Little China
A community of dwarves has set up its own village to escape discrimination from normal sized people.
Everyone
in the mountain commune in Kunming, southern China, must be under 4ft
3ins tall and they run their own police force and fire brigade from
their 120 residents.
Now the group has turned itself into a
tourist attraction by building mushroom houses and living and dressing
like fairy tale characters.
"As small people we are used to
being pushed around and exploited by big people. But here there aren't
any big people and everything we do is for us," said spokesman Fu Tien.
