Guo Jingming shows he's a big man when it comes to size

The stature of China's most famous youth novelist Guo Jingming is not in doubt - he's just 1.47 meters tall (or short).

To the author's credit he does not complain about his lack of length and was big enough to recount an incident that happened to him that made him look small.

He wrote recently on his micro blog that when he tried to board a plane, an airport security official asked him why he was not accompanied by his parents - obviously thinking he was so small he must be a minor.
