Chang Yu-sing the Chinese giant, and Chung Mow, a dwarf. Zhan Shichai AKA Chang Woo Gow (1841/47 - November 5, 1893) was a Chinese giant. His height was claimed to be over 8 feet, but there are no authoritative records. He left China in 1865 to travel to London where he appeared on stage, later travelling around Europe, and to the US and Australia as "Chang the Chinese Giant". Zhan received a good education in various countries, and developed a good understanding of ten languages.
