, said that Pingping, with such a small stature, had tremendous influence and could inspire anyone who considered himself unusual and different from all people.

Information
He Pingping, whose height was only 74.6 cm, entered the "Guinness Book of Records" in March 2008.
He suffered from a rare form of dwarfism, which manifests itself in a delay in skeletal development from birth. According to his father, He was born "the size of a palm." Despite his height and the inconveniences associated with him, he led the life of a TV star, and he even had a girlfriend. Craig Glenday. Chief Editor The Guinness Book of Records, which measured He Pingping to confirm his status as the smallest man in the world, said that from the moment he first saw Pinping, he felt that he was special. According to him, Pingping illuminated the lives of everyone he met and encouraged others who were considered "different." By September 2008, He Pingping, along with Svetlana Pankratova, the longest-legged woman in the world, presented the new edition of the Guinness World Records 2009.
By the way, in the new edition of the book, Hae Pingpin's place may be taken by Khagendra Thapa Magar from Nepal, who submitted documents to the Guinness Book of Records Committee on October 15, 2009 to receive the official title of the lowest man on earth.

Different people become famous by being famous for their talents or characteristics. The latter includes the Chinese He Pingping. He was recognized as the smallest person on the planet and entered the Guinness Book of Records. But at the age of 21, little He Pingping died.
Palm-sized baby
The smallest earthling He Pingping was born in the city of Ulanchabu, which is located in Inner Mongolia. This happened in 1988. The baby turned out to be smaller than the palm of an average adult and weighed only 500 grams. Parents were surprised at such a miracle, but did not abandon their son and began to raise and educate him. At first, he was fed milk, giving it through a straw - the baby had a tiny mouth that could not hold a mother's nipple or a pacifier.
In his development, He lagged behind his peers. But he grew up as a funny and cute child. He learned to walk and talk only by the age of four. By the age of 18, his height was only 74 centimeters. However, he weighed 7 kilograms. But his mental development It was amazing - He spoke well and looked like a fabulous gnome. He dreamed of becoming an adult and definitely getting married.
Genetic disease
There is a version that the guy suffered from dwarfism - this is a disease that occurs due to a genetic failure. Perhaps there was some kind of mutation in the genes of parents or more distant relatives, which manifested itself through generations. But the British experts who conducted the study of this tiny man are sure that he was not a dwarf. According to their version, this is how osteogenesis disorders manifested themselves - it is also called bone formation.
How I got into the Guinness Book of Records
And he became famous in 2007. Then his brother-in-law decided and applied to the Guinness Book of Records. He became interested and visited to clarify the veracity of the relative's statement. The undersized Chinese still received the certificate and was entered as a record holder in the Book after everything was carefully checked by a special commission and all protocols were followed. So, his height was measured three times a day - in the morning, afternoon and evening, to get the average value.
Family
In the Pingping He family, two more sisters of quite normal physique grew up. The parents gave the name to their son because of his tinyness - in translation it means "wine bottle". The Pingping family ran a small, cozy Chinese restaurant. He always tried to be useful to his family - he undertook to sweep, collect garbage. But more he entertained visitors and lured tourists by serving them glasses.
Vices and dreams
The boy began to smoke early - at the age of seven he became a heavy smoker and did not give up the bad habit until last days his short life, no matter how much his relatives and friends, authoritative people did not persuade him. There was only one answer: leave it yourself, but I won't. He smoked a pack a day, which also had a detrimental effect on his health and heart condition.
Growing up, the guy fell in love with beer, he liked to drive a car (it is clear that he could only hold the steering wheel while sitting in the arms of one of the elders). Some media outlets claimed that the guy even dated a woman of normal physique for some time. And Pinpin Jr. dreamed of a circus - he wanted to become a juggler or perform tricks. He was inherent in sociability and inquisitiveness - he gladly accepted the invitation and traveled to the United States of America and Japan, visited Spain. He became the hero of many TV shows and met, talked with a variety of people.
Unexpected death at 21
He died in Italy, or rather in Rome. The shooting of a popular TV show in the country and the world was in progress. The dwarf suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest - he began to complain and the attendants immediately called an ambulance. to send him to the hospital. But the doctors turned out to be helpless - the smallest inhabitant of the Earth died at the age of 21 from acute heart failure.
He Pingping's death came as a surprise to everyone - perhaps his excitement had its effect, or maybe it was predetermined at birth. Of course, bad habits affected his health, but He considered himself a man and was sure that this is how he should behave - smoking and drinking beer.
