Huang Xuejing broke away from the kingdom he once called home six years ago. At just 130 centimeters — a little over 4 feet — Huang’s height permitted him entry into the kingdom in 2009.<\/p>\n

His physical growth was limited when he injured his spine in a fall at age 8. Having been warned that surgery to restart his growth could lead to paralysis, his family chose to not take the risk.<\/p>\n

The maximum height for workers there is 130 centimeters, meaning Huang just made the cut. He soon found himself working behind the scenes as a manager. But life wasn’t quite what he had been promised.<\/p>\n
