Chubby Shanghai boy gaining online fame – China Daily

From China Daily via Xinhua News Agency:

A baby-faced chubby Shanghai student called Xiao Pang(Â∞èËÉñ), or “cherub” in English, is gaining online fame as his satiric images proliferate across the Web. Netizens at home and abroad have digitally morphed a photograph of the 100 kilogram boy’s face into images of Harry Potter, Mona Lisa and famous Chinese film characters.

The images have earned the youth a new nickname, Bai Bian Xiao PangÔºàÁôæÂèòÂ∞èËÉñÔºâ, or “Changeable Xiao Pang”. Any search on Xiao Pang currently returns more than a million hits and netizens have written a short story called The Legend of Xiao Pang to go with the photos. [Full Text and more pictures]
