The World's Smallest man is going to reach great heights .The 40-year-old Chinese man, who measures about 2 feet and 6 inches, is standing for the title of the “World"s Smallest Man". After the former record holder He Pingping died, Huang Kaiquan, from Hejiang County, Sichuan province is eyeing for his title. In March , 2010 He Pingping had passed away taking away the title of the world's smallest man then.

Now , former actor Huang who retired at the age of 30 by falling ill is residing with his 58 year old mother in southwest China's Sichuan province. This little man is locally known as “Short Brother". He is only 1.4cm taller than Pingping and weighs just about 12 kg , resembling a three year old child. The little man's proud mother who stays with him has said that, “ He's not so heavy, he"s actually lighter now that he"s getting older."
