LI  PO  SUI

Frank Dikötter in his book "Imperfect Conceptions: Medical Knowledge, Birth Defects, and Eugenics in China" says that in 1921 photographs of Li were put on display at the zoo in Beijing and that "The case of Li Baoshu from Hebei province was investigated by anthropologist Liu Xian of Fudan University in Shanghai."

26 June 1939

Li appeared at the 1939 New York World's Fair in Lou Dufour and Joe Rogers' "Strange As It Seems" Show.  Also on the same billing were Frieda Pushnik, limbless girl; the Williams family of Leopard-Skinned people; Forrest Layman, armless wonder; Avelino Perez, eye popper; Francis Murphy,

bearded lady (actually a man) and Marvello, the fingerless pianist along with eighteen other assorted acts.

"Liposui, a Chinese whose entire body is covered with wool instead of hair, has arrived in New York where he plans to exhibit himself at the World's fair. In getting a "hair" cut the wool is sheared off him just as is done to sheep."
