Circus Sideshow Chang The Chinese Giant 20210220
Zhan was a Chinese giant who toured the world as "Chang the Chinese Giant" in the 19th century; his stage name is "Chang Woo Gow". Zhan was born in Fuzhou, Fujian Province, in the 1840s, though reports of the year vary from 1841 to 1847. His height was claimed to be over 8 feet (2.44 m), 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 U.S. and Australia as "Chang the Chinese Giant". Zhan received a good education in various countries, and developed a good understanding of ten languages. In America, he earned a salary of $500 a month. -wikipedia
