XILI BRO, THE PRETTY HOMELESS

(POST EN INGLÉS, COPIA DEL QUE LE HE ESCRITO A UNA PERSONA //POST IN ENGLISH, COPY OF THE ONE I MADE FOR A FRIEND //)

I found that morning a new for you. The typical small story that you will like. It is the story of  Xili Bro, the pretty homeless.

One chinese girl that bought a new camera in the city of Ningbo was trying it outside the shop, taking pics of people passing.

She saw a homeless that she found very sexy, and took a picture of him. Actually he was looking pretty, specially for his grounge style. She took 2 pictures. Those are the pictures:

Actually, its true that he's looking pretty, a bit Johnny Deep style, as you like!
Later she hanged the two pics in a page about the camera and...suddenly she started receiving hunderts of comments.
People got a bit crazy about him and very soon he became a kind of Chinese sex-symbol.
He started being so popular, that people mad ein internet lots of games using his face as if he was a model or something like that. Here are some of those pictures, from the blog http://andreay.blog.sohu.com/ :

But this is a true story in the real China, not a movie, so during this time the boy continued in the street. By the way I'm not sure if he is actually so pretty as people think, or just in those two pictures he was, by luck, looking pretty and grounge.
In any case, because of the pics and the fame, his family recognised him. He's married,. have two kids and a very stupid mother. He escaped from that life teen years ago. Now, because of those pics, the authorities forced him to meet again the family and sent him to a psyquiatric hospital.
The Chinese government used the story as propaganda and they even took pictures of the moment when the boy meat his family in a hotel...it was taken by a chinese official news agency there you can see that he doesnt look anymore so pretty and happy:

Seems as the police forced him to go and meet the family. Look the way the mother is watching to the camera (kind of proud) and compare it with the way he does (like in jail).
Probably the conclusion is that China isnt yet a good country to be famous, because I'm sure in any other country he would be now acting in movies and publicity...by the other side, it is also possible that he's really sick and just got famous because the day of the pic he was looking so well...who knows? Something to think about!!