After He Pingping's death the title of the smallest man was given to 18-year-old Nepalese resident Hagendra Tapa Magr - his height is only 56 centimeters.
Surely, there was also a boy in your class or yard who was teased for being small. On the one hand, this is a manifestation of childish cruelty, on the other, a psychological atavism from the cave past. A small and weak child would hardly have survived without modern medicine and care, and even more so, he would not have had the opportunity to have strong offspring.
True, this sad story has nothing to do with really serious deviations, when the difference in height is not 15-20 centimeters, but a meter or more. After all, the smallest man in the world does not even reach the "meter in a cap."
The first step is to clarify the terminology. There are simply undersized people who have received less centimeters due to the characteristics of the organism and heredity, but there are also pathological cases when short stature is a manifestation of hormonal or genetic disruptions. Here they just get into the Guinness Book of Records.
It is also desirable to distinguish between midgets and dwarfs. The former keep proportions normal person, but "in a reduced version", the second can have some parts of the usual size, and others - reduced. Most often, the legs and torso are affected, due to which the general "shortening" occurs.
The Chinese are the most numerous people planets, it is not surprising that a variety of catastrophes of the human body, including dwarfism, fall to their lot. And one of the most impressive representatives is He Pingping, whose height was 74 centimeters - significantly less than the border of dwarfism.
He next to the tallest Chinese
He was born in 1988, and when he turned 18, he received the right to compete for the title of the lowest man on the planet. The fight turned out to be successful, and this title was indeed awarded to the Chinese.
His life also turned out to be rather short. He lived to be only 22 years old, after which he died of pulmonary failure. Numerous respiratory diseases have plagued him since childhood. One of the reasons is congenital disorders, the other is smoking. He had been smoking since he was 7 and served as the best confirmation of the phrase “don't smoke - you won't grow up”.
After the death of the mini-Chinese, the Guinness Book of Records team began to actively search for a new record holder. This is Hakendra Tapa Magar, a resident of Nepal. It turned out that he can not only replace, but also outshine the Chinese, because his height was 67.08 centimeters. Not surprisingly, his countrymen gave him the nickname "little Buddha."
Like many outstanding people, Hakendra has received its fair share of fame. In addition to being mentioned in the famous Guinness Book of Records, he starred in several programs, including documentary "I and the smallest man in the world."
But the Nepalese's record did not hold for long, only a few years, until the new champion, Jundry Balauing, grew up. True, in his case, "grew up" - does not sound entirely correct, because even by the time of his 18th birthday, his height was 59.93 centimeters - a record at that time. Reaching the age of majority allowed him to compete on an equal basis with others.
His relatives were engaged in its promotion, first of all - parents and a group of volunteers. Jundry is most likely uninteresting. He stopped growing in a year, and about the same time his mind stopped developing. Jundry can communicate short phrases, but I could not go to school. Parents note that they started promoting it in order to draw attention to their son, as well as to receive qualified medical care, which they cannot provide themselves due to their more than modest income.
This Hindu lived a long, though not overly joyful life. Due to his tiny stature and distorted body proportions, he could not find a wife and start a family, although he really wanted to. He was also unable to work in his agrarian region, so he lived his whole life in his brother's family, doing housework and making national costumes.
But at the age of 72 he was noticed, and quite by accident. The experts were amazed not only by his height - 56 centimeters - but also by his age. Dwarfs and midgets, especially so short, rarely live long. As a result, Dangi is not only the smallest man on earth, but also a long-lived dwarf. At such a venerable age, he visited Kathmandu, the capital of his homeland. This was his first trip. He stated that since he could not get married and start a family, he wants to devote the rest of his life to traveling. Well, let's wish him the best in that.
It is not known how this nomination will change in a few years, but so far he holds the title of the lowest person in history.
There have not yet been such small people in Russia. Konstantin Morozov, who can compete with the already listed applicants, had a rather modest height of 62 centimeters. He was not the lowest in the world, but he was able to reach an impressive age - he died at 73.
His life was full of events and people. Konstantin tried to lead an active lifestyle, and this despite the fact that he suffered from chondrodystrophy. In this disease, there are no bones in the body, they are replaced by cartilage. This is one of the reasons for very short stature and other concomitant diseases.
The stories of Konstantin Morozov and people like him are unique, but they teach you never to give up and not complain about fate, but to build your life in spite of all circumstances. And if they succeeded, then others will succeed even more so.
