[[File:Bao Xishun.jpeg|thumb|Bao Xishun]] '''Bao Xishun''' (also known as '''Xi Shun'''; born November 2, 1951) is in the [[Guinness Book of World Records]] as the [[earth|world's]] tallest living man. He is {{convert|236|cm|ftin|abbr=on}} tall. The last time he was measured was on January 15 of 2005. On [[August 7]], [[2007]] [[Leonid Stadnyk]] was measuring and was found to be taller than him. In September 2005 he made his first trip outside of China to [[London]] to visit Guinness World Records. Xi Shun served in the [[People's Republic of China]] army but got discharged because of [[rheumatism]]. He once saved some [[dolphin]]s' lives by getting pieces of [[plastic]] from their [[stomach]]s that [[veterinarian]]s could not reach. Radhouane Charbib was the tallest man by Guinness world records until Bao Xishun beat his record on 15 January 2005. That is where he was measured 2 millimetres taller in the Chifeng Hospital in China. {{DEFAULTSORT:Shun, Xi}} [[Category:1951 births]] [[Category:Living people]] [[Category:People from Inner Mongolia]] [[Category:World record holders]] {{bio-stub}}
