A couple - Sun Mingming and his wife Xu Yan from China - are the tallest married couple in the world according to Guinness World Records.


Mingming, 33, stands tall at 7ft 8.98" while his wife, Xu Yan, 29, is more than a foot smaller - but still incredibly tall - at 6ft 1.74". The couple has a jaw-dropping combined height of more than 13ft 10".

The pair are (unsurprisingly) sports stars in their home country - Mingming is a basketball player while Yan plays handball. They met at the National Games of China in 2009 and married in Beijing on 4 August 2013.

When the pair visited the Guinness World Records' UK headquarters, they shared their words of wisdom for a happy marriage. "No one is perfect, therefore you need to support one another on a daily basis," said Mingming. He also revealed the height-related difficulties facing the pair.

"Everyday tasks such as traveling by car, plane or
getting a room in a hotel do prove difficult, but we’re used to these problems," he added.

Almost everyone is a dwarf in their sight. Simply wow.

Do you know the funny part? They will always look down on people, no matter how humble they are.

Do you know the worst part? This man can never commit crime and hide from the police. He is probably going to be a good boy for life.

Do you know the confusing part? How is his blokos not the longest in the world? Cos I know the not-so-tall man that holds the record.

The Chinese used to associated with shortness but all that is changing in present day China because of improved diets, food choices and a host of other reasons as more and more Chinese people climbed out of poverty into a well established middle class. These days in places like Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Haerbin, it is normal to find young lads standing at 6ft.

The Chinese were never short. It was the White man's stupid bias which claimed so. Almost everywhere in the world the human average height remains the same unless in some areas stricken with poverty. People no matter what race possess the ability to grow up to seven feet regardless of environmental and nurturing factors.

Why do tall men like short women? He could have easily scored a six foot five inch wife but went nine inches shorter.
Random fact: there are more professional basketball players in China than anywhere else in the world combined -- population, baby!
