World's tallest man marriesWhy is this news?

Man marries woman. He’s tall. She’s not. Big news.

OK, so he’s the tallest man in the world. Should we assume that’s an obstacle to his getting married? Maybe it is, in China.

I think the real angle to this story is the fact that this man herds sheep and his new bride is a saleswoman. A sales woman - in a Communist country. And she marries a herdsman. That would be like a Communist dictator’s henchman marrying a corporate executive in America. That would be news.
