World's shortest man is from the highest country

While the world is watching the Oscars, there are people in this world achieving truly remarkable things, challenging the limits of the human being. This is the case of Chandra Bahadur Dangi, now acknowledged as the shortest man ever measured, with just 54.6 cm (21.5 inches). Without having ever sought any distinction, this 72 year old Nepalese saw in this acknowledgment a pride to his family, his village and his country. Not even with their previously written speeches the winners of the golden statuettes have ever spoke that well.
