"In the age of internet, even beggar can be famous, never mind Susan Boyle"犀利哥 means "sharp brother". This is a nickname given to the guy on the left based on a Chinese website for his "sharp look" and "sharp fashion" and here's a English version of the story. He is a beggar found on the street of Ningbo, the northeastern of Zhejiang province, China. The video below shows how he was being approached and asked about where he comes from and some people wanted to help to bring him home. He does not appear to be mentally stable.
He was being spotted all because someone found the sight of his "good look", took his picture and posted on the website. It attracted huge followings, even the Japanese.
Some admirers even "copy and paste" him on some contemporary outfit with a tie, like the one shown above. Sometimes, we don't know whether our good intention will bring good outcome. But I am just not too sure those who took pictures of him in the first place are of "good intention", but luckily it looks like the beggar has been brought to the attention of the Ningbo Municipal People's Government. Help is now on the way to get this homeless man a shelter. So, in the end, those pictures of his does serve some purposes and hopefully brings happy outcome for this poor man.
