The monochrome picture rumored to be taken around 1880 in Hong Kong with
Zhan Shi-cha, a tall man in Qing Dynasty with a said height of 3 meters inside has recently surfaced on the internet. According to the historical archives, there was a really tall man Zhan Shi-cha born in 1841 in Wu Yuan of Jiangxi Province, but had no an official (definite) record of his height. It is said that Zhan was so tall that one day he was spotted standing to be breast-fed by his mother when he was still less than 2 years old. If Zhan shi-cha was really 3 meters tall, he were definitely the then world's tallest man!
