Guan Gong
Record: 36.60 m
Guan Gong, also known as Guan Yu (160 - 219) was a general, who lived two thousand years ago in China. He helped his sworn brother Liu Bei to fight against the Wei dynasty and seized the throne of the last Han Emperor. He was also Zhang Fei's sworn brother.
The three brothers conquered Southeast China and founded a dynasty called Shu Han. They also fought against the Wu, another Chinese dynasty at this time, and during one of the battles, Guan Yu was captured and executed.
In later centuries, Guan Yu became a deity and was given the name Guan Gong, which means "Lord Guan".
