The man above is not a fashion model. In fact, you'd be surprised if I tell you that he is a homeless guy who was roaming the streets of Ningbo, Zhejiang province in China. A chance photograph by someone who was trying out a camera in a shop and which was downloaded to the Internet has made him one of the most searched-for figures on the Internet. He has been referred to as Xi Li Ge (Brother Sharp), Handsome Vagabond and the Fashionable Beggar. So when fame comes knocking on ones door, it doesn't really matter who or where you are.
HAPPY EVER AFTER ENDING???
Xi Li Ge's brother who recognised him from the photographs in the Internet have identified him as Cheng Guo Rong (程国荣). According to his brother, Cheng Guo Sheng, Xi Li Ge is from Shangrao City, Jiangxi Province, he was father of two children when he left home for work at the age of 23 and soon lost contact with his family. Now his children were 10 and 11 years old, but unfortunately his wife was killed in a car accident last year. Cheng Guo Sheng also mentioned that Xili Bro was healthy and alright when he left, not clear why he was deliriously living on the street.He has since been reunited with his mother and father.
